Great to see another member thinking about 1/5 scale electrics.

There have been a few 1/8 scale direct drive just like you mentioned and from what I can remember they ran great. One member here has a great idea for an outrunner direct drive. A 5th scale is much bigger than a 8th scale and you needing a large outrunner, I think a front and rear motor support will be ideal. I'll be following this to see how it goes.
