Default RE: why is nitro hated by some???


ORIGINAL: spog1

The most powerfull car is not always the fastest, traction equalls a quicker car then one that is spinning the wheels and breaking loose at the drop of a hat.
Wouldn't that mean that the electric vehicle would gain from a reduction in power, with additional gain from reduced weight?

its all about weight....nitro still has vastly superior power density.......... as well a high end nitro .21 is actually faster then the competition 4S BL systems...........has a slightly smoother bottom with a much better top end....Of course a high end competition nitro is vastly different then the RTR nitro's that most would see in the off the shelf kits.......the performance difference is like night and day
