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.

The amt spent could be said for anything in any hobby, but the point is why spend $500 on a nitro motor when you can get more for less w/ BL? In fact why would you put a $500 motor (don't forget the $70+ pipe) in a stock Savage?
You can get a castle setup for cheap and it takes all the work out of picking setups out. Get some inexpensive good lipos, like Mike's, Neus or Zippies and you are ready to rock for less than that, and it will run for years.
Check out my
simple Crt.5 video. 60mph easy, yet easy to tune down for the track or backyard driving. The setup is a bit diff now, but just as fast. A <$80 sidewinder esc, a $100 medusa motor, and a $35 lipo. I'm getting two years + of great use out of my lipos. I dare you to find a nitro that can do that and for that price.
I'm really not into crazy speed runs, but all my setups are more than fast enough. Plenty of vids if you care to browse. My first BL revo did wheelies to 50 mph and was a cheap chinese $50 feigao XL and a $120 MM. I still have the $110 trueRc lipo, motor and esc (in crt.5 sometimes :) ) nearly 3 years later.
