well Jeremy Nitro does have one huge benefit over electric. Run times
a 5000mah battery lasts me about 15 mins. My nitro MT2 on a little fuel bottle will run for over a hour.
I'm not going to say ones better than the other there both a blast to me.
Nitro also is more for people who like tinkering. one major plus to me is when people see the nitro(or hear it) they usually stop and go WOW MAN THAT THINGS DAMN NICE. I've had people drive around the block and ask me about the nitros when they were driving by and saw it. I've yet to get that with a electric most times they don't even notice them.
But yea agree with most the other stuff you say.
Main reason I started with electric was due to winter coming , and me not wanting to risk damaging/screw around with my nitro engines
