A buddy of mine converted an 8T to electric. I was jazzed to go check it out, as I've seen the nitro versions on the track and they look like lots of fun.
Watching him run it (and hearing it run, or more accurately, *not* hearing it run) reminded me a lot of my electric Traxxas Rustler. And that's not a good thing.
I know that electrics are very competitive compared to nitros, but for me, 90% of the fun is hearing my buggy scream down the straight, leaving a trail of nice blue smoke. Without that, I'd probably stay home.
