1/8th Electric - is it the future?

[mikeyscott]

So after seeing the little review of the Proline weekend, how much do you think the 1/8th Electric class will grow?

If it grew to current 1/8th nitro or 1/10th off road I'd be very interested. I don't have the time or experience to tune engines, clutches and so forth.

If it was to grow I'd be the first to say "what could we achieve at TORCH".

Is it just another "dumb truck" class in the UK and will remain confinded to the USA?

Given say £1200 as an example figure, would I spend it on a nitro setup - no. Would I for a 1/8th electric, yes. That's just me and I'm not knocking anyones chosen class of racing, whether it's Mardave to 1/5th scale etc.

Thoughts?
