well there are many different factors but i would say in general top speed would have to be nitro although the quick acceleration and torque of electric has a bit of a edge.

i'd agree with basketti on that one - i don't think there'd be any electric RTR that would take on the fastest RTR nitro would there?
Electric has held the boat record for a while now....seems like it must be a hard one to beat -lol- |

A nitro vehicle gains power as rpms increase. This creates a lag in power between the low and high rpm's. Because of this lag, electric vehicles will always have an advantage with thier "instant power".
Overall top speed can be acquired with appropriate power/gearing The Flashlight Strikes Again... |

As far as acceleration goes (not top speed) the last I checked, electric holds the world record for scale 1/4 mile drags.

Electric also holds the RC speed record, with Cliff Lett's vehicle going over 110mph. That was a while ago, and I'll bet people have surpassed that already (with electric).

In stock form, nitros will be quicker. A brushless motor versus a modified nitro engine would be a good fight. My money would be on the brushless motor though.

There are advantages to both. I like the power of the electric. I have to say though right out of the box the nitro has a higher top speed but I would guess the electric has the acceleration.

When was this Squee? The highest i heard was RC Car Action with a HPI Super nitro RS4 at 101 mph People here hate Nitro, I love it. I start it, run it about 50 ft from me and it dies, I go after it. Perfect exercise |
