Bump up finals are very much a nitro thing. At the recent Proline event at Herts a lot of the 1/8th buggies were suffering from overheating and some could not make the 12min main final duration.
3 legged 10/12 min finals would make the most sense, as it keeps the cost of batteries down and also reduces the chances of killing speedos/motors through overheating.
