Far in historical sense?
>the good ones literally run on nitromethane
The old ones. The one you posted is a flimsy Traxxas so probably a two decades old design at the very least.
Brushless electric beats nitro up to 1:7 scale easily, beyond that you usually get a proper 2-stroke gas ICE instead of nitro (because lol no power) and brushless is still competitive with it even in 1:5 scale. Becomes too heavy and expensive after that, so I guess that's where the reasonable boundaries for EVs are at the moment.
