Larger scale cars are easyer for us olds to see
There have been 1/6 and 1/5 brushless electric on/off road cars around for a good few years already,they just cost a small fortune.
For power to weight /performance/reliability and good old cost,1/18 brushless/lipo setups still cannot be beaten.
I still love stinkwheels though and i will keep on using them untill they get banned
