That is good. I have both Tekin & Castle. Castle is more reliable. Tekin is smoother from a dead stop but not important for off road. 2650 has insane speed. Must use small pinion for small tracks. BL is Brushless motors. Nitro needs a lot more motor tuning. They are affected by weather. Elect is not and motors are sealed, only need bearings changed once a yr. I like the noise of nitro but dont have the time to tune & maintain them.
If you go elect 4s lipo is what you should get.
