And you already have batteries from racing 1/10th, so its probably a lot cheaper than going into nitro as on top of kit price you would have the engine to buy.
I do understand it would be a little more expensive for a nitro racer to go into the electric side but not much more than you would pay for an engine for the new season.

not sure your 10th motor and speedo would be up to competing with the power of an 8th system?

Is there a kind of "agreed" voltage that 8th E-buggies are using now? We have a few guys at my local club who are into the E8th thing, but they are running around with 14V+ through their cars.
I think part of the problem is that no one really seems to want to step up and direct the potential new class through one direction or another.
I think E8th will be the bolloxs eventually. Rather than a big series though why not concentrate on one big event over a day or two?
Isnt Slough the best rallycross track in the UK apparently? Imagine a 2 day meeting at Slough, or somewhere like that.
