Welcome to the RCMonster forum. There are still a few guys on here that have nitro stuff laying around, but the center of attention is Brushless. The VXL's are popular for sure mostly due to the price I would say. There are tons of threads in here just for the brushless stuff, but there are a lot of pretty interesting topics to keep anyone with even the slightest curiosity busy for a while. Lots of history and loads of talent in this place. The knowledge level can get pretty intense with some of these guys, but we all share and play well for the most part. Pull up a chair and enjoy the ride.
