Well if you get a nitro you can't race with use so you might call that a positive!

Cons - Captain lip has one



Nitro.

Pro's - Captain Lips doesn't race one

I appreciate that you don't race nitro.


What I really want to know is mainly reliability between electric and nitro.

Nitro was the only way for real Rc power in small scale
Before brushless
Now it's even more awful than it ever was
If you want a real engine noise and power then 5 th scale 2 stroke Is the answer
It's ace
But nitro is just not as clean and easy as brushless power
And if you mean tenth scale nitro then it's a joke
I'm sure some people love it.
And I hope lip doesn't have electric or nitro now I think he is training to be cannon fodder wich Is great news

Basically I hate nitro and so do a lot of us at bury brushless is best
