Todays electric cars have exceeded the runtime of nitro with the advent of better batteries and motors. I can easily run longer than any nitro powered car at my track. Also, the 4wd buggy class have been enjoying a resergence due to the new batteries and motors available. This is an exciting class with alot of different models from different manufacturers to choose from unlike in the 2wd truck and buggy class were it is Associated and Team Losi are the only two.
