Yeah that's true. Nitro fuel and glow plugs are something your going to always be buying. The more you run the more it's going to cost. Plus you'll have those time where you will need to buy spare parts as well. With electrics, you get the car/truck/buggy and batteries and your pretty much done. That's why I got out of Nitro for a while and got into 1/18 cars/trucks. Even the spare parts were a lot less. Hahaha But if your good and you dont over do it and push your nitro to limits you know can't be reached The cost wont be that bad. Just drive smart and you'll be fine. Nitro is a lot of fun. That's why I just bought another buggy. I've missed the blue smoke and sound hahaha
