I just jumped into 1/5 scale and all the guys were either former nitro or electric guys. They all say that they will never go back once you go gas, and that since they bought their first gas they has sold all their nitro's. YES the initial shock of buying a 1200 truck is a kick in the nutz BUT i hear they run far better then nitro's, no tuning problems with temperature change, 45 minute run times instead of 8-10 minutes, no more 10 dollar + bottles of nitro fuel, just a gallon of gas and a quart of 2 cycle oil and your ready to go for hours and hours of fun!. Plus their BIG, tough, and JUST as fast as most nitros. No more glow plug or glow ignitors or roto start, just one or two pulls and BAm they start right up. I just bought a FG monster truck, so once it gets here i can see for myself but the overall word is that their better then nitro but most people don't want to buy a 1200+ truck ya know and thats what scares people away. I'm sure i won't sell all my nitros because thier just different but then again maybe i will, we shall see?! I'm excited to see how well they perform!

I overall really like nitro, sometimes thier a pain in the butt but their alot of fun, then again electrics are the same. I'll soon have the best of all three worlds to choose from!
