Default Anyone do electric 1/5 scale?

Hey, just wondering if anyone is doing anything large scale with electrics. I am in the process of building a 1/5 Skyline on road car using 14.4v and a drill motor. Top speed will only be in the 30mph range, but with a 2 speed trans it should go 50.
I'm using a Nikko Skyline as a starting point. Well, wheels/tires and body at least. You can get the bodies from Nikko for $26.00.
