if u look at my signature, you'll see im pro-electric. for me, electric is a lot more enjoyable since there is less maintenance and you do not need a pit crew just to race. both has pro's and con's.

nitro pro's:
1) sound
2) unlimited runtime with fuel
3) strong class and well developed

electric pro's:
1) cleaner
2) no engine tuning
3) no starter box
4) no glow ignitor nor glow plug ($5 a piece)
5) no need for a pit crew for you to race
6) no need to worry about someone being faster than you
7) TONs of bottom end to clear those big jumps at the last minute
8) no need to worry about engine stalling
9) not getting irritated because your car is on it's back and the turn martial is taking to long to flip your care back over before your engine stalls
10) paying $40 to $50 a gallon for gas every other week or month

im sure i can think of more!!!
