Love the Nitro. If you're a gear head like me you love getting your hands dirty, tuning it just right. opening up the engine for a little port and polish, You can even re port them to give you a powerband on the low or high side. Part of the fun for me is working on them not just plug and play. batteries sucked when I was growing up but a whole new ball game nowadays. but I'll still take the roar of a finely tuned machine of the whine of a battery. Just my 2 cents.

Nitro attracts all the neighbors to see what all the racket is...I love it!

My nitro cars always drew crowds! The sound, smell faint smoke trails along with dirt roost and dust....... Damnit I want another one. RC10GT & HPI Nitro MT 👍🏾

Dude, I was that kid with the 1/10 scale grave digger! The guy who was race marshal was my grandpa, that was the day I drove that truck on the track for the first time

Both cars are great in my opinion. Electric have sick torque but nitro has higher top speed(I think). Nitro cars makes you sound like your running a chainsaw on wheels. But if all the maintenance on a nitro is annoying, electric is the best choice.

Great video. But I love the nitro much more.

Just one perfect challenge ! Nice over all control & video

awesome!! my buddy just bought a 1/8 nitro buggie cant wait till it comes in to ripp it! its his first nitro rc truck/car so hes pretty excited specially after watching vids like this 1! very nice!

I love the sound of your nitro, sounds awsome

Dude that was such a good race, it was a joy to watch and funny to see you guys being nice to each other even tho there was some intense racing going on.

They tell me Electric is faster but I just love the sound and feel of Nitro.

¡Great vs video! We also love both nitro and electric rcs. We love the Himoto cars, for example, work wonderfully!

It always comes down to the driver. Nice vid. Cheers.

That' looks like a really nice track. I like the design and drivers stand.

I hope neither style dies. Always nice to have variety to watch and choices to make.

Great race track. Amazing race. Subbed!

Awesome looking track wish there was one close

Nice track you have there guys!

Nitro sounds amazing couldn't watch this without the sound

I drive both electric and nitro and i love both. But you cant deny nitro is cooler .

Magnífica pista!

Driver Vs. Driver.

just bought 1/8 scale brushless buggy but damm the nitro engine sounds so nice.

nice vid. A good comparison that so many of us are making when choosing what to run. Its ideal to have both! I have 2 nitro mugen mbx6's and may well e convert 1 just to try it out. A good brushless setup in 1/8 buggy is definitely fast...however a good nitro setup is equally potent on track. The experience of running nitro is definitely more all encompassing/ less sterile.. the sound/fuel/moving parts...elec to me feels easier to be more consistent with, the power more linear, smoother, so easier to control. I used to be en e lover....now i'm more on the fence.nitro can be awesome for a long day at the track, e for a quick blast when time is short. they r both great fun

his engine sounds rich top and bottom end.

that nitro at the beginning sounds like its about to crap itself

great track.

Great video! I have electrics because of low noise. What are you using for hat camera?

Nice comparison. Nitro just evokes speed by way of noise. The electric reminds me of a Tesla - stealthy fast. Ive owned gasoline, nitro, and electric rc cars. My number one complaint was getting the fueled cars running and to stay running. The electric was plug and play. No guessing. Theres something to be said about the noise though. The electric wasnt as fun because it was only a visual experience. The gas and nitros are so much more, and take skill to operate. If yiu want to get into the hobby, buy an electric and learn about wheels, handling, suspension, etc, as they crossover well. Then get a fueled car if you have the skill. If you cant start the fueled car, you still have your electric to play with.

That was a good video, E car was a bit faster but the drivers were matched well enough it didn't really matter, if either bobbled the other passed. Nice job.

TΟ ΚΑΛΗΤΕΡΟ ΒΙΝΤΕΟ ΣΤΟ KZfaq!

Tenshock i love it :D Bl Power Baby ^^

Thanks for the video :) Want some more :)

Sweet track man

Sounds like that nitro engine is running rich

That's nice battle

most electric guys say electric is better than nitro because they cant tune a nitro truck, But nothing better than the sound and smell of some morning nitro, lol

Nice video, and good spirit ;) Electric or nitro: it's a heart choice ! I've one of each, and i like electro and nitro ! (particulary lov'in sound and smell of nitro ;))

All that nitro adjustment.....and electric just WORKS

I would argue that it's also a pain for newbies. Especially where I live the climate changes too often to have a consistent tune.

Yep nitro first... team losi 4.0 team Orion alpha lazy days plug and play nice video...

good lil race

I'm looking to get into !/8 electric. what kind is that?

Nice track !!! Where is this track ?

what batteries where u using in this video if u can remember or what ur using now

Considering everything is equal especially the tires, suspension set-up, servos, radio system and weight of each car, it will be decided upon by who is the better driver and will always be the winner.

Some day i want to see a 1hour main electric race. pit stops would be quite interesting

which one were faster ? and what you think about the 1/5 Gas Buggy ?

I was just there this past saturday. I know Tom pretty well

Teknos eat every other car. Good driving!

that's a dope track.. where?

Nitro al the way! How can you love that inimini electric sound.

Im about to get back into rc cars. Im getting my first ever electric car too. How long do the batteries last?

Now u have 100 subs due to me subbing

proof it comes down to driver and tune.

what brushless motor are u using

whats your Electric truggy's setup?

What kind of buggy is the nitro one?

Love nitro they just take a little longer to spool up then electric and are alot more maintenance

i would say its mostly about the driver now a days because electrics have come along way, but i rather race nitro because it is a lot more fun!

Nitro will never die!

If only you could get a smaller version of the 5th scale engines to fit 1/8th buggies, they're a lot more reliable and so much easier to tune, and cheaper on fuel too.

What motor was that?

with pro drivers driving both cars I believe nitro would be maybe half a second to 2 seconds faster per lap, and don't forget once all your expensive batteries are dead you gotta go home if you race electric but nitro goes until you're out of fuel and thats one of my favorites about nitro, I'd rather tune an engine than screw with getting a battery to charge at the right mah and voltage and having to deal with all that, and I love the sound and smell of nitro. I would say e-buggies shouldnt be a class but for some people I guess it might be easier. I honestly think its just as hard though.

If you already have a motorcycle or boat or hot rod I recommend electric. You already have something that makes noise. But if your only play vehicle is your rc then go nitro.

cool

And a good motor

Im new ro the hobby and have bith nitro and electric both are fun doesnt really matter nitro just feel like more of a car to me having to do maintenance and everything

You mess with electric ur going to get it

Bashing on a track.. Lol Just kidding...... There's several reasons why if never race electric .... It's really up to the driver.... He's the one who makes the difference

So which one won?

Nitro engine is not tuned, way to Rich.

What Brand Nitro?

Nitro Buggy be like: HYAAAAAAAAAAA

0:10 god damnit should have went with xt90's

best nitro vs electric by far

+1 to the young man below me

Love em both but fact are facts electric has come so much further the nitro. Simple technology.

The nitro is really build for racing see it stability it is really good compare to the lightweight electric .

Dang bro, forget the deans connector, pain in the muchacho. Do yourself a favor and get EC5 connectors...pushes way more current.

I take electric because no one complains about noize but nitro because its easy to start and doesnt need to charge in pair like the batteries do

Nice comparison ,but the Nitro should not be giving it gas on and gas off ...blipping it constantly...should be smooth

what kind of buggy's are they kinda thinking the ebuggys is a TLR correct me if I'm wrong and and ain't sure bout the nitro buggy thnx!

That nitro sounds like an Ofna engine. And to lean.

and like others have said. nitro is more for racing, the noise, the smell, and your not overpowering the track. yes brushless is for racing just not as stable. I'd love to know where this track is.

Even if the other was perfectly tuned, electric wins all day. Look at e maxx vs t maxx. It's a ridiculous difference. Electric is less wind and more go. U pull full throttle u go full speed.

yea

Nitro will teach you more and give you more track time, let alone the pleasure of build and bringing to life a nitro car and motor! You find yourself learning by yourself. You only progress with electric rc cars with other racers around. Electric definitely good for racing line practice. Nitro will anger every neighbour within half a mile

My gas powered lasted 44 minutes on one tank of gas ...... Good or bad

what electric is this ? mugen ???

were are u in this vidio

Why don't you get a bit more control on the throttle all that brum brum is not good.

Faehrt er den nitro ein? Oder wieso laeuft er so fett?

All down to the driver realy, nitro and battery are both good just depends what you want, had nitro but too much noise for me so limited where to go as where with brushless, no noise hardly and no hastle!!

Ive only ever raced electric but at a high level of open classes but nitro are sound better are more fun to watch and in the uk we run on astro which in my opinion is better than dirt but how come you get some proper jumps lol

Just an FYI... running all day is NOT exclusive to nitro/gas cars.. only takes 30-40 minutes to charge a lipo battery. A couple of lipos dont cost much more than a gallon of nitro these days. Plus, when that gallon of nitro is empty those lipos will be tearing up the track for another year or two Dont get me wrong, I am not bad mouthing nitro/gas in any way, they are great. Just not sure why there seems to be a misconception about only nitro can go all day.

on your revenge buggy

That's nitro moter is not running right sounds a bit fat

yea but that wasn't a race day . thy a was a free play day

Nitro is more fun you get to work with it more
