Default RE: electric 1/8 scale??

Right now I'm all in the nitro thing because i love to race and the electric class(es) I used to race have died off. That and I'm having a hoot racing MT. But when it happens you can say you saw it here first. What i'm refering to is when MT and 8th buggy come to be dominated by electric. The motor technology already exists to build electric cars that are both quicker off the turns and faster on the top and it's just a matter of time before energy storage, (that would be batteries) reaches a point where big electrics can go 45 minutes to an hour. It's gonna be a sad day for nitro when that time comes. Of course when it does, the nitro diehards will demand a seperate class so they can keep on struggling with their stinky, messy race cars while the simple, clean, and noiseless electrics put down the best lap times.

I'm not a nitro hater by any means folks, I'm just telling you what's coming.
