I've seen electric stuff go out without even a puff of smoke. When those guys have trouble it's usually an expensive meltdown and a lot of troubleshooting headaches. The acceleration is awesome but batteries are still for flashlights in my opinion. I'll stick with what I like no matter what the trend is. Seems less frustrating to ME.

That first part about feedback from the engine making it easier to diagnose problems is rediculous. The only problems you can have with a BL motor are heat and worn out bearings. There is more heat with nitro, and the bearings still fail on them too. There is no way a BL motor will explode, which another guy on that thread said was part of the "thrill of the hobby".
If you need to rely on the audience to tell you that your truck has a problem because YOU didn't pick up on it then I would say that YOU are in need of a new hobby which will suit your ironically imperceptive nature.
Batteries are just for flashlights...where the hell is this guy from? A cave? At least he agrees that we can beat him in a race with our supreme acceleration. It's just EVERYTHING else about electric R/C he doesn't like.
He also stated that electric R/C is a trend, which would imply that he thinks it will fade out as time goes on.
Sorry for the rant, but BLIND IGNORANCE happens to be one of my buttons.
