just made the jump
I got into rc the first time a long time ago and even then the initial cost of electric was cheaper...then I got upset over running 15 minutes then waiting on the charger so I got more batteries, then hot swapping batteries all afternoon on a fast charger smoked the batteries in a very short time so I once again was buying another battery set. If I recall, I had just found the manufacturer of the individual cells and was going to order a case so I could make my own battery packs when my Kyosho Ultima (yeah, it was 1987) decided to play it's own version of 52 pickup. There are way cheaper ways to get batteries than the insano markup lipo setup i've been looking at but even still I also chose nitro over electric. Granted, fuel isn't all that cheap either but for someone like myself who wants to get more than one run/ hour without all the money tied up into batteris it seemed the more sensible solution. I am expecting (tomorrow) my first nitro RC and will be posting on here all the things good or bad that I encounter with my choice in a separate thread, when i have information to post, under the REVO thread. I'm a tinkerer anyway..in fact i'm an army helicopter maintenance test pilot, and hope I'll be able to figure the tuning on this pencil piston popper to keep it moving. I just hope I find a way to get fuel soon. Nothing more frustrating than being all dressed up with no place to go.:\
