I found myself struggling with Tuesday nights so havent raced since Feb/March. In the new year I am going to try and juggle my time to get some racing again, but am now thinking if 1/8 electric might be the answer so I can race at weekends and not worry about rushing around on a tuesday. Also my XB9 nitro was my favourite car I've owned so would like another 1/8. I just struggled with the nitro racing element of things before, so 1/8 electric might be the perfect compromise?

Are there many 1/8e race where you go? What cars tend to be the most popular? For me the cost is a huge factor, so as much as I like the Kyosho I will never pay £600+ just for a kit. That is a scandalous price.

I have seen a DEX408 once and it did look good, so it is definately one to consider....
I've done a couple at Nene Valley and one of the E8 nationals, but I had some electrical issues with the motor I was using so had a naff day...

Not a huge number of electrics, but they are just so easy compared to the nitro's!!! (now I have a decent motor!)

Looking to do a few more next season
