What name should we give to the emerging 8th electric class?

[telboy]

Would you run along side the normal 8th's? or run it with the 10th elecs?

[bigred5765]

both none ether i dont care i cant wait to give it a go

[mark christopher]

how about the SBD's
silent but deadly

[Chris Doughty]

am I the only one wondering why we don't just call it 8th electric off-road?

I think a 'cool' spangly name will age, it might sound cool now, but in 2 years, it might be out of fashion.

[Northy]

I think we should just call it 'dib dab cross'.

Will there be any rules?

[Lee]

No G rules are for *****

Steady on chris, thats just crazy

Agreed though, it does make sense

[_JP_]

what sort of run time are we looking at?

I like the pit stops, its a make or break sometimes and keeps the racing close, but if you could do 20mins on charge it would be easier as I would not need a pit crew

[Tim Ward]

Has anyone seen the conversion kits Novak are doing?

Sounds like we have an easy solution to the conversion issue.

I'm up for it.

11.1v LiPo seems a good idea, higher volts=less current = more run-time and lower heat generation.

Ive read that run times of 20 Min's are achievable quiet easily, i just cant wait

In fact most 8th scale conversions run a 4 or 5 cell lipo which means 14.8v or 18.5v. A 4 - 5 cell lipo of the 5000mah variety should give you about 25mins runtime unless you set the car up totally wrong.

I can't wait for mine to get together.

I think at first it would make sense to stick them in the same class as the nito's until there are enough around to run their own heats.

Name wise, 8eo (8th electric offroad) and add a wulf to the end just because you can so 8eowulf.

I'm with Doughty, 1/8th Electric Off Road is the only name i can see standing the test of time

[James]

It's just a bit of fun...!

'rallycross' as a term has been around for decades;
still sounds pretty neat to me . . . and to a beginner i'd hazard a guess..

[Nick Goodall]

Ok ok.... for a bit of fun then what about Non Nitro 1/8th
Smokeless RallyX
Leccycross
Electric RallyX
Electric Buggy Supercross/motocross
Extreme Electric Off Road
1/8th Ozone Friendly RallyX

What about R/C Buggy Racing (Make it the standard)....

Leccycross is awesome!

I like the way 8eo look but no one will ever know how to say it, other than that...
E-Buggy
E-Cross
quite like the electrocross....

Yep - lets get a BRCA section on the go for it...

Can you imagine a scouser saying it without spitting loooads? You're not a typical scouser Mark, you sound quite Posh compared to say the lad from the Zutons or Jamie Carragher for instance so you'd be fine saying it

[Belsten]

megacross
brilliancecross
or swizzlecross

[AndyF]

But do you think that by increasing the number of different classes/sizes etc the sport will suffer. Fewer people choosing to compete in the current classes. Divided we fall type of thing? Already RC is up against xbox and wii.

or

Does giving more choice encourage more people into the sport as they wil find the ideal class to take part in.
