Electric cars = teh sux. Unless you're a noob, then you need to start out with an electric car unless you're ready for headaches and frustration.

Nitro cars can be fun but a bitch to deal with due to the size and durability that doesnt exist, if your interest in doing forced induction on it i have done it first hand and seen very good results https://www.homemadeturbo.com/forum/...6018#msg686018

i've been racing for 7yrs now all electric.....electric is WAY better....i just sit back and laugh as i watch all the nitro guys try to start there cars for ten minutes just to find out there glow pulg is fucked.....electric is just way easy charge a battery solder it in and good to go...and i'll race a nitro car on a road course any day and not be scared to race it the will own me in the straight aways but once we hit the infield say goodbye
