I tried nitro and when I bought the thing, the guy in the shop already had me regreting it before I left with the 20 min speech on the 2 million ways you can break the engine. I get it, the sound is cool and smoke and whatnot but I can tell you a savage flux is anything but silent, and the thrill of seeing a car do the things only a brushless electric car can do is great.
Yes it can be annoying charging batteries but modern chargers can do it an hour and the higher capacity packs will see you running a long time between recharges. I still have my nitro but never use it, all it gave me was ringing ears and about 1000 burns from the engine.
