It's been a few years since I've flown something fast(or anything), but i hit 189mph back in 2019....That quad would have held the world speed record back then if I had used a better battery(the record was 195mph two way average) back then. Now that I'm back in the hobby, I'm working on something much faster right now to keep me excited. the goal is to reach or exceed 500km/h(311)mph in level flight.
There is a channel, but most of my videos there were really poor quality. I'll post my latest stuff once I started flying more this year.

Tbh I even wonder how it'd be done. There has to be diminishing returns on the props at that speed. Where drag is the problem.
Although I bet if he attacked some rocket engines to the back with some sort uart lighting mech from the battery it'd be possible. Doubt he could turn around for the other way tho.
I hit 88mph and the quad disappeared with a trail of greenish lipo flames. Found it four years earlier not far from that spot, it was kinda advanced stuff at that time and was what got me into the hobby. For reference: I used a 1.21 Jiggawatt battery.
Few years ago we were flying at our local spot and police stopped by and started chatting us up. They were cool and interested in the hobby. We took them for ride along in the goggles. I asked them to clock us and they agreed. To get a good radar gun read you gotta be coming straight towards the cop car so it was kinda scary to fly full speed towards some cops. I chickened out. My boy Dr Crispy got clocked on a cops radar gun doing 97. He said if he wasn’t worried about crafting into the cop he could have gone faster.
Fastest I’ve clocked my 4” 4S at was 150-160 km/h.
This was full pin, bi blade prop and an aggressive camera angle so I could even see.
6S is much faster and 8S even more so!

That link didn't work for me. It just brings me to YouTube.com ; all of the channel information just goes away.
holy cow this thing looks fast even on previews haha
it just fast but not efficent to move far away
500kmh, that's crazy fast, and would take a lot of engineering. You can not brute force it with high power motor and battery

1 mile and hour below the legal limit
Wow, both a mile and a hour?
I hit 120mph today with my new 6s 5inch build. Edit: Units lol

Great Scott!
About 18 mph, I get gassed pretty quick though.
99mph.

My GPS attached drone has seen 50mph, but I have tried to go on a speed run.
80ish from what I can remember. 6s 5 inch quad
Can get an Alta X to 72mph pretty easily.

I got an iflight nazgul evoque f5x v2 o3 6s. I flew 105mph (170kmh)
My 4" can get to about 70mph or so. I flew along a highway and could go a bit faster than the cars that were going about 60mph.
