well they are if you know how to tune them and take care of them... there is more time and maintance required to keep them running... air filter has to be done every 3-4 runs. gas is lol lets just say $30 a gallon... that you have to buy. yes it depends on the size of the motor but for a off-road truck a larger motor.... more gas... weather and tuning can be a issue. it take a real good ear to hear if its lean or rich. hot or cold. and all this will determine how much power your making. and sluggish the truck is. electric is... charge battery... on switch....

and gas is getting more expensive to. something about the nitro methonal production is china is being lowered or something.... idk... but nitro is nice for the sound which electric has really nothing so you can run it just about anywhere anytime. unlike nitro. im serious when i say the t-maxx and the gas car i have are the last nitro stuff i have. next is that e-maxx brushless... i had the first version of the e-maxx years ago and i killed it really when i went back and forth with that and the nitro car... then i was... "tricked" into getting the t-maxx since i knew the nitro motor and the maxx platform... soo the new 3.3 t-maxx was natural... now they re did the e-maxx... aka e-maxx waterproof. and now updated the gen II e-maxx with a brushless option form the factory... which i didnt have brushless way back when... and after seeing the runtimes and power of a brushless lipo setup.... OMG not going back to nitro at all... a truck can be doing 30-40mph real speed not scale... hit full throttle while going that speed... and pull a wheelie like its nothing. on its way to 60+mph... right there sold me on brushless and lipo and the run times on a good battery can be up to 30-60 mins depending on the truck size and weight and itchy throttle finger. and no gas to buy at 27.99 a gallon.
