This is why TLR and Horizon are smart. Release the 3.0 nitro and as you can see they are making a ton of money from the guys who are converting them to electric. After they sell enough 3.0 nitros in the next six months you'll see a dedicated electric version. I think the biggest change to the electric will be no fly wheel hole in the chassis and moving everything back on the chassis similar to what they did to the SCTE 2.0. It's just smart marketing from Horizon. I have been curious though to see an under the hood shot of Adam Drake's 3.0e from the AMS 4.0 which he won. Right now I can't see buying the nitro and going through the trouble of selling or keeping nitro parts that I won't be using and paying another hundred dollars for the electric conversion. There will be a roller 3.0e sooner or later the market is getting bigger and bigger for e-buggies right now.
