Default 70 mph/hr Electric 5th Scale Cars!

Great looking LMP style cars!

Carbonfiber ground-effects/diffusor chassis with Kevlar reinforcements. Under development but not for sale. Clocked 110km/hr during testing!

Check out these links from the Netherlands, can use Google Translation to convert the website to English:

This is the future gentlemen. I'm madly in love my 23cc cars but in reality it is just a matter of time before the environmentalists catch wind of the big events where 100+ nitro cars smoke-out a parking lot or the big 5th scale events in Europe cause a stir. These engines are great but really pollutive.

Just wish there was a way to make these electric cars sound as sweet as our two-stroke cars.

I'm just sayin....

Nice there are gasser 1/5 scale turning up to 97MPH. Yes electric is instant power and torque but just have no soul as well as short run times. But each to their own.

I'll bet that these don't replace our gas cars for a while!! Nice looking cars--but I"ll bet we could convert one of our FG cars to run better!! And you're right--they SOUND like CRAP!!! I'll stay with the gas cars for my foreseeable future!!
