Hi John, Do they combine electric with nitro all the time?

thanks for the update although I was watching things on facebook.....

Hey Rob, R/C U is conducting an experiment with running elec. power and nitro together. So the short answer is yes. This is season 2 of 3. We have implemented some restrictions on them to make them compairable in speeds to nitro. Such as Battery and prop size etc. The ammendments can be found on our website in the info section as a pdf file.

As electric power in the NW becomes more popular the hope is to spin off to there own class like the rest of the FE 1/8 scales around the country and run with R/C U like we are doing with the Gas Scale Hydro's.
