Imma tell you what. I'm 28 years old. Have a family and the bills to prove it. To a guy like me, electric is the best thing goin. A helluva lot less maintainence. Don't get me wrong, I do tear down my buggy and motor every time a run it. But it's just plug and play technology. If your gonna call me a kid for lovin my electric rc then well hell, who wants to grow old anyways!!!
