My buggy will run 30-35 min on the battery shown in this vid, and it can be geared to run as fast as you can make your nitro go... I promise. ;)
No doubt a nitro can be very fast... it's not easy for an electric to match the top end of nitros... but don't forget electrics will always have the bottom end that nitros can only dream about. hee hee
Too bad we can't always put it to the ground... offroad often can't take as much bottom end as a BL buggy has. For example, in my video clip, I have to ease on the throttle to keep it pointed the right way. I made the mistake on the first lap, grabbed a little too much heading into the first crossover jump and got sideways... that's why I missed the landing and wrecked.
I won't bash nitros though... I actually like them too. But they get to be too much after a long day of hearing 10-15 at a time.... WAAAHHHH!!!!!! WWAAAAAHHH!!!!!
:D
