I didn't know there was a remote control car world speed record... thank you Paul !

 

Stephen Wallis from Warwickshire, set his previous record with a remote-controlled model which recorded a speed of 234.71mph earlier this year. 

 But after modifying and upgrading he recently hit a top speed of 256.74mph
