everytime I have to breathe that stuff, fans dont help either.
My eyes burn too after marshalling those things, when I leave that

My clothes dont smell very good either, but some people have gotten
used to it. Me I cant stand it. You feel like youre dying when you leave...
I agree totally. When I was first looking at getting into the hobby years ago, I watched both disciplines run. The abyssmal electric run times wasn't so hot, but the noise/smell/fumes of the nitro cars was a major deal-breaker. Outside of the run-time, there's nothing appealing about those cars.
Now that battery/motor efficiency is making major leaps (brushless/LiPo), I think the future looks quite bright for electrics
