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

I see your point Andy , but, with seemingly a lack of good 1/10th tracks, especially in the south then it looks very apealing to me

crazycross!
electrocross sounds lesbian!

EVO 8 as its an evolution of it?

E-limin8

E for electric the rest cos you're eliminating the noise and smellyness

[GRIFF55]

Nice, how about Altern-8, we could have some tunes to go with it too

There are more 1/8 tracks local to me than 1/10, and i think if it takes off people will move away from 1/10 maybe ?.

Rules - to be honest i think the only rules at the moment would be for length of heats and finals ?. Not on construction / amount of cells / motors as it is early days yet, and we would not want to stop anybody from running.

Once i have some more parts for mine i will post some photos its already being over run with carbon fibre

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

...or simply let it remain "1:8 OR". Why not run them together? It's the same car, it's just a different way of powering the vehicle. In the States they run them together right?

Just remove "I.C." (Internal Combustion) and "Ignition" and let people go green if they like!

Btw they should not be allowed on dedicated 1:10 tracks I think. The wear on the track from 1:8 cars is enormous compared to 1:10 vehicles.

P.S. CD, you're not producing enough BS on this forum!
