It's probably not wise for us to begin a ridicule of RC because the question was posed as to whether Nitro on road is dying.

The internal combustion engine is inherent in our society, we rely on it and for those that enjoy the dynamics of the "Spontaneous combustion" engine that humanity relies on, if the EP upset us too much we could always grab one of their ESC and turn it into an electronic ignition system and perhaps develop an EFI system.

Personally I dont think batteries and energy storage are the answer to our future. Spontaneous Electricty is more likely a way as with real life, we cant afford to get 5 minutes into a journey to work and then call the boss telling him we'll be 1 day late as we forgot to charge the car.

If this was a post to taunt an argument in amongst the IC community then I too agree the thread should be dropped. The nitro on-road forum has a subject it's rich with information from many drivers over many years and it's still going strong.
