Nitro has a learning curve and can get just as expensive as a entry level gas car. start at $500Hello i am new to nitro rc cars and i see gas powered rc cars, but i don’t know which one is more reliable/better, i would just like to know if anyone could tell me which would be easier to maintain or if there are pros and cons to both
Tuning a nitro engine for a noobie is more difficult than tuning a gas engine. Fuel is the biggest problem with tuning and brands are different and weather condition's change. The don't know how to maintain and check the engine condition. All they want to do is run it until something happens and that's when the problems start. Then they start messing with the needles and then it's time for a new engine. Nitro is slowly dying as fuel costs go threw the roof.
brushless is the way to go now.
nitro really isnt much more expensive than it was around 10-15 years ago, gallons of fuel are still right around 30-40$. but price of fuel is also dependent on country and state even.Tuning a nitro engine for a noobie is more difficult than tuning a gas engine.

Well I've been doing nitro for 35 years and the cost had doubled and the quality has gone down with cheap RTR. Quality does come with a price. I switched to gas along time ago. Since 2000 and to maintain them is far less and they have become more affordable now.nitro really isnt much more expensive than it was around 10-15 years ago, gallons of fuel are still right around 30-40$. but price of fuel is also dependent on country and state even.
