I am not sure if you guys really get it yet...
This thing has a 16" wheelbase and is 27" long. It runs 1/8 scale buggy wheels and tires. I do not think they will afford enough grip to make this car wheely, so it will likely easily spin the tires. That will limit the largest amp draw situation a rc CAR encounters, standing starts with alot of traction. Can it do 300amps? Maybe, but not for very long at all, that would be 6660 watts or 8.9hp... I just do not see 1/8 buggy tires being able to put that kind of power down.
Also, the bulk of experince with the MMM so far has been in monster trucks. Tire/wheel weight is at least 3 times as much compared to the x0-1 tires/wheels.
Braking will not be an issue, as traction will just not be there.
I highly doubt the power system will have any issues, a 10lb car with buggy tires that will not be jumped or off road bashed will lead an easier life than a MT does.
The 25c lipos could be an issue, but if they are "true" 25c then they can output 3.5hp continuous. I would be more worried about the traxxas connectors, but the average amp draw may not be that high.
I am sure a good 40c lipo with 6.5mm bullets will help with acceleration, but that brings us back to the amount of grip offered by the tires. If you are running on cold concrete there will not be much grip. Warm asphalt will be better.
You guys are overthinking this. I can't wait to get my hands on one of these.
