If you think electric cant be fast your so wrong and silly. See link below for my electric LST. it gets 30+ minutes of runtime. Top speed with 6 cell lipo is 65+ mph

This will be a never ending discussion for us on this forum. I have both electric and 1 nitro savage.

I like electric just because it's pretty much plug and play. With the addition of lips and brushless 20 min run times is a amazing for electrics. Plus Sidsraceway is just across the street from me.

As for nitros cars/trucks. I've seen guys @ #5 raceway take 15 min-20 just to get the car/truck to started. Either the starter box went to the crap house or somthing elese wrong with it. The tunning aspect of it can be a pain in the butt. esecially flame outs

Although the fun factor is about equal for me. I still vote electric to be more fun for me.

All in all its just personal prefference right. End of story !!!!!!

nitro is the only way to go! 30 mins. HA! with nitro you can go out and run for hours(YES I SAID HOURS FOLKS) with out having to come in to change the battery electric is easier for the tards that don't know how to tune a nitro engine and the same guys even manage to burn up electric motors too
