You can spill the fuel we run on a hot engine or exhaust 99% of the time there is not a problem.

So you would let your child charge a Lip battery with out supervision?
The two videos I linked above seem to show a different story than you describe.....
Out of my own personal bias, I haven't looked into Nitro fuel very much. Is buggy fuel any different than that used in model airplanes? Last I knew, any fuels that would provide combustion in an engine, would also burn quite nicely given an alternative source of ignition.
Besides, I would rather teach battery safety than liquid fuels safety.
Besides again, I prefer to also teach current and future engineering science, than pretend the Model-T is still also the hottest thing going.
Its OK with me if you like your Nitro, its just not the fastest or most powerfull thing going anymore for RC vehicles.
