Hey Ryan - ready to join the better side?
About the VE:
It's an MP7.5 - like all other Kyosho RTRs they are a rehash of older designs. I'm not keen on the Orion brushless system either.
So, yep, I'm a fan!
If you wanted RTR - get a Caster, or better, an HPI Vorza Flux - though I know you didn't get on with the D8.
Otherwise, convert an older car, stick a Castle Creations Mamba Monster Max ESC in there, get a couple of Hyperion or Zippy LiPos, and a Neu or Castle motor and you're set to go.
