I perfer nito and petrol over electric, as unless you have a lot of battery packs you can only go out for a hour or so, with petrol you can just keep adding more petrol and the rx/tx batterys lasts for ages i have 2 sets of batterys when i go out and i normally get bored of driving or break something before runnung out of fuel / battery power ..with electric i used to go out and be back after half an hour and then sitting around the living room for hours waiting for batterys to charge, All said tho each have there place for starters electric being cheeper and all they are great and also want to get a lil eletric micro truck for the home if the wife will come round to that idea!! lol
