I've had both, prefer electric.
I converted my Savage X SS to electric because it was too slow as a nitro. THe conversion cost less than a new nitro motor and it went twice as fast and had three times the balls.
Either way, they are both good in their own little ways. What ever makes ya happy, get that.
Details?
So you built a 3+HP brushless setup for $100? That's how much a suitable nitro engine would cost that could even be described as be only half as fast and 1/3 as peppy as any brushless MT Ive seen.
Also, what average 19t motor on average (NiMH) batteries is faster than its nitro counterpart?
Uhm show me a good nitro MT motor for 100 bucks, my cousin could use one. A checkpoint 19 turn with a 7 cell will go about 35 mph with a 10 turn you'll reach 40.
1) My GF's 77 dollar nitro .21 engine will easily do 40 in her 1/8 buggy. The same company makes a .27 that is $83 that should push around a Savage pretty well.
My Rustler with the old Pro .15 would do about 40MPH out of the box.
my nitro sport with the pro.15 did 40 too but the tottal came to 330 CAD plus fuel plus after run oil plus battery pack and charger for EZ start. I couldve built a nice brushless car.
