:sigh: Some people just don't get it. Nitro had its place in the days where you just couldn't get enough power/runtime/speed out of electric. Now with BL, lipos, etc, nitro is on its way out IMO. Oh, there'll always be a nitro or two kicking around for the "realism", but heck, even 1:1 cars are going towards electric. Just wait until batteries can pack the same amount of energy per volume as fuel and things will really boom IMO. Not to mention prices of fuel.
Tell the next gabbing nitro guy that if hates electric so much, he should replace all his servos and radio with nitro-powered parts because those are electric and batteries should be saved for flashlights.
