nitro cars require more batteries and chargers than electric cars, so keep those idiot comments outta here

nitro's downfall has finally come, that thing blew em all away.

[bratonabike]

er yea... then u hav to cool down the engine and make sure theres no gunk or shit in it ect. so really electrics are much better to maintain

I don't compete but I've been running brushless for years now. My main putter has a 10A lipo tethered to a Kontronik Twist. I still can't get used to the run times :p

@indyone18th lol my NITRO 1/8 redcat hurricane could wipe the florr with yr twitchy electric

@Drivinfast247 dude i used to be all for brushless, like u say ther easyeir to use no tuning less looking after and in some cases faster, however since i got my first nitro tht all changed for the tuning and looking after is half the fun, and i just dont get the same buzz from using my brushless than wen im using my nitro, its also a pain having to have atleast four batterys to have a just a couple of hours out, wen with a nitro you just top up the fuel and yr off again.

[Drivinfast247]

@nitrodougietek not really. The electric is faster, quicker, and easier to maintain.

[nitrodougietek]

man losi 8ight nitro version is so much more fun is faster to

[ShawnoftheDead420]

i respect the power off electrics, but prefer nitro because i LOVE tuniing engines. when it comes to bashing however, i always choose electrics for convenience. ill be a nitro nut till the day i die though.
