Probably the most innovating thing at RCX 2016 was the Wheel Electric Motor Conversion for the HPI Baja 5b and Losi 5ive T from TIDNAB Innovations dubbed the "Silent Beast" BUT, it's not your typical electric conversion, TIDNAB takes huge magnetic driven motors and incorporates the motors on each axle set inside the rim of the vehicle. This equates to total horsepower straight to the wheels with no driveline/transmission to get in the way. With claimed speeds of up to 120 miles per hour (yeah, in a fifth scale!!) TIDNAB could have something here.

Tidnab Innovations was started with an idea of building the first in wheel electric motors for 1/5 th scale R/C cars , all the conventional standards were thrown out the window in favor of unmatched performance. Conversion kits were sold to retrofit the existing cars with these high end electric motors. Today, Tidnab Innovations is a multinational company and its products are synonym of performance, high quality standards and North American technology.
Tidnab is developing its own 4 wheel drive 1/5 th scale Supercar fully assembled with a sharp body design and massive powerhouse in wheel brushless motors that can reach speeds of up to 100MPH, all this delivered in a beautiful aluminum box. "Ready-To-Play" (RTP). Tidnab RTP has the same performance and quality as traditional R/C kits, only that you didn't have to build them. The kit version is still offered for those who want to have the building experience.
Tidnabs' interest in R/C does not just stop on land. In 2016 Tidnab will unleashed an all-out technological assault on the R/C world and apply their expertise to the world of R/C plains. There is nothing like it an electric motor that can keep your plain in the air for close to an hour of flight.
