I own both, and like both.

I have found that I like my Brushless in my monster trucks pretty good. Mainly because im the type that likes climbing hills, and just trying to get through rough terrain. The electric has gobs of torque with no delay which is real handy when you are heading up a hill. Its also nice to have reverse, and if you are creeping around slow, you dont have to worry about heating up the clutch, or the engine loading up.

However, I still like my nitro Savage, I just like a different kind of running with it. Mainly places where I can open it up and keep the speed up a little. Not places where I need to back up often and go slow because its technical. However, I have found that what I REALLY like a nito in is my 1/8th buggies I have owned. They are just a lot of fun to run, and they seem to tune easier being single speed and lighter than a truck, and they just are really a lot of fun to drive as a nitro. An 1/8 buggy is probably my favorite kind of nitro now.

Anyways, both have pro's and con's. Just run what you like, and in many cases, its both
