I dont really understand the attitudes over this, their completely different..why do you think in on road they separate the nitro and electric..the electric has the advantage..it's like cheating really..heck at club races why dont you just run everyone together..1/10th scale electric, nitros, buggies and truggies..I say man up and race with other ELECTRICS or does cheating suit you electric guys more..electric has a lot less variables than nitro..like no flame outs, if you crash you dont have to worry about your motor flaming out, theirs no motor tuning, no clutches, the electrics are lighter, and as more and more manufacturers start building purpose built electric buggies and truggies the gap will start growing..electric is quicker, faster and more reliable..it will end up killing the nitro class if you run them together..yes even at the club level..sorta like bringing a gun to a knife fight....as the electric guys learn how to drive the electric truggies and buggies (takes a different style) they will start winning more and more..
