i can race with them yes but i figure if i can get a jato to race with them for 400 and i will spend about as much on bl and a car to put it in it would be cheaper to go nitro(i also want a nitro car). But i did know i can race with gas because i will be racing my emaxx Bl with the nitro revos and t-maxxes. I guess i never realy thiught about it but it is a good i dea your right.
