I got the point, but I belive that better comparison is horsepower/kg.
1HP/1.5KG is just too much.
I'll take McLaren F1 in comparison - has 550HP at 1,140KG (tech taken from wikipedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaren_F1).

so it's 0,666HP/KG in rc car compared to 0,482HP/KG which has McLaren
Now consider what electronic Mclaren does have to handle this power and keep it on road and what you've got in RC Car.
