2023 I'm still burning nitro.

Why?

Because 1/8 scale nitro cars, buggies are strong.

If I buy an electric anything in 3 months it's trashed.

I just found a few new era retro 2wd 1/8 scale pan cars. Adorable too.

So I guess 2wd nitro is on the way back.

Not many can afford 700 for just a kit for on road but 400 is doable for a light 3.5cc pan car.

Serpent and Mugen really killed the hobby by not offering anything affordable. 

Sure beautiful cars but not everyone needs a race spec car.

 

Now running a old Ofna Ultra MBX R2

Dumas hawk hydroplane

I simply hate electric except for scale crawlers.

Nitro rules 😂 

it’s sad many hobby shops are coming away from nitro :(

A lot of shops are steering away from nitro these days as people prefer electric brushless as there easier and faster but I love nitro not all about the speed for me it’s the running them and getting the tuning spot on  it’s rewarding when you get it right so aslong as people buy them there will still be a market it’s purely down to preference imo

It'll never die!

I'm not but I'm glad they still sell them!

Nitro's not dying. You just need to keep pulling at the cord, heat the plug, tweak it, pull at it a bit more, spray some WD40 in, tug a little longer. In the end it will come back alive.
