I would also like to comment on AAngels point. I absolutely agree with the gas (not nitro) engine concept. One must eventually ask, "Where does a model car end, and real cars begin? At what scale does the grudge on electric power catch up? 1:6? 1:4? 1:2? 1:1?" We all know that electric powered real cars are not...desirable. And at some point in size (I hate to admit it), Gas will overcome Brushless, in every way. I guess we start to see it in the 1/5's. I knew brushless was too good to be true!
