I'm a nitro guy myself. But the .12/.15 engines don't really have the ''noise''. If I'm gonna deal with the maintenance and tinkering involved with nitro, I want to see some performance out of it
And nothing performs like an 1/8 buggy or truggy. On the track anyway...
For bashing, electric is the way to go; instant gratification
Plus you can run it in front of the house without annoying the neighbors...
Oh soooo true, plus I saw you mentioned durability, a 1/8 nitro is 10 times tougher than a nitro ST to be honest, I ran STs for a while, and after getting a buggy and a truggy, the difference in durability is like night and day. after any small mishaps say a bad landing or cartwheel with my 1/10 vehicles I would have to replace this or that, or have this rod bent, or that part busted... take a 1/8 in those same scenarios and well as long as they aren't upside down they will generally keep on going as the rods are 3x thicker and not going to bend, etc... you have to really smack into something hard to break the 1/8ths is what I am basically getting at... wheras in a 1/10th ST the same sort of collision would leave you with a pile of parts...
