Wow it looks like they're about neck to neck. Another factor you may want to add in this equation is the cleaning part. You will get dirty and gooey after running your nitro. After each run or race, you'll have to clean all the dirt and grime combined with the oil from the nitro. Electric is much cleaner. After each race, you'll want to take apart the electric motor and clean it. If you're a neat freak then electric but if you're a grease monkey then nitro. Just my opinon.
