Hmmm, I'll give it a "maybe". I'm one of about 4 guys that has one in the area. No racing class yet. Cause most of us just consider it a "distraction" something to do, but not take serious in the racing sense as we focus on our 8th scales...

Part of me says, "no" it won't take off, because;
1) They are pretty pricey when you get one all set-up. By the time you are done, you could have bought an 8th scale RC....
2) Too many classes already - Most of the racers I know would like to run two classes, truggy/buggy, truggy/10th scale nitro, etc...Its already hard trying to run two classes at the club level let alone a third. Most guys I know won't even run two classes at the club level as there isn't enough time...

The part of my that says yes...
1) Easier to drive than 10th scale stadium trucks
2) Less expensive engines.
3) "Normal" sized parts, nothing micro-sized

I guess in the end I see it as being a novelty......
