RE: New here
In the end all I see is a bunch of internet BS about how electric dominates in racing, some of you guys make it sound like nitro has no business being on a track.............
However in the end we are not seeing this on the race tracks........ electric 1/8th is not dominating on the track... they are not pulling any faster lap times, and in fact on average are showing slower overall laptimes..... And not only are they usually showing slower lap times they are also showing more non starts and DNF's then the comparable nitro classes............... If BL was as superior on the track as you internet cowboys are saying , then the real world results on the tracks would reflect this as well...but its not, not even close...out on the tracks the laptimes are nearly identical....and in fact on a overall average the results show the nitros have the advantage for the fastest laps............
Just to be clear here, I own a hobby store, and a top notch race facility , in 2011 we hosted the RC Pro Canadian Nationals.....locally I sell more brushless gear then I do nitro gear.....I make money on both nitro and electric, and have a healthy turnout of both platforms at my track..........Right now nitro show zero disadvantage in terms of reliability and lap times, and in fact nitro shows to be more reliable with faster laps ( this is taken off actual race results, )
