Well, there's a certain excitement that goes with nitro. At the place I run one guy has a mamba-powered Mini-T. It's really really fast, but it draws very little attention.
A friend of mine has a Sportwerks Chaos Nitro 1/16th and that thing draws a crowd, and it only does 20MPH. There's something about the noise/smoke/realism with the nitro.
In Florida I watched a show called Lights, Camera, Action and it featured a full-sized radio controlled car with a 1300cc motorcycle engine. That thing SCREAMED. Now, why not do an electric system with tons of torque
and better acceleration? REALISM, that's why.
Electric is cool, but it's not for everyone.
I watched the lights cameras aciton show (I go to disney about 2 times a year
) And the car was not R/C they showed the driver hanging off the side.lol
But I think Mini Nitros are cool because its sucks less nitro and its tiny.lol
I have a Mamba powered Mini-LST and its a rocket but no one ever noticed it, But when I got my Revo 3.3 everyone was outside watching it.
