Traxxas X0-1: World’s Fastest RC Car Hits Speeds of 100+ MPH Using iOS App [video]

Real-life supercars are damned expensive, so it only makes sense that their radio-controlled counterparts would be equally so. Coming in at around as much money as you’d expect to pay for a beat up pickup, the Traxxas X0-1 RC Car is ready-to-race straight out of the box. Known as the world’s fastest RC automobile, it’s capable of 100 mph speeds and boasts a 0-60 time of just 2.3 seconds.

The X0-1 features an aerodynamic body, a big block brushless motor, an integrated speed, RPM, temperature, and voltage telemetry system that works with an iPhone or iPod touch mounted in the controller’s docking base to give you unheard of control over your mini-ride, and heavy-duty AWD drivetrain so you don’t burn the thing up in the first weekend.

The Traxxas X0-1 RC Car is available for $1,100 at the official website…
