Not instead of Nitro but as well as Nitro. Also the fact that you do not have to have a pit crew and that I can use the electric near my home without getting dirty looks from people in their houses which is what happens when I have the ntro out.

At least running electric, you don't have to come home from a day at the track smelling to high heaven of odd-smelling chemicals and your neighbor looking at you like you've been cooking crack in the garage.
