As for my self I knew about a "big" esc, but I did not know anything about a 3 pound motor and, not to mention, the conversion kit for the 5B.
So, all in all great news and 1/5 electric is back with a vangeance.
German FG had a 1/5 scale electric some years ago but the car was quickly discontinued - if I remember correctly.
Maybe FG will release the car again?
Best Regards
