I agree Battery technology Is getting better and electrics are geting very fast. But If you got the dough to spend on a crazy brushles setup and lipos and charger then you must have the coin for a nice NOVAROSSI RX21R1WCS-2008 Long Stroke Kangaroo for a onroad car or a 35plus21LC/WC CORDOBA for a off road buggy, These Nitro motors would send the electrics back to the pits real fast. I think both electrics and nitro have there advantages and and disadvantages. But when it comes down to it they are both fun to drive.
