Guys, I've been racing nitro for the last 4 years, firstly with truggies and buggies, and lately with the 4wd nitro'd SC8.
I've been racing a SC10 since xmas, and i'm having far more fun with it.

2wd requires more finesse as opposed to just mullering it with a 4wd nitro.

At the mo, finances means something has had to give, and for me it's the nitro taking a back seat, and 2wd short course all the way.

If finances improve, then I might even buy a 2wd buggy as i'm enjoying it that much.

I think in nitro racing people can get far too het up and occassionally temers flare. In the electric i'm finding far more chilled, and we have great banter on the rostrum - something you can't do in nitro. Short course means a little rubbing happens, and as opposed to open wheel racing, there is less chance of cars going off at angles and crashing.

I'm sure 4wd SC will be big, but for me at the mo, 2wd is more appealing as requires far more control on my part, and makes me feel like a better driver.

I've had a go with a Blitz and they handle pretty good, and with the new kit, you appear to be getting plenty for your money.
I only went SC10 as that was more popular at our track and thus obtaining parts easier. I also like the fact that more evenly matched cars means driver ability is more important.
