Back when I was racing R/C I had always thought about how easy it would be to strap a cam on one and use it for this very purpose.

Traxxas makes stuff more aimed at the entry level R/C enthusiast, not the racing scene, but there stuff sure is durable which is probably why it worked out so well for them. The brushless Stampede can indeed reach some impressive speeds with HV lipo packs.

Too bad they probably won't put these into service on a larger scale. I guess $600 or so for a unit is too cheap for the government, they rather spend $20,000 on something that does the same thing.
