I think Nitro is still and always will be for the pyromaniacs at heart and there are a LOT of us!! It's gotta make lots of NOISE and SMOKE to enjoy!
This will also be the reason for the resurgence in Nitro eventually, I mean what the heck is going on with Modified Electric Touring Cars doing 71mph down the back straight of my local track? that is just absolute insanity.. People will always go mental for speed, but I think as "stock" gets faster more people will realise Nitro is more controllable, realistic.
The PRO-10 Electric on-road class died because of it's stupidly high corner speeds and also it's tendency to flip over because of it's lightweight and high speeds.
Silly speeds will detract from the hobby in general eventually.
