It's a EK4 from Thunder Tiger. It's been around for years now. If you've read a RC magazine in the past 2-3 years I guarantee you saw an add for one.

ek4's are nuts. Like Tex said they the they have been around for at least 3 years if not more. There were never popular though because parts used to be impossibly to find and they have sooo much low end the thing is almost useless on a track unless you are incredibly skilled on the throttle. in all the videos I've sen when those get traction they pull the most brutal violent wheelies ever!
