Doesn't want gas but moved to nitro? Moved to electric.

Lemme write up a post and I'll edit back with my thoughts.

Cheers,
Kyle.

Just to clarify, Questions/Comments/Complains/Suggestions is for Q/C/C/S about Xmodsource as a website, not RCs (Xmods, MiniZ, Associated, etc).

Cheers,
Kyle.

Forgot to ask these things:

1. What size are you looking for? Something approximately the size of a Villian or smaller or larger? Need your thoughts on size.
2. What is your limitation on price?
3. Since you don't want gas you're stuck with electric (unless you go by wind-power, which will never be faster than a Villian ), are you against brushless or for it? Also, do you already have any batteries for power or no (typically run on 7.2V SubC NiMH)?

Cheers,
Kyle.

That was going to be one of my suggestions. AquaCraft is a great company and many hobby shops carry various replacement parts if anything does go wrong.
