1/10th scale is dieing off anyways. They'll all be in E buggy soon enough. There's a few 1/10th style indoor tracks left that cater to only the 1/10th guys. I don't go there because they run weird wet pottery clay and slick tires. It's weird that they just don't give up and roll out some carpet and switch to 1/12th scale onroad?
But most tracks seem to be focused on 1/8th E buggy and 4x4 SCT.
Nitro is dieing off as well. It only exists as a hardcore trophy race now. Being that it's a worldwide class, and all the racers at that level have no problems with nitro tuning, it kinda makes more sense. If you CAN run nitro and longer mains, why wouldn't you???
Hardcore racing needs real engines and pit strategy IMO. Club racers leave the nitros at home now and run E buggy. I have more fun in 1/5th gasoline SCT anyways. I think that Ebuggy will rule club days, and nitro buggy will rule large events. I'm ok with that. Might actually be best for RC racing in general.
