Lets just agree to disagree can't compare apples to oranges. Gas and nitro cars have their advantages and so do electric cars.
I could care less if you believe me or not. The setups I am running are very common and many have gone faster with them. I am a good enough driver that I almost never crash. Thats not to say that bad things dont happen sometimes due to blown tires, stripped spurs causing no brakes, 6+ ft high liftoffs..etc. Haha. Here is what I am running:

1. Team associated tc4 with 7700kv 1406 castle motor, Mamba monster 2 esc, 4s, geared 3.0 - 128 mph

2. OFNA GTP2E with 2200kv castle motor, Mamba monster 2 esc, 6s, geared at 3.3 - 120 mph

3. Kyosho Inferno gt2 ve with 1600kv Leopard motor, Castle XL2 esc, 8s, geared at 4.1 - 120 mph

Very common and simple setups. Anyone with knowledge of brushless should know these speeds are very possible. They are actually quite commonplace if you go on youtube.
