I think there is a market for it. Racers don't seem to be as budget constrained. Bashers maybe, but I know the guys that race 1/8 scale will spend $400 bucks+ on a ESC and not think twice about it if it is more reliable. Engine mfg's don't seem to have a problem selling $400 mills to racers. 1/8 racing isn't a budget hobby by any stretch. Nothing will ever be bullet proof, but right now the failures just seem to frequent imho. Nitro guys would go nuts if they went through FIVE engines over a summer of racing.
