I'm quite impressed, especially since the car is so small and hard to see from a significant distance.  I wonder whether a bright onboard LED would be very useful.
Of course, that by itself may not much help show the operator which way the
vehicle is facing or traveling.

An onboard camera & transmitter might help to allow the operator to control the vehicle, as if "seeing and driving" from an onboard location.

As a former r/c  racer , it is quite impressive. It looks to be a distance of a 1/4 mile + -  .Mine with a modified motor will run only about 30-35mph.
Always wanted to gear up mine and drive next to it (Sitting in passenger seat) to see it's top speed. but then where do I find a smooth enough surface like they have. 
Then there's the steering which I need to slow down a bunch or just use the trim may work.
Mine at full speed any steering input results in kart wheels and a yard sale of broken suspension part's laying all over the road. 😬

His next video he goes over the whole car to show how those speeds are achieved.
BTW....
Those are real mph not scaled down speeds.
