I've never owned a R/C other than when I was younger. Even then it was a Wal-Mart/Radio Shack car. Anyway I am looking to get a real R/C but can't decide if I want electric or nitro.

Heres the thing I don't want to have to constantly fix things on a nitro as more can go wrong. Is it common for stuff to break on nitros even if they ain't ran hard? Also on electric can you adjust to ESC to go faster and have less runtime(battery life) or set it to slower and have more runtime?

On electric. I see on the motors its either a 18t,22t,,ect. Is the higher the number the faster the motor or lower? And does it make the truck faster?

A web site on R/C info would be great if there is one that explains these things.

BTW hows the RC10t3? Looking for opinions.

Thanks
