Perhaps the market is turning a little and a 4wd 1/10th electric truck could be successful again? 5 years ago to get a fast car you would be cooking motors and draining cells with the weight of the wheels and the drag in the drivetrain.
Now with brushless getting better with every new release, these kind of issues could be solved...
Anyone fancy combining a Kyosho TR15 Stadium Truck body and wheels with a Lazer ZX-5 chassis?
