i could not of said it beter myself...its not that it is faster or reliable durable or even more powerful, its the fact that it is nitro the smell of the fuel the sound of the engine( someone needs to bottle that as a perfume "ode to burned nitro" i know what my girl would getting.) one of the guys i run with has electric truck and it sure is fast i think he has a castle 3 turn and a couple of lipo's but when we run it seems like with the nitro's you have alot more run time he is always waiting for something to cool or charge. I say a car whispering across the grass at incredible speeds is not as impressive as a car that is screeming across the grass leaving a trail of smoke in its wake.
I also agree 100%
Also when I got into the hobby in '83 electrics were more of a hassle. I always did better with nitro (we called it "gas" back then). Nitro is not at all hard to keep running reliably. And I don't have any electrics. Just a Losi XXX-NT AD2 and I just got an HPI Baja B5 SS (now that's really gas).
