Heated indoor racing in the winter = electric only. enough said.
I race indoor Nitro dirt oval in the winter sometimes.......Moody Auto .com Monee Ill.
I race dirt oval Nitro 1/8th scale latemodel durring the summer in two different classes. We have guys coming from different states all the time to race with us. There are always guys bringing Electric 1/8th scale latemodels to run with us. THEY LOOSE! Does not matter what they are running, they loose. We have tried to put them into there own class and the class always dies. They are allowed to run whatever motor/esc combo they want the only limit is 4s. Even our ''stock'' nitro latemodel class is to fast for them. When you compair the two using dirt oval rules, electric cant even compair. Just an FYI Dirt Oval style.
Hardly surprising if you are on a speed oriented circuit and you limit their rpm to a point that they can't compete. lol.
Think about it, the nitros turn what, 35k rpm? Plus in oval, a nitro is in its powerband the whole time, so electric's big torque advantage is lost. A 2000kv electric motor on 4S turns 2000*14.4=28,800. That's quite a deficit.
Let them run 5S and then tell me what happens.
