Ya, i've seen all the videos to do with AltairNano batteries/ Pheonix Motors.

The nice thing about the Altairnano Nanosafe battery, is that they actually have a 'prismatic' cell format, which is the way to go for RC, and electric vehicles (however there are pro's and con's for both in EV's).

They also claim 4000-Watts/kg continuous, which is always nice ;)
Which usually means lower cell Impedance, which translates into better performance for RC cars.

It will be nice once batteries don't have any voltage droop under load, has a super flat discharge curve. Or maybe we will have the new Super capacitors that several companies are working on(~1,000,000 cycles, 10,000W/kg, etc.)

Or maybe we wont even be relying on energy storage, maybe we will have the so called "Zeropoint" or "Vacuum" energy being utilized? :) Imagine endless energy at hand.
