I have always been skeptical of owning a nitro RC. I've been told of how unreliable and bad they can be. I myself own an electric stampede and find that I break alot of the parts on it. From personal experience my next door neighbour owns a nitro RC and doesn't use it anymore because of it's reliability issues. Are there really that many things that can go wrong with a nitro? My favourite nitro's are the Revo and Jato. I understand that most Nitro's are complex because they require nitro and electric components Like: servos, batteries for the transmitter, breaks, fuel tank, engine and gear shifter (in the case of both the Jato and Revo). It is true that nitro cars have more components that e-cars. What do you think?

The things I like about Nitro is how you can easily refill and keep running and how they have more torque and generally faster speeds
The things I dont like about Nitro is how they require many more components and even still require a battery.
