Agreed. I have beat the crap out of my Stampede and it keeps on going. In my opinion nitro is just too much work and hassle. I just want to play. Electric always works.
^they are awesome. I have (although no longer use) a nitro sport and nitro rustler. I made a lot of modifications to them then ended up combining a lot of parts to make one vehicle. I stopped "playing" with them because nitro is such a PITA. I bet if I had electric I'd still be using them.
My friends had nitro's and electric's. The electric's are SOO much easier, they run every time (just need some spare batteries which is $$$$). They are also faster.
Just beware the price of a GOOD battery. You NEED good expensive batteries or else they melt.
