Nitro vs Brushless

[Shark413]

jhautz, I agree with your statement regarding driving style. Nitro requires more on/off style as you stated because of the spool up required by the nitro engine/clutch, it doesn't deliver optimum hp/torque until it gets into a specific rpm range (high). Nitro requires more blipping of the throttle to keep the rpm's up. Electric on the other hand has almost instant torque and requires a much smoother throttle. Nitro engagment is more muted, because of the spool up required to reach the right rpm, and the clutch slippage. Electric has no delay and feels more powerful and can lead to excess wheel spin if not controlled. The electric buggy is heavier, because of the battery and the suspension, and has to be setup differently to account for that. In my experince they require totally different driving styles. This translates into different lines, brake points, etc.
