I used to be all about Nitro and never interested in the least about 1/8 electric. Till I drove one that is..... I am a motorcycle technician for a living and love motors and is the reason I got into RC (nitro motors). I loved the sound and tuning and the fact it was a real motor. Well now my thoughts have changed. I have 2 1/8 electrics and will be making the full switch very soon. So much easier to drive, no pitman, no stalling, no flaming out, no dead starter boxes etc. and the power . Yes I will miss the smell and sound of nitro but for all the rest of the benefits of electric, I will be just fine
