I would not be knocking nitro, I have had electrics, and got now I only have nitro. After replacing brushes all the time, servicing the motors, charging batteries, and buying extra batteries I had more into it than a nitro truck.

Its all in what the buyer prefers. Personally, I like nitro better, power from start to finish, no dumping as you drive. Doesnt need much maintenence, sounds great, if you do not know what your doing on tuning you can struggle a bit, but thats what were here for and you local hobby shop.
