Yup. The basic rule I follow is that when things don't make sense, follow the money.

The people that love nitro can have it. There's a guy here at work who's all WOOOHOOO about nitro. I told him "dude, I have a RC10GT with a Picco .26 in it and I don't drive it because it's SLOW in comparison to my electric rigs." That resulted in a from him. Ahaha.

With all the advances in battery tech, ESCs and motors I can't see anything but more and more electric 1/8ths coming on. When I did my Hyper 7 conversion on BYT, I was the only one. Now, I can't even count how many there are, and I've never heard anyone who did a BL buggy conversion say "oh man, my BL buggy SUCKS, I'm going back to nitro!" Nope, and in fact, just about everyone who builds one has another project one going soon after they finish the first one.

Greg can stick to his Nitro, but he'll be racing from the rear of the pack.
