Dam its like you read my mind. Ive been racing electric for 6-7 years and started nitro 4-5 months ago lol. Electric competition is just as(and maybe even more) competitive than nitro racing. With electric, most racers are closer together timewise. Thats because a lot of electric racers may have identical batteries, motors, and setups which then comes down to your DRIVING skill. With nitro, every motor is different and its not always driving skill that gets you to the top. Plus all the other aspects of nitro(flameouts, tuning issues, mileage, etc.).

Again, no one considers that the jp2 may be the difference maker. Have any of you ran a jp2 on a v-spec?
