1/5 scale...how close are we??

Trust me, im right there with ya in wanting a brushless 1/5. I have some pics of one thats still in the testing phase. Last word I got on Monday was January for the release date. If you want them just PM me and I will get them to ya. Its based on a 1/8 buggy layout but just a little bigger to make it a 1/5 scale. I thought I would share this: http://www.bigsquidrc.com/redcat-pro...5-scale-buggy/

I know about the CC advancements that is why I mentioned it. Thats why I really feel we are close.

Will the Rampage MT come converted to brushless?? Also it seems that Redcat thinks it need to be RTR am I correct in the assumption?? I hope not. Maybe they can just make a motor mount for the MT and I can sell off the noisy petrol.

Ive been trying to talk them out of selling the brushless buggy as an RTR. So far I am not having much luck. Ive been telling them that anyone thats interested in one will either already have or already know what lipos/esc/RX/TX they want to use. I dont know if they will be offering a brushless version of the truck, but the brushless buggy could be converted over to a truck with just a few parts. About all it would take would be wheels/tires, bumpers, body and body mounts. Also I can tell you its extremely light compared to any of the other 1/5 scales I own or have owned. The gasoline XT MT(which is the name they are going with for now) is a few pounds lighter than my Nutech Thunderbolt 2 buggy and I bet its 10lbs+ lighter than a Rampage MT.
