I didn't receive an answer on the 4WD 1/5 scale yet and I sent jzemaxx a PM to get it from the place he found. I can't comment on the quality of those low priced 1/5 scale, but some people have used them with great success. The electric 1/5 scale kits from Harm are priced nice as well, but we will know how legit a company is after someone buys one a get it
. I personally would go with the 4WD models for the added traction, but the $299 for that 2WD car is good. I think they even come with front disc brakes and all I would do to them is make a custom motor mount and a nice battery tray to allow 10 to 14S lipos or lots of A123 cells
. I'm sure they would make a killer speed machine or a nice efficient HV race monster. My biggest problem for not getting one is the time to convert one. I have most of the things needed except time. I will do one as time comes.
