I think that most tracks never had an electric class like yours.... except briefly when the emaxx hit the scene. Most tracks are dominated by the truggies... with the "stock" monster truck class being the little brother... mostly revos and a few leftover modded tmaxxes.

At the tracks I have been to the emaxx racing died out 3-4 years ago. I see an emaxx in the mt class on a rare occasion. But for me, I have been the lone ranger wheever I show up.

I guess consider yourself lucky ot have had a good class of e-trucks all this time. I know there are pockets of e-truck racers, but it's not the norm.

Edit: I see in the latest RCCA they highlight an indoor track in MI that even has an electric 1/8 buggy class. That's pretty cool. I have heard some guys at my track who would like to see that after watching my car... some have said they would do it if there was enough support... and the technology finally catches up (Monster Max....)
