Status: offline 		I am bran new at this stuff. every one keeps telling me to go electric for the first one but what is like the diff in them besides the engines i mean like performance wise. will the electric one go just as fast or what. and if the gas one does faster like how much faster does it go. and i am talking about all stock stuff. lets say its the same car/truck just one is electric and one is nitro.

Status: offline 		It sounds like you already know what you want! If you go Nitro for the first, make sure that you have the support of a Local Hobby Shop (LHS). They can be a great help in teaching you how to tune the engine. Make shure they will do this up front, but do not expect any free help from them unless you got it from them.

As for performance? They can be made to go the same speeds, but the Nitro has a longer run-time, and you don't have to buy multiple battery packs. A stock electric RC truck, with a stock motor, should go slower than a Nitro truck, but there are many factors that come into play. There may not be a right answer to this one.
