i realize the massive power would be hard to control. i actually heard of a guy(maybe the ofna site) who put a hyper 8-port in one and he said it is crazy fast! don't know what kind of $ you want to spend , but if was to do a 2-wheel drive vehicle , i would check out the nova-rossi black pixi. it's a .12 with 1.4 hp and a redline of around 40,000 rpm. i just like to put extreme power in small cars, be it 1/1 or r/c. just my preference.
