guys that converted 8ight truggy to E

Ok, I bought a RTR 2.o truggy a few weeks back. I love it. I really wanted electric from the start but lacking another 600 at the moment. But by spring time I really want to convert. Qestion is, for those that had nitro truggies, are you much happier running electric? Can a good setup be more cost effective than 30 bucks a gallon. Not that I'm in it to save money!! I just really want the ability to do things that a nitro can't do. I have a full blown track at my place and I come from a 23 yr motocross background. I really like making tricky rythem sections. Seems the snap of the electric is much more fun.

Any input is greatly apprecited
