I think nitro is more fun because it is more like real cars (as in they actually have an engine), and i like the revving 2 stroke sound. Also, if you want to run all day you can, whereas electrics must be charged (and my GP3300's took about an hour each charge). They are both cool, but if you want a really high performance car, go with nitro unless you have the capability to spend lots of $. Electrics can be just as fast or even faster, but it requires much more cash than a nitro would. I just prefer nitro.
