Paul writes, “The technology of high-power electric brushless motors combined with high-capacity lithium-polymer batteries and heavy-duty brushless speed controls has reached the point at which we now see unbelievable performance that easily surpasses nitro power.” The Need for Speed; Paul writes, “When this converted monster launches off the line, the rear suspension is compressed under the load as the front wheels fight to stay on the ground, and it accelerates hard to a top speed of 41.97mph in only 4 seconds.” With a fully charge battery he got 16 to 18 minutes of run time.
