Brushless - 1/8th Buggy??

[Nick Goodall]

I heard a rumour that there was some testing with a 1/8th scale Buggy running Brushless and something like 10 cells???

Can anyone confirm this?

With the way things are going on brushless, i could imagine they'd be seriously rapid....... and if they've got the cell capacity to match (imagine 10 or 12 x 4200 cells) i can't really see the benefit in running an Engine personally..... (just thinking of Maintenance, Clutch set-up, tuning etc) obviously i can see the appeal with engines, and wouldn't expect it to ever go out, but battery powered 1/8th cars running loads of cells and very fast motors would be pretty awesome i reckon.
