1/12th scale pan cars are indeed fast. I actually have a SpeedMerchant Rev.3 that I'd be willing to sell - especially with the purpose of a good project :003:
They can be set up very firm and they are VERY easy to work on. Everything is essentially mounted to one CF plate (chassis) with a motor pod in the rear.
The only issue with these cars (when used outside of the carpet world) is usually ground clearance. My car, when set up to run on the carpet, has about 3-5mm of ground clearance. You could definitely set the car up for some speed runs on asphalt by putting new tires on and not cutting them down to normal running diameters.
I'd consider 3s or 4s lipo with a 380 motor and good speed controller. Should be able to get a good 2000mah (or larger) high-discharge lipo to fit the battery location, and Quark 60A controller with a 380c motor to fit in the little thing. That could absolutely fly. Just don't hit a pebble...or a crack in the road...or a spec of dust...at those speeds :003:
