I dont see why a nitro crawler cant be as good as an eletric, just gear it way low and you will have plenty of toque, the only difference if that you acually have to tune and take care of a nitro motor where as you dont have to worry about an eletric. Also they wont over heat, like losi super truck said, the oil does alot of the cooling. Plus you can just strap a fan to a nitro motor, you eletric guys use fans on your motors anyway. as I see it both eletric and nitro trucks can be crawlers. I just like nitro cause of the realisim
