i was thinking cus they have smaller wheels they get less far.

Bottom line is power versus weight ratio. The RC vehicle has a lot less weight to move, thus needing less power. As a rough figure (based on something I researched loosely about 5 years ago) an RC gas vehicle would be about like a professional top fuel dragster in terms of the power to weight ratio. Figuring scale into the mix and you can see RC vehicles running scale speeds of over 500mph.

If You studied physics at all the answer is quite simple,otherwise it is hard to explain.

Why does a motorcycle out run a police cruiser? Its all about the gears. The lower the gears the faster the take off, but also the lower the top speed.
