i would stick with nitro intil theres a class for them which i dont see intil 2011 or 2012 and i think it also depends on what track u go to, like hobby hut there was 1 electric truggy and 1 electric buggy so they pretty much had to run with the nitros if u ask me nitro is easy to drive cause it has some lag in the allection and it feels like u are in more control than a fast brushless buggy
what dont u like about nitro u can make them pretty quick off the line with diffrent clutch springs setups,i run a nova .21 bf 3 port thats $150 and it rocks when its tune right and it can run with the more expesive engines
and i drove a modded one on a truggy and its wicked on them
