Brushless might become obsolete soon.

Very cool. Would be fun to play with. IMHO, a great way to R&D this technology.

Interesting; will be interesting to see what the power curves are like in comparison to LiPo/LiFe technology.

Wow! ... 50mph for 45-50 minutes!? Even on a TC that's pretty impressive. I want two of these for my GTP......and one for the Rustler.

Where's it say 50? All I could find is reference to the Tamiya platform that they said was able to do 50-70 and one of the reasons it was chosen. At most the FAQ seems to indicate that it has a 0-60kph (thats 38mph) capable speed...

At 0:50 into the video it says on the bottom- "speeds in excess of 50 mph for 45-60 minutes".

Ah... didn't look that fast. And their FAQ seems to indicate otherwise. Guess we'll have to wait til there in someone independent that reviews it.

Hmm... "No word on pricing yet." That means: "Start saving now."
