Gas at the track and batteries for work. I can live in that world...

I can't tell you how bad I want to build an all wheel drive electric autocross car. If I had to do it over again and more funds the '55 Bel Air would be all electric. I love burning gas but I'm also a fan of huge torque.
I've always said that anything electric that was once a gas burner I probably wouldn't be interested in. I have several RC boats, some run off of nitromethane and some run off of a gas/oil mixture. The nitro boats are a pain to keep running correctly the gas ones are pretty neat. I saw my first really quick electric boat about a year ago..... I was impressed! These boats have water cooled electric motors in them, and run like a bat outta' .
the mini electric cars with lipo and brushless motors will do standing back flips from a dead stop. The larger scale cars beat the nitro cars on the track.. the club where I used to live no one ran nitro, didnt even have a class for them anymore. If it werent so expensive to convert a classic I would seriously think about it next time I need an engine.
Here's some more EV conversions:
