personally I like nitro...I like the sound...also I can buy a couple cheap hump packs and rechargable AA batteries and pretty much run all day...just havta add nitro once you have your batteries charged

reasons I dont care much for electric are, stock they can be fairly slow.. yeah you can go with brushless and out run a nitro, but the price of a good brushless setup (motor, esc and lipo packs) cost more then a good running nitro engine...I dont care for the noise of an electric (brushless or brushed)..
