Whats up bud. There is alot more to a nitro/petrol RC vehicle. Then the electric RCs. And they can be very load and sometimes a PITA. I have had nitro since the late 90s early 2000s. Over the past yr or two. I have been getting into the electric side of the RC world. Got to say I'm loven it. Besides the whole watch your esc/motor Temps. Plus alot less care and maintenance to electric then nitro. But I love the sound and smell of nitro/fuel. If you are a mechanical type of guy. And understand how a motor/carb works. And you are looking for more/ different/ challenging style then just plug a battery in and go. And are comfortable with it then GO FOR IT!!!! You can never have enough RCs. More the merrier. But if your just looking for more speed/power. The electric motors have more tourqe. And you can gear either electric/ nitro for speed.
I want my fun now not bench tune drive 1 hr to a place I can run. then try to start after humidity goes up a few along with temp and have a sputter popper. nope . plug and go..
Oh yeah a hr drive. That does suck sorry to hear that man. Like I said the nitro side of RC Can definitely be a pain in the a**. Especially with the tunning because of humidity and temp. But I run rite out side my house. As long as it after 7am and before 10pm. I can make all the noise I want. Plus the neighbor hood I live in is basically all blue collar people. That run around on dirt bike,go carts, side by sides. And anything that has a motor and wheels LOL . It all out ball to the wall FUN around here. LOL sounds like VIOLET from willy Wonka " I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW"
