Give 1/5 scale gas a try - you'll be happy you did
Nice shelf queen you've got there... I'm pretty sure most people want to run their R/Cs, not look at them on a shelf...
Anyway, electric R/C is lame IMO. Dealing with chargers, batteries, extended charging periods, short runtimes, lack of noise and smoke, etc. With Nitro, I can bring a couple of receiver packs, a gallon of fuel, and a glow igniter out to a gravel pit in the middle of nowhere and run for hours uninterrupted. There's nothing like a screaming nitro engine billowing out smoke as you rip around climbing hills, flying over rough terrain, and hitting jumps at full speed.
So if you're bored with the Toys'R'Us electrics, give Nitro a try.
