i've been racing nitro for a while now and i know what i'am doing when it comes to nitro drifting and engine tuning(becuase i modify my own motors) but if your new to r/c cars and nitro motors in genral i suggest going with an electric car unless you live real close by someone that could help you with tuning your engine. it's real tricky. getting nitro 2 drift but if you know what you are doing and you got the rigth motor it's all trail and error from then on
