Why Electric?

[MetalMan]

My biggest problem with nitro when I ran it was the fuel. On my vehicle, it made a mess everywhere and was a pain to clean up. With electric, the only thing to clean up is dirt, whereas with nitro I would have dirt caked onto parts from nitro fuel. I have other reasons, but they have already been stated.

That would suck! Of course, batteries can catch on fire too... It's less likely than nitro fuel, as long as everything is done properly.

I started with gas and now having done electric I think electric is much easier to trouble shoot and keep running at its peek ( no carb adjustments etc.). Also you can tweak your setup and runnig gear at your kitchen table or shop bench. Try firing up a nitro anywheres but outside and see how long before you get overcome with fumes :036: . Performance is also better, these brushless beasts just flat get up and go when you hit the throttle. Also with my new lipo setup I can get 20+ minutes of runtime and that's with it geared to hit the 40mph mark. Like avery4jc said "run what ya like" but me personnaly having played with both I would never go back to nitro. One last thing is staying in the good graces of your negihbors if your so inclined to do that. :027:
