    I bought my T-Maxx back when electrics took too long to charge and ran for about 15 minutes. It made sense back then. Today though, you can get over an hour run time with short charge times. Still can't replace the smell and sound of nitro. Yeah the electrics are fast and run longer, but they just don't give you the same experience. I have a first gen nitro stampede converted to a 2.5R engine. That thing is too wild to control. So much more fun than electric models.

    Electric is way easier than nitro that’s why more people are going to electric because they don’t understand the mechanics of a nitro , learning to tune a nitro properly takes a few years in the hobbie to actually know what you are doing, you need to understand the clutch what set up works best on what terrain know how to recognise if your engine is to rich to lean before you do damage, I run both I don’t need to worry about all that with electric it’s to easy with electric

    Fallowing the instructions on tuning is easy and worst is to have a hobby shop tune it and you just rip it batteries are really not easy to maintain as most don’t learn it safely easier to learn to tune then charge for an hour then balance charge after you run easiest is to run a nitro out of fuel done ✅

    nitro is no way easier than electric you have to deal with climate and be able to tune accordinly. nitro is cool but your making it look easy cause you know whats up and its a straight up mess, that fuel gets all over everthing

    In my opinion only thing better about nitro is the sound but sound is a big cool factor, I pretty much stopped watching F1 because the V6 cars sounds like vacuum cleaners lol but you definitely won’t get a nitro 1/10 too go over a 100 mph like an arrma 3s
