I think that rc car launch are a hoax, we strapped a whole bunch of rocket engines to rc cars and never attained speeds like that.
But maybe drag slowed us down cuz we did not launch up a ramp, but in the end the Tamiya king hauler did get enough speed that it did disintegrate good on impact with a curb at a 45 degree angle.
The King hauler as it look, not the truck we destroyed.
On the fatal drive i think it was packing 5 rocket engines, each able to lift a 500 grams rocket with ease, and the launch was first on electric engine full speed in #3 gear and then when rockets kick in we switch to neutral for all rocket power.
Too bad the videos of it are lost on a crashed harddrive.
