I am a die hard electric guy but I have raced Nitro in the past. I will admit that part of the reason that I love electric and will never go back to Nitro is that I can't tune a Nitro to save my life. I understand electric much better and I have no problems that I can't take care of. I have only had a few races that I did not finish with my electric car/truck because of a problem with my electronics. I did have a ton of problems with my Nitro trucks that caused me to not finish or do well in a race. This was due 100% to the fact that I do not know what the hell that I am doing with Nitro. I give props to you Nitro guys that can keep your engines running strong and just gas and go.
Maybe electric comes easier to me or it is just plain easier but it is the path that I chose and I do well with it.
