Mix it up a bit, give a gas/nitro car a try. Would be easy to stay electric, and modern electric is so good that there isn’t really an advantage to going nitro other than the experience and something new to learn.

If you like to tinker then go for a nitro if you're the type who like to spend more time running than wrenching then stay with electric.

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.

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"
