Nitro racing is the only thing alive in minnesota... electric racing has died out... except for the kiddies at the TCHR track... nothing but evaders. Whats coming up for nitro? the fact that we are spreading a 12s ability OVER 1.5 hp!!! We are able to run over 8 gallons now... and we can run 1 hr long mains while keeping a constant temp! Electric motors overheat after about 15 minutes.... and a modified hardly lasts longer than 8 before kids draw smoke here. Yeah Lipo... big deal... make a motor that can go the distance... a stocker almost can! But even he overheats. It will be a while before electric comes back... if it ever does.

How about starting with an open 1/10th off road class? Any truck, buggy, nitro or electric... an ss5800 will keep up with nitro...
Not always true... I dominate the T3 trucks that have the Novak systems. in fact, after about 3 laps they fall off the pace very very quickly.
