hey, i know this is kinda stupid, but i am thinking about going back to electric trucks. I have no income, so I cannot keep on buying fuel. I could only afford to buy my car used, and I have had a lot of problems with it. I now need to buy a new piston/sleeve (or get repinched). I have $0 and do not feel like being in debt. I would appreciate it much if you would help me in this,... https://www.rcnitrotalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31385 thanks a lot.

These are all money pits, but the nitro pit goes deeper. Electrics need the batts and charger, but save you the cost of fuel and the time involved in tuning and maintenance.
Wait for the Wizards of Voltage to give you info on the electric cars.
 
lol,

yea, but I am a kid and do not own my own house. I do not have to pay the bills, plus my parents would rather have me be charging batteries for my car rather than having gas around the house.

There's still maintenance involved with them, but no bad smelling fuel or oil residue dripping when you're done running them. That should make them happy.
