yes lol i know that it still takes matence but since ive been running electrics for 8 years and racing them for 7 its just kinda 2nd hand nature for me and i dont think twice about anything like that i tend to tear all my 1/10th's down after every run when im paying and after ever race day and thats second nature but with the nitro idk why but it takes me like forever and ever to do the same thing when with it converted just pull the RX the ESC and the motor and clean compaired to pipe,engine,both sevors and the RX,RXbattery pack, fuel tank and more before i can even begin doing everything i want you know.,
but as long as the converted can survive the eat where i live and its ok to run with the nitro guys im prolly gonna switch
