Saw this and having an MCD gasser here, was very intrigued since at heart, I am an electric man.
Had contacted MCD awhile ago and from what they said looks like end of 2012 they are thinking of having something ready.
Since the MCD is not heavy like the Losi, they probably don't need as much to get stuff moving around sufficiently, probably an 8S lipo setup at most and that Castle XL ESC could work out, current shown setup is dual 3S lipos.
Hopefully they don't go with a killer price.
here are some pics:
