Totally. I can see that 1/5th scale owners are all over this, since there aren't that many ESCS that can handle all that weight with ease. But I wonder why they didn't opt to go higher on the voltage. Do the HV components cost insanely much more? Must be the code, or something, since air and sea HV escs are relatively cheap.
Would it really be that hard to get a car-dedicated ICE HV @ 10S, even for 1/8 cars, at a reasonable price like 250-300$?
