nitro isn't that bad. It's a pain in the arse to get working and keep working and find some where to drive that you aren't going to piss anyone off but once you get all that right it is fun. It took me a while to get used to the noise and the noise still sucks when it's not working perfectly but when it is tuned spot on it sounds fantastic. I still prefer electric though. I am sick of constantly replacing parts on my nitro motors to keep them running. At least electric motors only require bearings every now and then and they tend to last longer.

I want to have both electric and nitro so I can pick and choose the best one for the occasion. It will still be nice when I go bashing for the day to pull out the nitro and just run it all day with out having to keep charging batteries. I realised something though on the weekend. My nitro savage has more batteries then my electric one will.


Savage: FLM Conversion, 6s, MMM, CC 1520.
Mini-T Pro: Micro Pro 6800kv, Lipo, HS-81mg, Dirt Hawgs
M18MT: Quark 33A, Y22S 6000kv, FP 2s Lipo
LRP S8-BX: RC-M Conversion, Tekin RX8 B1600KV, 6S.

Nitro is good for back to back running, but still a pain to tune, especially the small block motors. I will most likely buy the baja ss kit, as it is gas powered, and that offers the best of both worlds, in respect of ease of use and lack of batery charging. I know that it will be noisy, but I have large areas close where nobody is bothered by the noise. I have seen the same thing with the 3.3, just not much torque. Personally nitro is boring for me, slow acceleration and just a sticky mess.
