I have both nitro and electric, and I personally like nitro 1/8 better. First of all, the class is booming. There is about 10 heats of nitro buggy and 1 heat of electric buggy at big races. Nitro really isnt all that much maintence, it takes an hour to get it in top condition after a race weekend. If you race, you dont have to 'lug around' your starter box or glow igniter, you just have it in the pits and your pit man starts it up and does everything else. I find nitro more rewarding too for some reason. I have never had a problem with tuning an engine or any other nitro related issues most beginner's face.
