Dead indeed!! Noone wants to run them anymore along with gas truck !
Pretty much the only 1/10th scale class left hanging by a thread is Mod Truck.

Its funny to see 10th scale electric guys scared to run with 1/8th buggies. I am a born 10th scale electric guy and I have no problem running with them. They are usually faster so when one is behind me I run as fast as I can until they get dangerously close, then I let them by if its inevitable.

Evans and Chambers are probably practicing with their new 22's instead of net chatting, I know I would be

I don't think anybody was scared of the 1/8ths, it is more the tracks of recent years that featured huge superman jumps that are 1/10th buggy killers that killed things off.

I agree with on the jump thing, tracks around here are starting to get it, Electric just this year trump t the gas class in size, so tracks are changing suit. But on a regular basis I have drivers come up to me and go "man your brave to drive that little buggy with those 1/8th scale during practice". most tracks at bigger events over here have a time for electric only practice.

I used to love practicing with my 2wd buggy and lapping the truggies. Just something funny about that. LOL

It's just the opposite in my area 1/10 2wd is big and with this new Losi it will only get bigger .

Ever see half of the 8 scale guys drive ? that's why.... it's the hacky 8 scale drivers.

Seems like 10th buggy and truck are running strong here in the NW, both mod and stock. So strong, in fact, that there is a successful electric-only winter series that runs across 5 tracks with excellent turnouts. It's 4wd and 8e that have small pockets that come and go...mostly because of track sizes and costs I think.

Lots of beginners go right into 8th because they're generally bulletproof and potentially fast...lol. Only a few tracks are big enough to host 8E around here. Sadly, it's not popular locally and neither is the Losi brand. They kinda lost their shine after Horizon got a hold of em. No innovation and no real reason to run them or stock parts. It'll take years for them to earn respect on our regional indoor electric tracks. From what I can tell AE and Kyosho rule the NW at the moment. I'd love to grab a TLR22 but I won't have any parts or setup support. Not a fan of being on my own with 300.00 in parts in my toolbox.

That and dodging short course trucks can't help .

In 2011, Obama says you will have to pass a test to get a license at the DMV and show proof of insurance to drive a 1/8 scale.

Thats seems true. They just run over the 1/10th guys. I've seen 1/8 launch off jumps and land on 1/10 buggies...ugly.

If nothing else it’s great practice on developing your peripheral vision awareness.

Exactly what I was thinking, certainly not saying I can pull it off very often, but it sure is priceless when I do!

I’ve seen one of our uber fast guys pass 1/8s in practice, then spin donuts in front of them before blasting off into the distance. Hilarious.

It will be a happy day when 10th electric once again is the most popular class in Florida, and sends the 8th scale hacks "hacking off into the sunset." I don't see how this awesome new buggy cant help that to happen.
