a couple points. #1 a 6s 3700mah on a 1500ish kv motor is similar to a 2200kv on 4s but will outlast a tank of nitro. #2 a gallon of nitro is around $35 you can get 1 lipo (gens ace or HK) for that price and get (if lucky) 300 runs off it
I get a gallon of fun for $30 after tax
byrons race at that!
a gallon lasts me half a year, so $60 a year isn't to bad.
then a 300 cycle lipo would last you well into your next life
ha! no, I just know how to make fuel last, both engines i have are efficient and i can tune them very well, not only that but being smart on the throttle saves TONS of fuel, its just like driving a real car.
I also alternate fuel sources, some days I run my nitro buggy/truck some days i run my BL on-road.
I hear you man, Im 40 now started playing with this stuff around 10yrs old in London with nimh, Went to nitro for speed as I grew and turned to gas for more speed then went to brushless. I have 4 1/8 running MMM with a variety of Neu and castle motors. 2 1/5th 28cc bergonzoni onroards a compagnucci gas onroad and a kyosho rally nitro. A few tc4 1/10th for fun. Ordered a tamiya porsche too this week just because it was shiney on ebay. I just burn the amps, gas or nitro until I get a blister on my throttle finger
