Default RE: The Evader Coalition ~ T.E.C. Part 2.

they are just as good, if not better, than their electric counterparts in most cases. the only reason electric is more popular is because it's easier. you have never truely experienced the hobby until you have driven a nitro. whether you like it or not is personal preference but there is nothing like it. sure, electric holds the 2 main speed records (outright fastest and fastest production) but nitro held the fastest production record until the xo1 and technically, still does (out of the box it only does 55 or 60, you need an apple device to get the other 40-odd mph). that nitro does 95mph, so it is barely even beat. plus, how often will you even pass 50? a speed nitros do handily. i keep debating whether my next will be nitro or electric. word of advise, get new, buying a used nitro as a first is a bad idea. if you dont want to deal with a pull starter, you can always get a bump box.
