So I still believe our day will come. With the advancement of lipos and brushless motors it should just be a matter of time. I look at traxxas as an example they just did there vxl series which comes with brushless and all there advertised speeds are with a lipo pack. Some manufacter will eventually do the same thing with a truggy.

Now by looking at my sig you can tell that I would prefer it to be a losi but I think traxxas will do it first, but that is just my opinion.

To me, it's just like everything else. Look at the first cell phones . . . they were big, no battery life, extremely expensive, and only a few people had them. Not to mention people thought they were not needed. Now look and see if you can find anyone without one. I know RC isn't like the cell phone industry, but in terms of development it will be. The fact is that brushless is faster and has more potential for development. Nitro can only get so much better than it is now. I say it's just a matter of time before nitro is the dinosaur.
