i like eletric better... i just got out of nitro and dont plan on going back... nitro can be mess .. and every day you have to tune your rc. and at lest 1 a month you have to buy fuel.... and that can cost you $20-50 a gall . i dont run lipo and i do really good... i just run a 3600 mah battery pack and eletric is more faster then nitro ... that what caraction said ... and it cost less then nitro i thank in the long run... and its more chances that it will run lol...
