Decision Making. Nitro to Electric

[benlinus]

Depends on the car... you will need to find a suitable motor for it and may have to do some drilling to get it to work. but gonn ashare how to convert

Nitro powered cars are generally faster than electric cars and can sometimes require more driving skill to control. The downside to Nitro models is there is a lot of maintenance required because of the engine. You will need to be prepared to learn and understand the model and mechanics of basic hobby engines. If you have patience and are looking for a something that needs more than just simply charging then Nitro is best for you. Bare in mind that with the new Brushless Electric Motors on Electric cars the speed in terrific.
Note - Nitro cars generally don't have a reverse gear, so bare that in mind also. With electric, your in full control forward and reverse.
Electric powered cars are much simpler and require less maintenance than nitro. You can simply charge the batteries and run the car. Very little adjustments are needed. Recommended for beginners who just want to get the model out and use it straight away or if you have restrictions on where you can use the car then electric cars make no noise.
Please remember the RC Electric and Nitro Cars we sell are not toys and should not be used by anyone under the age of 14 without supehrvision from an adult.

That is where you are wrong my friend. brushed and brushless are slower out of the box. but with the right lipo battery/batteries a brushless will outrun a nitro any day unless you have some insane customization done to the nitro. Myself i love nitro its the work that goes into it that i like but i do like electric rigs to especially for the winter months.

Um....not true at all. That's why you see 100+mph BRUSHLESS rustlers, and what not. Not nitro. Some people can get nitros moving pretty good but not nearly as fast as the right brushless setup with the right gearing. For a beginner I will agree that a electric will generally be better.
