i have researched both of thes vechicles and i know what they can do. but the one thing i cant find is which one has better handling this is my price range $200-300. please comment it would really help. also i choose not to go electric because i hear it cost alot for batteries and very short run times. if you think electric would be good please recommend a good car. thanks remember fast about 35 to 50 but with a good amount of handling(turnng).
Electrics cost less then nitros in the long run (im gonna hear 20 replies telling me its not) but it is. Batterys are only 20 bux at most, and they get the same run time as nitro.
I'd get the new Rustler XL5, 35mph out of the box and its electric. If its your first car, go electric untill you get familiar with the hobby.
Well here's one reply!
What pack do you run that cost $20? A cheap 1500mah is around $20.
I say, if its your first RC you may want to go electric first because the fustrations are less with electric and you will be a little used to it when you make the transistion to nitro. If you want nitro I suggest the HPI by far.
