Yes - Definitely they would be the most enjoyable EP onroad vehicles to race.
I have just started racing 1/8 EP offroad and am finding it alot more enjoyable than 1/10 EP offroad, just for the fact that the car feels more docile/ less twitchy and that the track is bigger which gives me more time to relax and process.
If I was 16 yrs old and had extreme reflexes it all wouldnt matter but anyway.
We dont have a race class for 1/8 onroad here in brisbane, so at the moment for me - it would also just be a purchase of interest.
Our largest onroad track here in Brisbane [brendale] is about to be reborn so it might be really nice to run a 977e around there.
We all know that those NITRO guys can be pretty one eyed when it comes to racing so I am not sure too many would enjoy being challenged by their more refined EP 1/8 cousins...

These things are absolute WEAPONS! A few videos here:

These cars would easily hold their own against the nitro versions, so I am sure if you rocked up with one to race on any given club day, you will race!
