What I like about [brushless] electric:
- Much less noise
- Ability to run indoors
- Less mess from Nitro
- Less maintenance
- Better torque
- No break in
- No glo-plugs to replace
- No trouble starting
- Less tinkering to get it right (I always seem to be adjusting the needles for the weather that day).
- Don't have to keep buying fuel.
- BL Motors generally last longer than Nitro engines and only require new bearings to rebuild, so are cheaper to rebuild when necessary.
- Require fewer servos and mechanical linkages (less things to go wrong).
- Having or not having reverse is a simple programming change.
What I don't like about electric:
- Charging batteries. That's it.
When I got my Revo, I was really on the fence between the E-Maxx and the Revo because I really wanted electric, but the Revo was just too damn cool to pass up, so I got that Now that I'm working on my E-Revo, I'll have two Revos and the best of both worlds (in my opinion at least).
