A user named Brandon Botwinick posted video on the website Viralhog, which shows him racing a blue electric car controlled using a specialized transmitter in a race with his friend. Impressive footage shows an electric race which could've been mistaken for a regular car after it clocked up 120 mph on a highway The car is seen stopping and starting before it gradually gains speed as it travels up the highway at 122 miles per hour. The other car that it is in a race with trails behind and the noise could be mistaken for the engine of a real car. The car was racing on a highway which appeared to be closed off with on other traffic seen around. The car is seen stopping and starting before it gains speed as it travels up the highway A speedometer on the corner of the screen shows the car gradually getting faster and faster The radio-controlled device eventually clocks up 120 miles per hour and the noise could be mistaken for that of a real vehicle It is not known which type of radio controlled car was being used, but it is unusual that one would have the capacity to amass speed in such a way. Electrically powered models utilize mechanical or electronic speed control units to adjust the amount of power delivered to the electric motor. The power delivered is proportional to the amount of throttle called for by the transmitter and the more the user pulls the trigger, the faster it goes. The voltage is then pulsed using transistors to produce varying output with smooth transitions and greater efficiency. In recent years, hobby-grade ready-to-run models are now produced by major manufacturers and have attracting many car enthusiasts. Pre-assembled models are ready for immediate use and reach to speeds of about 70 miles per hour, with some modified versions capable of reaching 100 miles per hour.
