Default Nitro or Electric Pros. and Cons.

Here are the Nitro and Electric Pros. and Cons. so if you dont know what to get this will help. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK! ARE IF I NEED TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE LIST!

NITRO

PROS.
- Sounds Great; adds to realism of driving your R/C car.
-The occasional smell of exhaust fumes also adds the senses
-Can run for long pereods, just keep refilling!
-Constantly runs fast with a little fade in power
CONS.
-Messier than Electric
-Requires more maintinence
-louder than Electric and may desterb neighbers
-Racers must learn how to properly tune an engine; the learning curb might be difficult for SOME!

ELECTRIC

PROS.
-Easier to get going
-Troubleshooting is much more strait foward
-Runs quietly
-Can run indoors
-Requires less maitnence
CONS.
-Battery Runtime is limited; Battery must be recharged
-Not as Exciting because you dont hear are smell the fumes
-Performance is usually best after you begin driving.


I hope this helps you out!

The only problem is that Salvage usually is referred to as junk. The Savage is far from junk


Just playing. [8D]

PS - Next time someone debates the quality of lexan, I believe that's what they make some jet-fighter canopies out of.

I'm sorry, but my RS4 can't even hit 40 with a .15 Picco XP 15. It is hard to beleive that an electric Rustler with a budget sport motor could go faster then an RS4 with a high dollar engine. Im sorry, just dont beleive it. Lexan is also used to make some race car bodies.

LoL i had my first RC hobby lvl car when i was 5 or 6 years old it was an old Kyosho ultima buggy with a 12T and a old novak ESC. HAHA you lose! wonder if I still have pictures of it... I sold it not to long ago to a user here. After that when i was 9 my grandma bought me a TA-02 Tamiya, 11T DR.Frankienstien thingy mod motor, Midnight Trinity Stock Motor (used to be the best around) NOvak Rooster ESC (when they were brand new) and a Futaba Magnum JR radio. wow, you couldn't be more wrong..
