Yes nitro has more stuff them an electric car... you can almost take out all the Key components in one big glob of wiring..lol
Servo,ESC,battery,motor
Where as nitro has FAR more then that..lol

But are no more complex then a E-car(i think)[X(]

i`ve owned both so...yea.lol

i like the nitro`s for the ease of fuel,start,warm,tune,refuel Go some more...yes quite a bit can fail on them but thats very seldom..
and electrics are nice for the simple fact of charge and go..and they are a little more versicle, like say its raining and you want to run your car, pop a battery in and run it around the house..

but a nitro you can`t really run in that much...like below 32 is a NO-no, lots of rain(pouring) is a no-no(for me) and desert use where it can get up over 100 in the shade that can really screw with the way it runs(but that would even screw with a electric motor)


just to make it shorter:
if your good with 2-strokes, like burning nitro, and paying $20+ per gallon of fuel get nitro
if you know your electronics,and like speed go electric
