Easiest way is If raced against nitro in a 20 min final mandatory stop and go pit stop would have to be implemented on the electric cars if they could run for the full 20 mins ( which is what will be done at NRX). I can get 10 mins out of a tank so 1 pit stop in a 20 min final is all thats needed then its a level playing field. I dont see them as a threat at all as it will bring elecric racers to 1/8th scale as there is no way they could be ran indoors at school halls etc so the permanent tracks would benefit from the extra income.
All electric 1/8th are welcome at NRX.
