Rugby man breaks own world record with remote control car

After completing testing, he took the car to the Yes Mate Speed event at the LLanbedr Airfield in North Wales to give it a go on the runway.

“What I did was look at all the areas of the car and try to come up with ways of improving them,” he said.

“For example, the aerodynamics. I actually made the whole car narrower to make it have less drag. The other thing you can do is give it more torque to help the acceleration and I did that by fitting larger drone motors.”

At his last race event, Wallis also trimmed his tyres to help him achieve the record speed and has more ideas to make his cars even faster in the future.

“I have got an idea of putting a rocket booster on one of my cars. So keeping it electric powered but adding a rocket to give it a boost just as it gets towards the speed traps,” he said.
