a brushless buggy well never be lighter then a nitro car. my rc8 weighs about 8 pounds. and i drive with a few other guys that have rc8's that are nitro and they weight in at about low 7pounds.

All the buggys i have seen become heavyer when they become brushless. the battery is not as light as you guys think it is lol

but then again we do have stupid amounts of power. but at my track all the nitro guys can keep with me on the straight away but when it comes to the infield i have the advantage cause i have that instant power when ever i need it.

I think that in club racing it should not matter. but in a pro level it should be 2 classes. i think thats why they have 2 classes for pro level.
