Large scalers are pricey, electric large scale is going to cost even more. I think the big outrunners from HobbyCity are the best bet other than a 2215 or maybe a Neu 1527.

I really do not see why a properly setup 1/5 scale truck could not use a 1527... Still need to be HV, to benefit from the lower amp draw, but a 1527 should be ok. I plan to run a 1527 2y on my 1/5 scale savage on 10-12s lipo.

Should be fine, but AFAIK it has never been done before. IIRC the 1527 is rated to 3,500 watts which should be plenty.

I ran my 1521/1Y on my heavy BPP truggy on 10S twice and it was just ground shaking power. The ESC (Schulze 40.160) was a bit warmer then usual and the motor was about the same temp. which seemed like 130-150F. It's all a matter of finding the correct load the ESC and motor will like. I've found it on a few set up ranging from 1/18-1/8 scale and I haven't changed much. The most important thing I found was to get a data logger to see how many amps a particular set up is asking for. It might not be accurate, but it's plenty to determine what kind of batteries one would need to match the amp draw.
