At the moment, this type of technology has a low energy density.
In other terms, it means that you need a very large cell to supply all the power that a normal motor requires.

The most efficient fuel cells are the Fluid Carbonates type. This has internal temperatures in excess of 800ºC (celsius).
To me it seems to be a problem if you want to make it fit into an RC car.
