RE: What are some must have rc's.
I have six nitros, and just bought my first electric, and electric is anything but cheap...
Nitro has a learning curve - learning how to tune and all - but costs are not significantly different.. Fuel is expensive unfortunately; that's true. But who runs more than 8-10 gallons a year on one RC?(some I know, but not many..)
I really can't believe what people pay to convert their nitros to electric.. Just read on another forum what a guy paid to convert his LST2 - $900... - to convert.. And still he had a used truck...
Losi 454's can be had for 100 bucks on ebay, and are great bashing engines... The trick with nitro is to buy the right stuff. But that's the case with all of RC, right?...
You're also been misled if you assume you have to "fumble" with nitro. It's not rocket science.
