I have had to work closely with the EPA here in the US as well as the China governments' version of the same for most of my life. While there is a movement to regulate carbon emissions into the air and really ANY VOC (volatile organic compounds) , it will be a long time before items like our nitro motors are regulated out of production. All large two stroke engines will go first; and that actually has started in some places. You'll notice weed eaters,leaf blowers, dirt bikes, riding mowers, etc and similar items have started making 4 stroke versions; this will slowly continue. Our nitro fuel is made from mostly propane (nitromethane) and natural gas (Methanol) and oils (castor or synthetic). Our fuel is safer than gasoline, as far as the environment is concerned....so, I think we have more to fear from noise pollution, fewer new tracks, and fuel prices than we do being forced to electric. But, its all done in an effort to get the money generated by taxing the items which emit harmful compounds. These gov groups have to continue to put pressure on anything that has big emissions....which our hobby doesnt. We'll see the bigger emitters like the items I listed above go way before our little group of products are over regulated......I hope.....

i understand what your saying but, even if nitro fuel gets more expensive later on in the future i still think people will, pay extra inless its extremely expensive.

The smoke, the smell, the sound and all the aspects of setting up an engine and clutch can never be done by an electric car although I know they can smoke/smell real good.....
It is Aprils fool day and this joke is a bad one....

I don't really see myself going to race on the euro tracks so all I see Efra do here in the states is make quiet pipes.
Nitro can't go away it's too much fun. And beside where is the non green component that is over the top? Fuel fumes ok rubber in the dirt umm ya but most nitro tracks ar some of he clanest places with hundreds of people in one small Place I have seen. So what's the real issue??

No more nitro has been a ongoing topic for 2 years or more in Europe.
It will happen, there is no way around it.
Every club that failed around here was nitro based, struggeling club's are nitro...
When its race at the local track the cops come everytime... to loud...
Believe it, Nitro will be no more sooner then later.

na i dont think that will happen anytime soon, like frank L said the only thing that could change is, just quieter pipes. and alot of tracks, at least where i live at arent by a residental area.

I do understand that, i'm all electric but the thing with nitro is they are loud.
And that is apperently a key factor to many nitro guys.
if the tracks where in the middle of nowhere the whole discussion would not excist, but around here they are in populated areas and people dont like listening to screaming engines when they relax in their backyard...
So, either track need really good sound barriers or Nitro will be banned.

Electric does not excite me at all.
If nitro went away so would I from the hobby.
Its an April Fools joke anyways
