I roll with Electric.. just brought stuff to make mine faster then a nitro engine and after you buy a few batteries and charger it save you running costs in the long run..

I would love an electric but it just doesn't give you the feeling you've got what you paid for (sound wise really : / and i used electric when i was a young child so i thought nitro would be a step up ) For my next nitro car im probably going to get a Traxxas slayer (non pro version because it isn't sold in England)

Well hecko Lupus :P

Also I prefer Electric cars but I think it's only because I've never seen a Nitro in action.

my current Brushless setup now runs faster then its Nitro equivalent  :gawe: and the best thing is I have a charger that connects to my Car battery so I can charge Batteries while im out running it..
