We've been looking at the EV market very closely. There is a lot of potential there. :)

LOL! Same thing here in Florida. When I was driving my '93 LX Mustang (with a few handling/chassis mods) I was ITCHIN' to find some twisty roads. BAH! There's not even a HILL in South Florida... Now where I go to school in Central Florida....there's actually some fun roads.
Ah, so you have been looking at the EV market....you sneaky guy you! That'd be awesome to have a 1/10 RC vehicle powered by Castle, and then a 1:1 ALSO powered by Castle.
Hey, quick question, but are induction motors possible for RC cars (IE- would they be a good option for them?). From what I understand, and induction motor is simply a brushless motor that doesn't have a magnet, but rather a steel or iron rotor that has a current induced in it from one of the surrounding coils. The Tesla uses it IIRC. I also remember that they're a bit tricky to drive from an ESC standpoint, and require some serious programming and start up skills.
