Dont think we have much to worry about,raced 1/10th 13 or so years ago then had a break went on road now had 1.5 seasons of it since and loving it again.
We have a nitro track near me they bought 1/8th electic spent money on the gear,and only last 15 mins if that,now not be funny but i did 1.8th nitro (dont hit me) liked it but when you race it you need 2 people per car, then £45 on tyres a meeting if you are lucky.
Not trying to upset people but if people go to a meeting see the fast nitro guys,most will say how fast will that go,plus how much does that cost when you say £300 for a engine then 450 for a car ish then all the rest you can see why people run.
Gone off track but
However did the f345 this season gone i think Paul Worsley said 400%increase in the 1/10ths strongest they have had,and i dont think the lipo and brushless have done us any harm in fact so much easier to be as fast as the brca A finalists (at least down the straight) no black magic needed for motors,etc.
Little knowlage for the escs but forums like OOPLE shed light on a number of things everyone tries to help each other.
RTR are popular too with the main ones as the losi,associated and kyosho do them only other to come out is durango if they will.
At my local track Trccc there has been an average of about 40 drivers at each meeting which i think is good as where we are in the SW we dont have that big of a catchment area as tracks in the midlands do.
So i do think we have nothing to worry about this season apart from 1 think a am affraid is the weather cant stand racing in the wet
