That's pretty unfair if they don't let you race with the nitro's, especially if your just going to race for fun and not for points...maybe there scared of electric.:027:
I don't see any harm in an electric car racing against nitro.
Luckily my track is only electric, and the reason they don't let nitro cars race is because it's too noisy. Since we race outdoors on Friday nights (can finish around 11 pm) near houses there would be lots of complaints about the noise.
A lot of people are interested in the E-maxx's at our track, but not that many buy them, because there scared off by the price off the brushless ones. And you can't just buy one, take it out of the box and race competively like nitro. You have too build it from individual parts, which take alot of time and money.
Like jhautz said, once someone builds an out of the box brushless truck that compares to nitro in both cost and peformance, then I think electric will become a lot more popular.

Dam I didn't see starscream's reply.
