i was wondering if the redcat brushless system in a tornado with a good lipo would be as fast as a nitro tornado???

I think it is just as fast, faster in acceration for sure. There was a disscusion about it i think in a different thread. But you will end up spending probably more then double it would cost for a nitro.

yes, i already have a few nitro's. i was thinkin of trying eletric tho.

ditto, here is my tornado with a 7.4 lip 4900 and the redcat system

i personally would rather get another nitro than a electric, though electrics you can run in the house which is always fun, chasing dogs and kids, but you wouldnt need a brushless system for that.

but if you want to get one i say go for it, either way you will have another RC car to play with when one or the other is broke.

depends which you like: nitro or electric
