@VestedUTuber Yes. However, the electric brushless motors and insanely powerful electronic motor control result in even more power to the wheels – especially because you can control electric motors much more accurate to limit tire slip.

@VestedUTuber I guess I failed to communicate that my point was that nitro cars were historically the top of the line but nowadays with brushless motors and high-end ESC electric cars have taken the top performance crown. I think the switchover from nitro to electric for RC cars was near year 2013. In similar sense, I'd expect even real top fuel dragsters to be replaced with electric cars in the future. The battery tech isn't there yet, though. Full sized F1 car being nearly equal to miniature RC car is a step on this long path.
