really???? or is it how slow can i go? you are picking the wrong equipment for a world record, for world record, you will need a much more stable platform (buggy) a race .21 drag modified (about $800.00 engine alone and your lucky to get a gallon from it) or good brushless with good motors (neu), batteries (90c or better) a good esc (tekin rx8).

First of all, that IS a misprint. Second, the size of the fuel tank is also a misprint, that is, it is 125cc and not 150cc. Third, to Sylvain, you would realise that it is not really a "very low budget buggy" if you did some research. The Exceed RC MadFire Racing Edition buggy is a rebadged Nanda Racing NRB-3 Pro buggy. True, Nanda Racing may not be a popular or even known brand in the U.S.A. but that doesn't mean that it's not any good. If you have not driven one or do not own one, you should not speak badly about it. I own one and I'm quite happy with it. It's as raceable and customizable as many other buggies from the well-known manufacturers. Just to be clear, I'm not a 'fan boy' as I've driven a number of different buggies, including those from XRAY and Mugen Seiki and Team Associated and Hot Bodies and Losi. In my experience, it's 90% driver and 10% vehicle. I'm only racing at a club level and, in truth, the Exceed RC MadFire Racing Edition is competitive, as is ANY buggy that is set up based on the driver's preference. Just my 2 cents. 
I have never owned one, but several people that have bought them have brought them into our hobby shop.
I cant say anything good about it, and I will just leave it at that.

Hmm.. that is worrying, the record I am trying to go for is the longest R/C Car race. I want to get the buggy because I figure that it will be a lot more durable because it is meant to be raced on un even terrain and even my damaged sidewalk won't be a challenge for it because a on road car would get destroyed. Also because this is about endurance I need a lot of space to route fans and cooling lines because I need to develop a water rolled system. So the buggy is perfect and the price is very affordable. Which do you guys recommend the RE or the LE? http://www.exceedrc.com/18marcrareco.html

200 miles. First you need an engine that can take that abuse, I can think of none. And IMO there is NO buggy that will go 200 miles straight and not break.

200 miles of nitro fuel won't be cheap.
