The only electrics I have had were the cheap ones from WalMart or Toys R Us. I was never happy with the run time, but I'm sure a quality electric would have better run time.

My first real R/C was a nitro monster truck. I had zero experience, but I followed the directions that came with it for the break-in and tuning. Got a temp gun to help me keep my temps under control. It was a lot of fun.

I love the smell, sound and challenge of a nitro engine. But then again I love full scale racing too.

I would go with the E Maxx as long as the batteries are charged your running.

If your going to be with someone that can help you with tuning the nitro you might be OK if not go electric it's much easier to run.

I've had both the new E-maxx and Rustler VXL. The emaxx ate up batteries like crazy so I had two sets, now this is not cheap. I started out with nimh and was planing on going with lipo but ended up going on road and sold it. It was very fun at the track, here is a video of the Emaxx stock running Trinity 4600 7 cell nimh http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cp4wylmAZCQ

I now run 1/10 pan car single lipo and tons of fun due to the longer run times and having 4 lipos always on hand. E-Maxx was fun but if you don't have at least 3-4 sets of lipos the fun runs out very quicly killing your day. If I had to do it all over which I plan on doing, go with e-revo and 3-4 sets of lipos and you will have tons of fun.

Where's the fun if there is no challenge?

espresso - I like the way you took the pipe out on the first lap. We don't need no stinking pipes - we just go through them

Espresso1967 is right check out the E-REVO that truck is sick especially if you want to mess around on a track or launch it off jumps. I seen a brushless one it is insane.
