I race my brushless MT's against nitro's mostly because there are no other electrics to race against around here. The track is in-doors but even with the ventilation, the gas fumes are obnoxious. It's also recommended to wear ear plugs because, if you don't, your ears will be ringing by the time you leave :007:

wishmasstir, If you are going out in the middle of the woods to race rc's, all you need is a lead acid car/boat battery and you'll have power for electrics for most of a day. You can easily haul a DC battery out there if you're riding a quad :018: There's always a way around the lack of A/C power.

I can hardly stand corner marshaling for 1/8th scale buggies. Talk about fumes? My eyes and lungs start burning everytime I have to corner marshal for them :dft004:
I almost feel like I need to start wearing a hazmat suit to the races :037:

It's also easy to kill a nitro motor while corner marshalling. If you accidently cover the exhaust, oopsy... my bad :005:
Try killing a BL that easily.
Also, flame outs during a race are frustrating. That's something I don't mind not having to worrying about.
