Nitro:
Pros: -Alot of upgrades available. -Looks really nice. ------------------ Cons: -Alot of tweaking the engine, to make it run perfect, and not take alot of nitro fuel. -Cost of Nitro(since gas is going up, the nitro gas is going up alot). __________________________________________________ _______ Electric: Pros: -Good upgrades. -Doesnt cost much for electric(power source better). -High torque. ------------- Cons: -Fry the board, FET's, motor, batteries,and (or) servo. -If it doesnt have a fan, and you run it alot, it might overheat, and burn something. -No cool sound, just the sound of the electric motor. -Might have to upgrade to get better speed. Just putting in some you missed.

My ***. Do you know that just about all the fastest RC records are held by electric cars? Electric's are equally as capable as any nitro. Lipo and brushless technology has put electric technology super far ahead in the rc game...and now electric power is more than able to put any nitro car to shame... not that I'm biased towards electric or anything...
plus, I find the sound of nitro cars annoying... |

any pors and cons YOU'VE had with either or. i was just putting my input, thats all. i had to tweak and adjust my nitro alot to get it where it is, and i love the sound of nitros, they are just alot of work.

Actually is does cost alot. Think about it, if gas goes up more, nitro fuel will hit the roof. And down here in Florida, theres alot of tweaking the engine to the right specs. because of the hummidity
