Man I've never agreed more with almost every thing above. I think there is a fix to the problem for the most part. Traxxas builds an E Revo with brushed motors RTR and maybe just a roller. And then when CC comes out with the MMM system it would be a no brainer.

I don't think a factory brushless truck would help much due to the high initial cost. But I think people would buy an electric race type truck with the plans of switching it to BL in the future. I could be wrong(it would be the first time). LOL And with the popularity(at least around my area) of the MM the MMM would have a good reputation of being the right choice.

As pointed out already, When I showed up with my G2R at the track people were in awe(and that was with the Novak HV6.5/4800 orions). We Have both an dirt Oval and offroad track and the Oval is a big hit. First time out I broke the MT/truggy class record and came within a few seconds of breaking the overall track record. I even tell them that this system is just the beginning of what is possible. Several people wanted one of there own but as this next outdoor season comes around there is no talk of anybody at our track endeavoring to build one.

I agree, even after passing the 3.3 Revo guy like it was running out of fuel they just seem to ignore it. For instance one die hard Nitro guy I race with says that electric motors are just not supposed to be in MT's. He says that the song goes: "The engine in the bus makes the wheels go round not the electric motor".

I also am a loner at the track running with the nitros but so far they let me run, but at a big "Nitro trophy race" they organized, the powers at be didn't want me to run. So I didn't press the issue so as to not make enemies. When I showed up to pit for my nephew I had several people ask m,e why I wasn't running.

Now I'm gonna show up with an 1/8 buggy and as far as I know I will be the only one. And yes I'm gonna try to get a bunch of RC-Monster decals on her. I think for the most part Sylvester is right that it comes down to people being lazy. We just want to plug the PS3 in and sit on the couch. Later, Stephen.
