Well, club racing concerns aside- No matter how/why/when it fails you can't run it when it does. I don't think what put you off was the way the MMM failed, only that it failed repeatedly. If 1/8 electric is going to continue to evolve then clubs are going to have to realize that there is always the potential for fires when dealing with this much power. Powerful systems can have powerful failures. I can understand safety being a huge concern. The clubs in question should invest a few dollars in some extra fire extinguishers, instead of banning the 1/8 classes, if they're that concerned. IMO they should be there anyways...and the clubs will lose lots of business.
