Usual story with Yokomo in my experience too

Far superior quality comes from:
Xray (expensive)
Corally (expensive)
Associated (affordable)
Losi (affordable)
Schumacher (affordable)
...and some of the lesser known makes (but very high quality - but usually expensive)

Status: offline 		Yes, but since it's a nitro car, you'll have to maintain it a lot more strictly than an electric. I wouldn't recommend nitros for beginners.

Status: offline 		The main reason nitro isn't for beginners is the fact that you have to brake to slow down whereas an electric motor slows a car down when the throttle is cut (back EMF/induced current etc.)

Electrics are charge and run, nitros can be a pain in the arse if you can't set one up and you can spend all day just trying to get the damn engine running

Status: offline 		Yup. It's not even really electric start. The Roto-Start system still mechanically starts the engine. And it sucks. A pull start would be better.

Status: offline 		what do you mean turning the engine over? like turning it from roto start to pull start? or just using a pull start in general?
