Plus - look at the performance - a buggy can only take so much power - with nitro - a good driver pushes their buggy to the max in handling and suspension, they work to keep all four wheels grabbing the ground. I know electric guys have have to constantly replace gearing because they are over powered with no slip
Eletric class / Nitro class - PERIOD
If someone is spending 200 on a batt. they have no clue what they are doing first of all. Also 20mins....no problem with a well setup brushless system we are going past that. As for lap times.....you need better electric guys running at your tracks then. Also if they are breaking drivetrain parts, they are not setup correctly...simple as that. No worry about flameouts for us or a bad tune....just instant torque and instant response. I have won a few races with my slower electric
