1/8th EP's sell well as bashers, but so far racing uptake is limited. There is simply little point. By the same token there are several types of nitro 1/10ths common amongst bashers but not raced. As a rule for the last 20 years nitro = 1/8th, electric = 1/10th.
The result is the 1/10th tracks are really too small for 1/8ths, and 1/8th clubs are heavily populated by nitro-heads who will hate your electric powered 'toy'.
Electric 1/8th enjoyed a brief burst of interest 2 years back as 1/10th racers tried something bigger, and 1/8th boys tried something quieter, but both groups soon reverted to what they know. It was what I'd refer to as a novelty group - being tried out by people who's real interests lay elsewhere. There were virtually no 1/8th EP only racers.

If you've bought the electrics why not get a DESC410 to put them in? It shares spares with your DEX, but is a very different beast indeed, and now has a very competitive class going on in our area.

Speaking of which, its worth pointing out that SC trucks have really only started becoming a successful racing class in their own right (rather than a novelty class) very recently. Its wasn't until this year that we got decent numbers of people who only owned trucks, and only wanted to race trucks. With 1/8th EP being a little behind SCT's, I'd suggest 1-2years more time before you get worthwhile numbers for places to consider actual 1/8th EP classes. Its made worse by the sheer cost.
