I think I'll stick a baseball card in my rear wheel to make the nitro guys feel better about the noise of my truck.

What's not talked about is how many people start then quit the hobby because they hate the fiddly little nitro engines. I talk to plenty of people at work, or people see me out bashing, or wherever who used to have an RC but gave it up because they could never get it to run right and/or was too much trouble. They see my truck run, ask what it is, see its elec and fast and are blown away.

If people like nitro, good for them. I driven a few, and there is a degree of fun w/ making a bunch of racket, but I'd never ever want to own one. I prefer BL in every way (including being able to go out at midnight and run it around after I'd been up tweaking it, and not spend the night in prison.)

There will be a nitro class for a long while. But having an elec alternative is only a good thing and will grow the hobby and bring down prices even more.
