Ive done both nitros and brushless. when the choice was between nitro and brushed, nitro one for power and speed. but brushless gives you the same with less work. sure, it doesn't sound as cool, but ill take 25 minute runtimes and 45+mph speeds on a 2wd brushless over a nitro any day.
Ive owned the redcat epx pro models, which I like a lot. you think the s30 is fast, run a tornado epx pro on 3s!
Ive also had a tornado epx pro with a traxxas vxl system in it:

Oh nice! I've actually watched the video while
lurking for the past 2 months. That is scary fast. I love the thought of electric plug and play with no maintenance. Just got a hitec x1 and charged it in 110 minutes on 2 amps as opposed to an 8 hour charge. Yeah I will be getting lipos soon and I'll post some videos if the two. Love your video btw. So fast!
