And for the record, yes EP is I would say bigger than nitro right now, for ALOT of people it is not simpler. Ive seen people struggle with EP as they struggled with nitro.

Ive been in the hobby for a long time. Ive seen many classes started over the years due to new products, but regardless the standard classes remain to this day and will remain for years to come. Ntiro buggy is going nowhere. It may have gotten smaller, but popularity will increase. Its been the same cycle for years.
