I don't think nitro will ever go away. Both nitro and BL can be powerful. What is nice is that they have both got to a point where neither suck.

That's really what its come down to. Choices. If you like nitro, great. Run that and have fun. Prefer elec? You can now have a killer setup with that too. Both are fun and have diff adv/disadv.

Ironically I think Rivermaxx is doing the best in making the case against nitro. Basically he has said all along that all engines besides his personal favorite brand X are chitty, and even then require extensive and professional modding and setup to really even compete with basic and inexpensive off the shelf BL parts that can even be operated by beginners.

Well whatever. Have fun with that.

Personally I very much enjoy my near stock Sav XL w/ a "POS sport" (lol) LRP.28 and my various "mild" BL trucks that do a mere 50+mph. Thank god I'm not hungup on records and hyper-competitivism or it sounds like I'd never be having fun.
