HELP!!!!! Bashing(nitro) or get into racing(electric) HELP!!!!!!
Hello
Ive come up with a delema...
I have oned both nitro and electic cars in my life and i want to know if i should buy a XTM Xterminator deluxe and have fun bashing and or getting a Losi xxx-t and getting into racing for the first time.
I know that nitro is not as easy to use as the electrics but the buggy would be funner to have.
I've never really tried racing and i would like to try it, but then again ive never tried a buggy.
There are pros and cons to both of them.
(and i only would be able to race electric becase its an indoor track)
what do you think i should do?

Get the electric XXX-T. Racing is a ton of fun, especially after you get to know the folks you're racing with. Bashing can be fun, but there's nothing like the adrenalin of trying to make a pass (or trying not to screw up and be passed). You really have to try it to see if you'll find it fun or frustrating. Besides, you can always "bash" with the XXX-T if the need arises.

Give racing a try for sure. It is one of the most enjoyable aspects of this hobby. That kick of adrenaline on the driver stand is great. Don't forget to blink.

electric is faster nowadays with these new brushless motors and lipo batterys, plus they require way less maintenence and get better run times. plus their is less stuff to brake and go wrong. just my 2 pesos.
