Seeing the money the 5th scale guys put into the high end motors, getting them customized, $200 plus tuned pipes, and so on, electric seems a lot more reasonable.

Yep, a 350 dollar motor, 300 dollar esc, and 450 or so worth of batteries would make a 1/5 scale scream! 1100 bucks well spent. I really want to do a large scale build, but the lack of a purpose built car hv esc is stopping me.
