With me the cost isn't the issue.I will choose nitro over electric anyday just for the sound and smell factor.Also I like the strategy aspect of nitro pit stops.As a mechanic I have no problem working on and cleaning my stuff.As far as the mess,suck it up and quit being lazy
.To me it's all part of the "zen" aspect of the hobby,I love spending quality time in my workshop cleaning,prepping and repairing my rigs.
Flame away!!!!!!!!
