i did 2 years of that with the same cars b4 bj4 and same motors cells etc etc for a club racer/ the odd national when there was room close to home electric was spot on i race on road now but still get the same reliability and i finish 99% of my runs where as with nitro is was about 50%.

i will also add i never had cars fall apart it was always engine or throtal and brake servo

so if electric was aloud to race rally x meetings i for 1 would be looking at coming back to 1/8th
In Belgium I can race club races and the Belgian Open Trophy. I just pick races where mains are 15 minutes max.
I don't think we should try to get allowed in nitro meetings but rather create a new category of our own. Nitro want to run long, we want to run fast .
I would say 15 minutes main are really great!
