nitro
love nitro because I can fit everything in one bag and run for hours. but maybe with lipo and brushless, electric starting to look better, less maintenance.

Guys,
Electric cars are designed for short sprint type racing (5 mins for 10th and 8 mins for12th).
Nitro cars are built for endurance type racing (30 to 60 minute mains) where pit stops are required.
ELECTRICS-less maintenance harder to drive
NITRO-more maintenance not as difficult to drive

I have one question, have you ever driven a on-road TC with a 3.5T brushless and Li-Po? Plus, you can't compare these cars, they are completely different scales. At least compare a 720 to a S400. Not a S400 to a 960.

Electric = Toy
Nitro is what sepperates a RC from a TOY!
Nitro = A Man's Toy
Electric = A Pre-Schooler's Toy

Ive had a few nitro cars and never really liked them do to:
Noise
Smell
Messy
Price of fuel
have to tune all the time
engine rebuilding
even though it gas you still need a charger and battery pack for the servos and electronics
if you plan on racing you usually need a second person to "pit" for you
electric can go just as fast as nitro if not faster.With the new technology of electronics they have the potential of longer runtimes and less maintnence.
just my 2 cents.
