Ugh, an electric focused outdoor race scene must suck

Nitro is where it's at. In my opinion 1/8 scale should be all about nitro, while 1/10 should be the electrics.

On another note, this kit looks pretty cool! IMO a solid alternative to a Kyosho if you can't face dropping the few extra $ for the TKI3. Very similar design characteristics with some smart design decisions. Especially the sealed dif cases etc. Looks like a good all-around performer too.
