i am just finishing my RC8t build and have finished my 1/8 schumacher so now i can move on to the 1/5. however, Mohanjude turned me onto these 1/5 brushless setups that are absolutely sick in germany on ebay. plus i can get the complete setup (except battery and servo) for the same as what it would cost me to make a motor mount if i convert this one on my own. for basically $500 US plus $50 shipped you get the car, painted body, motor, esc, ARTR. just needs lipo and servo like i said. check it out. and check out their other auctions. so i am thinking of just getting one of these and then adding a more badass motor to it.

I have already got this car. The body shell is excellent. The motor mount looks like it will do the job. As I expected the brushless motor and controller are not upto the job of propelling this car to any significant speed. However I have got a big bad Lehner 2250 or 2280 just waiting to be mounted. Looking to power it on 10s. Hopefully it will be worth the effort. The car is a fraction of the weight of my FG aluminium car that is heavy due to the aluminium, hydro brakes etc..
RYU JAmes - did you actually purchase the car and receive it yet?
