Once done properly I'm sure it would "smoke" a nitro car. LOL The options are out of this world with a couple 5KmAh Li-Po's in there.... you could put one in orbit!

Of course, the concept here is...powered by electric motor but trying not to change too much of the car itself.
If I am the one to design something for 1/8th electric, I would simple do a 4WD 1/8th version of the Kyosho SPARA....probably the easiest and fastest thing for the size of 1/8th....pan car design with a simple 4WD drive train..........since 1/8th are mainly runs on dedicated race track, having 4 wheel independence suspension might not be 100% necessary...
