Good to see I'm not the only one that thinks this way... A lot of times I hear from some people that they won't race electric for this reason or won't race nitro for that reason. I've been lucky enough to be able to run just about every rc car class except nitro touring car and 8th scale on road at one time throughout the last 16 years. Even though I'm just a average joe club racer every different car I've had the chance to pick up on has helped my 8th scale racing in some way.
