I am looking for some advice from anyone who races. I am going to get into RC Touring Cars, but I am having a hard time deciding which to plunk down the hard earned dollars for: Nitro or Electric. I am really interested in racing, not much else. I won't be doing much parking lot type stuff unless it is to practice racing. I am lucky enough to have 2 busy tracks near me both outdoors. What I want to know is which type of car should I start out with? I am looking at several brands, but mostly the HPI stuff. By the time it is all said and done there isn't a huge price difference between the two types so which is better and why? I have been into RC planes for a while so I have some gear that will transfer like a good charger and associated tools. Thanks for any help!
