So I saw this on Mythbusters a few minutes ago, and I basically decided I'm going to build one. It totally is the coolest RC vehicle I have ever seen.
Excuse the poor quality of the clip, but it was all I could find.

I'll keep you guys updated on the progress of my project.

Cute. It could use some improvements though. Specifically, a metal nozzle to keep the fuel tank from catching fire. It might be wise to wrap the car in aluminum foil if you plan to drive through the flames much. It should insulate the car if any flaming droplets should land on it.
The tires look the most vulnerable, though I suppose the fire will get smothered by the rolling wheel. Maybe a foil wheel guard will work better.
A valve on the fuel tank will let you control the flow, and you can add chemicals to get various coloured flames.
