Not sure why I'm posting...maybe because I'm interested or maybe it's because I have a XO-1 and it doesn't go that fast...and let me tell you I've tried!
Anyone heard about Team Associated and their trek to 200mph???? They have a seriously overpriced speed run car dedicated to going 200mph. I think, at this point, they've spent a TON of man hours working on it and only hit a top speed of 168ish. That's only 15mph faster than this XO-1. Maybe they should re-think their platform.

My guess is that the car was on a workbench with zero load and zero wind resistance on it. Spooled up for a second or two could post a pretty high speed. I'm going outside to try this test. Expect a 200mph video in a couple hours.
