I only have one nitro car as of now, because I have to be able to afford my planes and helis too. Some people say Duratrax is trash, but I like the Raze that they have. It runs great and I'm not a fan of electric starts anyways.

And from an LHS employee's perspective, the Traxxas "EZ" start system sucks. So many people bring those things in because their easy start broke. I always recomend switching to a pull start or shaft start, it's so much easier than having a motor inside of the car. And those glow plug wires burn up like crazy.

I like pull starts because you can moniter your engine better and you can easily tell if it's flooded or binding somewhere. And it's just as easy to start IMHO as pushing a button.
