My nod will have to go to electric, don't get me wrong I had allot fun with nitro but once I learned how to setup an electric 1/8 buggy it's just too easy I'm talking plug and play! I have logged two years race time on the same esc (Mamba Monster) and the same six 4s packs (Turnigy 5000mAh/25c) with zero problems! I run twenty minute mains easy
My buggy is a D8/Tekno conversion and I'm loving it
Learn to drive it, take care of it, it will last!!
Just my two cents worth
