Hmmm..you sure that's an actual jet engine? Looks like a 1/12 electric. I know jet engines aren't that small. I'll bet it's some sort of electric ducted fan.

Hmmm, yeah, well even electric, i'd be very curious how it ran. I know even the electric ducted fan jets are pretty quick.

haha, that's a scale speed of 150mph. It most likely goes about 15mph. That car's definitely an electric.

It is an electric ducted fan. Pretty big one, too.
I have Kyosho's twin ducted fan Lear Jet, and with the technology in motors and batteries, I don't doubt it could reach a good speed, maybe 50 or 60 in a straight line, but 115 seems hard to believe. Keep in mind, there's no power to the wheels, so it wouldn't be getting much control around corners. Anything powered by a fan, turbine or prop is meant for a straight line.

First off I think it looks totally rediculous! Second, the speed of 150 mph states "equal to" which is scale miles. So if it is /10 scale that means it goes about 15 mph, and I bet thats stretchin it.

I just noticed that there's no streamling on the fan setup, so this is NOT in real speed. Just a toy.
