Crowds watching, racing under the lights, smoke and dust, go home dirty and feeling like a brut man - ahahahahaha - pitstops and pitman easy to find a pit man. Not running pro at first so a extra second durning a pit stop is not goign to kill ya. Any thing you needs or help you may need, just ask and you will get all the help you needs plus some.

lol i see this at least 2x's a week and ive officially fell in love with nitro!!

My only suggestion is: When it comes down to buying, DONT ASK NO ONE FOR SUGGESTIONS, just way to many opinions and arguments. Do the research and buy what pleases you. There are alot of GOOD products out there. Some work for some and others work for others. I like Losi and JR, others like Mugen and Hitec. All are good in there own rights but people in the hobby feel very strong about there choices. THEY REPRESENT. Its not a problem until people start trashing other companies they personally dont like.


so with that, just do you homework and buy what you like and not what people tell you to buy.

Not to say that you don't need to do maintenance on electric but nitro just takes more time and effort. I like both equally at this point. 1/8 in itself is almost unbreakable all the cars are solid. When I run 1/10 I for sure have more breakage,parts,pieces and such. Enjoy

the only thing i like about nitro is the long mains. i currently race on road electric and its fun, but the 5 minute mains kind of stink, it forces you to drive agressive the whole time. in a nitro main, a steady pace is better than a frantic one which you chance flipping yourself and losing more time than just taking that fraction of a second more.

right now i have a lightning pro 2 that has no power plant, im on the verge of getting either a conversion kit, or getting a v spec.. it all depends on what my track has to say (class wise). i kind of want to race the longer mains..
