my learning curve cost me 3x piston and liner sets at around $70 a peice.... But I now I'm very confident in tuning and diogoising, since I have had 2 other nitros for a few years that were still running when I sold them
So very very true outside setting gear mesh no skills really transfer from one to the other. They are similar, but very very different beasts like for instance electric motors you don't want going over 175 degrees F where nitro engines you need around 300 degrees F to run.
