Because everyone will have their own opinion and power source that suits them better.

I am a DIE HARD nitro guy But i do have a brushless onroad just for running around/bashing for fun in my back lane so I dont get complaints from the neighbours.

But all my serious Fun/Race RC's are Nitro..
+1 to both of you. I prefer the noise, smoke, sound, and pit tactics also. It appeals to the eye more because of this, and resembles REAL RACING scaled down w/ clutches, engines, pipes ect. Same concepts and besides I would love to mx or a nascar but, r/c is what I have to work with. Makes me feel like a race car driver . Took my slash 4x4 took the track last friday to run and walked away with a losi 8ight 2.0. The nitro is so much more eye candy, listening too the persons throttle control and engines whine down the straight...pure awesomeness/viciousness. Watching the electrics run or marshaling them for that matter is not boring just dull. Don't get me I still own electrics but its just like someone turned off the radio in the car while driving. Watching them seems toyish, where as I don't feel like that with nitro I guess. When driving my ve8 I was more consistent there was nothing to fade or go wrong unless electronics. Just my thoughts
