I dunno, I have a nitro car and a brushless electric and I can tell you what gets a hell of a lot more use. I find nitro a little fiddly, you gotta make sure you have enough fuel handy and glow plug ignition blah blah blah. Plus the idea of a car that can run out of radio range and still have plenty of power to the drive wheels kind of worries me...
I can see how some people get a real kick out nitro, with tuning them and whatnot, but my savage flux gets 30-40 minute run times per recharge and it's a hell of a lot quicker then my nitro touring car.
