Both electric and nitro have their pro's and con's.

It's more of a person to person choice.

Electrics:
Pro's:
- Faster than nitro
- no smoke
- hardly any sound
- no tuning, fuel required
- can be used indoor and outdoor
- plug-n-play
- almost no maintanence

Con's
- speed reduces as battery power drains
- need to have spare batteries if you do not want any wait time between runs when battery is down
- need to wait for long time for the battery to charge before you run again
- does not give the thrill of driving a real kind of a scale car (personal feeling)

Nitro
Pro's:
- quick refill and continue running till you are tired or the fuel is over
- can use 4 AA size batteries in the car
- feels like real
- no waiting time between runs

Con's
- need to be tuned from time to time depending on the location and fuel
- cannot be driven in night in a colony because of the sound
- loads of smoke which sometimes irritates the eyes
- need to know the basics of starting nitro cars and it's care after runs at least
- requires good maintenance and care

Again as I said this is more of a personal choice.

I personally prefer nitro.

If you do not have a budget constrain, then go for electric first and get to know the dynamics of a car and then jump into nitro.

But if u have limited budget, then it's ur choice, I went into nitro directly when I started about 4 yrs back and till date am in nitro only.

Hope this helps.

Being a 1st time to car.. 1st sincere advice, don't go for Used ones..  Electric one do require tuning, the motor tends to get hot if the right battery is not used.. Simple diff between Electric and Nitro..
Electric - Less hassle but higher initial setup cost and low running cost..
Nitro - Headache if don't have the proper setup and guidance, Less initial setup cost and high running cost... Nothing can beat the realism of a Nitro.. If you don't have proper supply of branded fuel, forget nitro.. Locally blended fuel will not help for cars..

Don't go for Buggy if you are intending to Bash, they wont survive... Go for Truggy or Monster Truck..

Cheers..

Mugen Seiki Rules



Best way to hate this hobby. It will run till it breaks. You will hardly find any spares and support. I would not suggest anything less than thundertiger for cars. There are several other visible brands in India. Invest a little more and get a brand that has spares and support. I know many guys who think they should have given the money they invested in HSP to charity.

Hate to say this, please don't be penny wise, pound foolish.

But yours is a childish reason and false information.Just like people who vote for a dominus and ruckus rather then MT4-g3/HPI trophy/ Losi 5T for bashabilty.

My Recent Buy ThunderTiger 1/10 SSK V2 Nitro Truck




... You will hardly find any spares and support. ...

Hate to say this, please don't be penny wise, pound foolish.

HSP spare parts are also available on so many hobby websites.....

What do you mean by Support ?? Do you mean any customer care Huh?

a HSP car is also good for start, I totally agree that it is not tuff as compair to HPI or Traxxas or Losi

But check out the cost, I think If I like rash or fast driving it doesnt mean I should buy mercedes or BMW Sports Model, because they are tuff....

Everyone one have his budget, I am sure He have seen all (Traxxas, HPI etc) price before and then asked for HSP because it matches budjet.

It is same like, I am rich guy and my friend not, and he asked me should I go for swift and I'll say, rather then by a swift u dont buy any car and use ur motorcycle.....

Smiley no one is under grading any brand .. its just the truth being discussed  ... tt maybe of average quality  but its better than hsp while hpi/losi/trx are better than tt  ..  Wink  everyone has a option to choose from according to their budget and requirement  . important part is u should have fun with the car not repair it all the time

Yes, you are right parvesh, if we are here for enjoyment then why we are worring about tuffness, part and support.

the part was in blog is  "Best way to hate this hobby. It will run till it breaks"

Common if I have Honda Car it doesnt mean I say these words to low end car..........Is it make any sense ??

Kapil : Just asked for HSP ? So if we really want to help him then answer his query about HSP or just ignore the thread.
