the drl racerx

After months of trial and error, hundreds of broken motors and fiery crashes, DRL’s RacerX succeeds in setting a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title.

GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ TITLE

Average speed of 165.2MPH / 265.87kmph with a fastest oneway top speed of 179.78mph.

DRAG RACE

In order to set the achievement, RacerX needed to fly back and forth across a measurement course of 100 m (328 ft.), with the official record set as the average of the top speed achieved on each of those flights.

TECHOPS

The record-setting RacerX represents the culmination of years of technological innovation by the DRL Techops team.

THE NEED FOR SPEED

Outside of the power system, the rest of the build is quite simple, using only a few dozen parts.
