RE: nitro or brushless.
as many have said, they both have their place. i miss nitro for the sound and pure enjoyment but electric is so lazy person friendly.
i prefer nitro because it just entertains me and i didnt have to tune that much, maybe 3 times a week running daily.
i presently only have an electric and its just not as fun. its entertaining for 5 or 10 minutes but i could be entertained by nitro just as long when it was just idling and the infrequent blips to keep it running.
