Nitro all the way for me. I don't care how fast, electric just doesn't do it for me. Smoke, screaming RPM's, etc.. Nitro is just exhilerating in a way that elo can never be - for me anyway..
Also, for all those who gave up on nitro cuz they thought it was too difficult or fiddly, my $.02 - Mach 427 with Fioroni clutch.. Cheap and as low hassle as anything in this whole hobby.. I love my Mach - whether in buggy, truggy, MT, SC, onroad GT, racing or bashing.. It just lets me run my stuff without worrying about settings or how much I spent on it...
I'm going to make a shrine to my one silver Mach when it dies. Ran it first in my Muggy, then raced it in a Hyper ST, then in an RC8 buggy, then RC8T truggy, and now it's in my DM-1. Must be three years old and I lost count how many gallons. Re-pinched a half gallon ago or so...
Not trying to start a "which-engine" argument among nitro folks by any stretch either. Just saying,
for me having such a cheap low-hassle engine has played a big part in sealing my nitro-addiction ha ha... The RIDICULOUSLY low-hassle Fioroni clutch is part of it too for sure.. Neobart I'm still running yours...
Here's that Mach in my RC8 probably 2 1/2 years ago:

Ran the same engine and clutch in my DM-1 yesterday, and it was super great..
