How to build a fast quad?

[Diven]

I have read a news:
On July 13th, 2017: DRL joined The Guinness book of World Records to fly the custom DRL Racer X.
DRL’s RacerX succeeds in world record attempt. They got the fastest speed: 179.3mph.

That's a amazing speed, but I don't need so fast speed, I just want to know how to build a fast quad, what should I do, what quad parts I need？What's the biggest factor for the quadcopter flight speed?

Just build it like a normal quad.

Did you see the video?

Largest Quad:

Sound like a Cessna

Yes, I have watched the first video, it is said they use 1550mAh 10S battery to flight so fast.

Try getting them 10s esc's.

It is hard to get 10S escs and lipos.

I know it is. & how much. £130 each.
They were a re brand of cicada I think.
Maybe this will help more of them coming out. I think I could step up to 5s but 4 does me for acro.

Thank you, but I don't want to build a quad like the DRL Racer X, I want to build a fast speed drone, just flight fast, so what should i do?

How fast. Do you fly or will this be your first drone. Because this stuff can be dangerous. Buy a toy or a simulation & get a few hours in first.. It will save you money, possibly someone's fingers or a life.
