to get as many people into 1/8 electric racing the class should allow as low investment as possible. I know many people who would like to try it but are afraid of the quite high initial investment not realizing that in long term nitro is much more expensive.

Dont know how is the situation in the UK but I know most of the 1/8 scale electric racrs in the country and was involved in their car builds at least as advisor . Still not many people and several racers plan to try 1/8 nitro buggy just to get enough track time next year.
