Lito you are probably right I probably will love the brushless setup I get. I just want to see the guys bashing nitro show their stuff.

I have a feeling you will find quite a few people on here who dislike nitro, as this is a mainly brushless electric forum...
Kinda like the guys on the traxxas forum bashing hpi stuff...
And a 500 dollar nitro engine will still not keep up with the $300 castle 2200 system on 6s lipo. It may run better and last longer than a cheaper big block but it will still only make so much power and rev so high. Nitro motors cannot compete with elctric in power or torque production, or rpm...
And before someone metions the battery cost... A decent 6s lipo can be had for around 250 bucks, and should get about 200 cycles if treated properly. So that equates to about 67 hours of use (asuming 20 min runtime, which is very a very low estimate for a 6s setup).
Now nitro costs 30-35 bucks a gallon, so 250 bucks will get you about 8 gallons. That is around 30,000cc so about 200 tanks of fuel (150cc tank). Now most big blocks can go thru a tank of fuel faster than 20mins... So the lipo is cheaper than the nitro fuel over the lifetime of the setup. Not sure if a nitro engine can do 8 hrs without rebuild, so you might want to factor in some parts.
In any case I think you will enjoy electric almost as much as you enjoy arguing....
