Mostly noobs give these nitros a bad name. Take the most advanced, hopped up ace of a car...make it an RTR and it'll be crap by morning. They buy and RTR and don't break it in and bash the crap out of it. Then they complain because it won't run right and breaks. Anyone familiar with nitro knows they are not as easy as electrics. I honsetly think the down time required for nitros is worth it. Noobs don't want down time. They want to fill it and run it.
