1/8 on-road electro: it is the international class? I can not find a rule of race and technical requirements. If who has the information, share, please.

As most classes start as an experiment and eventually grow in popularity until enough enthusiasm surrounds a given scale or design thus evolving into a validated class.
It's really all about popularity. If enough people find the class enjoyable, more will join the competition.
Let's hope that the manufacturers continue to see growth in the electric 1/8th scale segment and someday it will be an official class.

1/8 electric on-road is not an official class. (yet)

I think buying a Serpent 960, mounting the brushless system and run like 8 cells or 3 cells LIPO would be very simple to convert (for those that have the tools and skill)...however, I think the car will be extremely heavy for electric motor....
A better solution should be convert 1 of the CRC 1/10th or AE 1/10th...and make it wider and longer to fit into 1/8th scale Lola body......and some special wheel mount to fit those 1/8th foam tires and run it RWD(2WD)...
Most of the 1/8th track are prepped and traction should be high......and with the technology of brushless and LI-PO....I think it will be FASTER or at least par with the current 1/8th gas car....probably can run 10-15 minutes per pack too...

There is an awesome track here in Kissimmee, I would love to debut an 1/8 scale electric on road pan car.
Check this out.

This is my edam razor... I was working on it a few months ago, but seems here (in spain) people is not excited enough with this, i canŽt understand it. I had a (burn) problem with my rx8 so iŽll try the mmm. It seems that the tekin doesnŽt works fine with 6s (almost mine)... IŽd like to see another "central" 6s designs for 1/8 scale...
Regards!

Hi george, how long!! Hope you are well. When you try one of this youŽll be excited. They are crazy fast. As fast as 1/8 nitro but more agressive (if you want) with acceleration and more agile cornering out...

I'll bet they are fast! Would love to build one but the only tracks within a hundred miles of where I live are only big enough for 1/10 scale cars.
Anyway, good to hear from ya. I'm still banging away with the 1/10 scale 17.5 TC class. Lots of fun and close racing.
Here's a pic of my latest ride.

Not yet but I am toying around with the idea of integrating a gear diff instead of the traditional "ball diff" due to the increased power and loading of a bigger car. I'm looking for something off the shelf that can be modified or is generic enough to attach whatever drive system to it. (belt/gear/shaft)
Has anybody tried a pod style pan car with a suspended front end?
Just curious...
