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

They arent nearly that expensive anymore, unless your talking HPI, MCD, and FG. Redcat, Nutech and a few other companies make a very solid 1/5 scale. Even the Baja clones are pretty good.
I do agree with ya though, a brushless 1/5 is not a cheap affair by any means. To get comparable runtimes to a gasser, you'd have to have well over $400 in batteries, and thats using Zippys.

What about just mounting one of these into a FG MT?? Is the esc and motor just junk??

Does anyone know how many cells that this esc and motor could handle??
