I would be surprised if RC would be an early adopter for this tech. I see the potential for better, smaller, safer batteries being good for everyone. I just think RC applications will take a while to manifest.
For some reason RC cars are always late to the party with new tech. Airplanes had brushless and lipo a while before cars. Nowadays drones have some pretty impressive tech that I'm not sure we'll see anytime soon on cars.
