8th electric/nitro comparison

You'll enjoy your switch to Nitro though Dave, I am. Its not as complex as it seems. I had fun today laughing at my dad getting things a bit wrong, but it was all fun, he couldn't hear me trying to shout him so he didn't know - he weren't listening to my directions beforehand anyway, funny though.

Yeah it was a good fun day, your car was looking good out there as well as the day wore on, even if you did cover me in mud with wheelspin after that double at one point! Cheers for the explanation on the torque stuff etc as well, makes a bit more sense to me now!

i don't know. But my son visited The Nook 2 years ago with his Hyper 7. He had never driven a track in his life. We had spent a couple of hours geting the mixture right. On his second tank the kid was unbelievable. I have never seen a r/c car go so fast ever. I have seen fast. I have seen Li-Po brushless stuff and everything. Never seen anything so fast ever. It must have been fast cos in 6 laps he turned his clutch inside out so it all ended. I would have loved to see anything keep up with him in those few brief moments. Awesome. Now his starter box has bust and he's off at university. Maybe it will never happen again.
