RE: electric verses nitro
well.....can u get an electric to jump a house like in the one video?
I will admit that there isn't ANY electric that comes stock comparable in speed to a nitro vehicle. But when outfitted with a brushless system and quality batteries the difference is definately noticeable. Stock, nitro has the advantage, but half of the R/C hobby is modifying and tinkering. One reason electric can be made is faster is the "tuneability" of the motor, the same can't be said with a nitro motor. Nitro you can bore the engine, add a tuned pipe, and adjust the gearing. Electric has the option of changing power usage, take-off, and many other options.

What makes it so much more "fun"?
Nitro is just simply more fun!

The smell of nitro exhaust is an afrodisiac, if they made cologne in that scent I would buy it.

RE: electric verses nitro
IMO nitro is more fun but it is always nice to have an electric near by for when your truck is calling your name before the sun rises
