My sig is an obviously ironic bulwark (to anyone familiar with all these stupid discussions..) against the incessant anti-nitro blabber which inevitably gets spewed by the likes of you two.. That's all.
I have an electric now, like it, and am looking to get another one. THAT though, is off topic!! Ha..
And Foxy, pa-lease -again.. YOU are the one tooting your own (supposed
) intellectual superiority, on the basis of brushless power being an objective ''metric'' as to why your toy cars are better than nitro toy cars!!.. Sorry - not a personal attack - but that is seriously dumber than some newb troll dropping in and saying his Integy-ied up T-MAXX will blow all our toy cars away...
Dude, you're just way too serious. Chill.
Then offer me a real argument against something I actually said (nitro is not dying, I agree with you on that, have done since the first page, k?) instead of something that I retracted or you made up all on your own, and we can talk some more. I have literally nothing to say to the above post, I don't even know what you're getting at anymore. Between nitro haters and electric haters on this forum, you are the king of them. You are the electric hater extreme, every one of your posts is lined with venom for electric. I know you went electric, I know you like it, I know you still prefer nitro, what does all this have to do with anything? I completely agree nitro is great, will be around as long as any combustion engine. So far you seem to be saying...
I'm a nitro hater - I'm not.
I think nitro is dying - I do not.
That everyone should run electric - I do not.
I completely agree with you if you say...
Nitro has a place in the hobby, it's noisy and smelly and damn cool, everyone should try it, and nobody should ever be berated for preferring it.
But then I go on to say...
Nitro is seeing a decline in the percentage split of hobbyists, due to the brushless revolution.
Many nitro people have switched to brushless.
Brushless is more powerful as an RC car powerplant.
Whether or not you agree that that last item causes electric to be superior is neither here nor there. As I say, pick another metric that's relevant to the powerplants of RC cars...
Efficiency
Range (there you go, there's a potentially arguable winner for you)
Acceleration
Top speed
Power to weight ratio
I believe that these factors caused by the brushless revolution in the last 5 or so years, have settled the 'nitro vs electric - which is better' debate, where it could not be solved in prior years, it can now. Electric is measurably better in the ways that count, but that should never deter anyone from experiencing nitro, as it's totally different and also rewarding.
