Could not tell at the end there, if it was just too hot (friction) or if he got shocked. But an overhead view of the entire track would have been better.
Not sure what the rules with these are... Usually when I see a Video by some dude doing the craziest mods to his cars ( like a V8 with 8x Motors or a Suction Fan at the Bottom 🤣 ) he builds his track with a segment of track that goes up, across two lanes and then back down causing the car to go through all lanes, not just the center one like whats happening here. This also means you have to account for the Up / Down part of the ramp to prevent it from going off track ( hence the Suction Fan )
I... ok so I am curious, how would one calculate the actual speed that thing is going, and how much heat buildup caused by the simple friction of the bearings and rubbing along the track walls, and if allowed to continue would it eventually build up so much heat that the batteries in it would ignite? That seems fun but extremely dangerous toy. (Also if it skipped off the track would it become a lethal projectile launched in a random direction?)
wheels look like they're plastic discs and not actually rubber. very thin too. Probably not a lot of friction. Just enough to get acceleration and maintain speed but not enough to really heat it up.
I learned at least five new things today, thanks to y'all and OP. I don't know to express my sincere gratitude. The rest of the day had been very busy, with me performing rather boring duties for family and cleaning up other people's messes
I heard the pop too. I think it could have been a battery pop. That setup is just an electromotor spinning a simple drive wheel with what looks like direct draw from the batts. Very simple set up, but also a great way to make batteries pop if the draw on the batteries is too hard (it's basically like shorting the battery out).
Addendum; also, I think when he toweled it, that might have stopped the drive wheel, which would have shorted out the batteries massively because of the fat contacts and "relatively," thick wiring.
They look like 18650 cells, in which case you aren't making the batteries pop without some serious fireworks. If anything in there circuit popped it would have been some sort of protection circuit. I'm inclined to believe the pop was something in the drive line, possibly a gear or other splined drive.

Okay so how fast are we figuring?
ZaphodBeebIebrox
it looks like the values on the board are speed-lap-time. so 81 kph max speed and an average lap of ~1.83 seconds.

there's a lap clock at the back - the first number might be the speed, presumably in kph

It has a lap timer, known distance. Only one variable left to calculate

He tried to stop something insanely fast with his hand
HeywouldJablowme
No he used his shirt to stop the car
Zapathasura
Hmm. There's an audible crack after he already lifted it from the track and then he drops it. I think it gave him an electric shock.
hairlessOrphan
Probably used the rag to stop the car and then dropped the car because heat from friction.
Zapathasura
it kinda sounded like he got an eletric shock. Maybe static buildup? Or perhaps he touched a capacitor. I definetly heard somekind of a crack.
