I still keep a couple of Traxxas nitro's around.. T-maxx and Nitro 4-tec. They run OS motors and are easy to deal with.. brushless is definately easier, but it has its own issues.. Lipo's are not the easiest batteries to deal with and the electronics can be flaky at times.. I still love the sound of nitro and will always have them... Not crazy about the sounds of electric brushless.. Reminds me of the dentist drill.. My Rustler sounds scary when its going flat out..
