it don't matter if nitro or electric fast or slow their both fun as fuck so have fun with both.
Greag Mcsmith and this is the correct approach :D
Yeah o know. You were speaks g truth as was I. :-)
+Greag Mcsmith that's the rc racer spirit xD :D :p
+Greag Mcsmith both are fun.. but i'll stick with engine.. because it is wayyy more fun
+madearisp you cant race the engine rc at night while neighbors sleep, electrics you can
Electric is like watching porn with no sound
20spray1 😂😂😂
Lol. Yup. Wack !!!
paulkazjack lol wow good one, you sound like you prefer electric, in the same way you prefer to take it up the rear
Fucking lol
Let's see do I want to hear a weed Wacker tacked out whinning or something nice and quiet......Hmm tough choice.
Electric is superior. It's instant power. Not to mention easier to deal with and get going. There's just something about internal combustion, though. I love me some nitro engines.
The smell ND the sound it's more stimulating for ur senses
The overall max speed and acceleration depends heavily on the handling and the skill of the driver. Rc cars are very prone to flipping and it is hard to keep them in a straight line under heavy acceleration. The race between internal combustion rc and electric rc is still undecided. There are many internal combustion and electric rc cars that are capable of reaching extreme speeds that make both of these cars seem very slow by comparison
There are a lot of advantages to certain nitro cars over electric ones as well. They don't require expensive lithium batteries, and Very overpriced brushless motors. The engines are actually cheaper and cost less to maintain. If you're considering getting into it I highly recommend it. Obviously electric RC cars are usually a little faster, but I think you might enjoy the nitro fuel rc cars aswell
Nah nitro all day everyday
If you understand the basics og electric motors, and Nitro engines, then you will know that electric motors produce a lot more torque, and at almost zero rpm. And if the electric motor and the nitro engine is rated at the same HP and geared the same way, the electric motor will always win in a drag race.
thus guy speaks truth
+Vitaliano Castillo Sure..Synthetic vs natural. What is key here is that my 10 year old can plug in a batterhy battery to do what the electric does...but very few, and I mean VERY FEW can get down with nitro. That is the difference. One is real, the other is not. Ha ha. Electric guys...I'm just teasing. Put ya'lls purses down
+Nitro RCNerds I didnt mean it in a bad way lol its the same as electric and petrol cars I prefer petrol
+Torben Lien Ljungberg Meyhoff Exactly,with all things being equal,torque wins races.
"Torque wins races"? What does that mean? I don't get that. I thought I understood torque attributes and they affect a vehicles ability to get from point a to point b....but don't understand this statement. Additionally, what ol' Torben said makes zero sense to me at all. Would one of you please educate me? I'm just an ol country bumpkin trying to learn this stuff.
Got both electric and nitro, electric for just the simple fact plug and go. Nitro you got glow plugs, pull starting, and your car gets covered in oil.
I personally prefer the nitro, simply because it has more of a 'realistic car' sort of feel to it, just my opinion though
+Xyaxe you say my words :)
+basgetz no, only no
I agree, also they don't have to be recharged.
XD about nitro cars, you need to pay for the nitro and they are very loud and they cannot, CANNOT go backwards
and you can run them for a day if you bring fuel with you, i only own an electric but i would much prefer the nitro
both cool, but Engines are fun even when they aren't moving
Nitro is for the next level hobbyist, the one who enjoys working on their model. Electric seems too easy...kinda like a Prius...
With all due respect, you know nothing. Electric is faster. Btw the speed record is 203mph. Gas is not even close.
@@brianheaton5521 just cause it's faster doesn't make it funner.. you haven't made a point. If you knew anything about the hobby you'd understand that there's a big difference between gad and nitro engines and models
Difficult to make a real comparison between nitro and brushless...
Because, it's impossible to have the real 100% equivalent in each categories...
But it's a good video for people who love ALL RC cars... 👍‼️💯🛢️🔥🏁🏎️🤓🇨🇵
Whenever i see comparisons like this i ask two questions,
1. Are the gear ratio's the same?
2. Is the motor/esc an equivelant value to the nitro engine?
Chris Salter what about weight too
Gear ratio is important comparing the same engine but in this case is meaningless.
And we are not talking about a car but about a toy, so I don't see why weight and power should be important for you.
You should only compare size and price.
PS: in real cars electric vehicles have more acceleration even though they weight more
@@SuperSerNiko97 3. What crappy music will be playing over the video?
@@SuperSerNiko97 weight is very important. And the boxes read that these are not toys but hobby grade scale race cars. Weight, aerodynamics all very important here. Same chassis should be used though. Gearing isn't the issue though and most nitro engines have have more torque down low not electric cars. Nitro punch is huge down low with low gearing. My 8th scale nitro buggy with 13/46 gearing can out punch any 6s lipo electric buggy any day and at 16/46 gearing can meet its top speed too so idk. It's really an age old oranges vs lemons comparison.
Ok the pros and cons of gas and nitro starting problems electric esc issues like catching on fire 🔥 due to having too much power or the esc can’t handle stress like a engine can ether way if a engine blows up it won’t blow your car up unlike a electric with 2 6s bombs on it lol and a esc that may say fuck this and burn your car down
Nitro = Speed
Electric = Acceleration
BASICALLY: we could have a whole debate over which is more important but really its 50 - 50
nitro any day realistic, engine n exhaust sound ..
watch there be a hybrid rc cars being made
Thing with batts is you need loads of them to have a good day out. That's a lot of money . Where the nitro you just need a tub of juice and your set for thr day
I prefer electric as i dont have the time for the maintenance....if i need more power, i can change a gear, get a new motor and lithium ion baterries....other than that, i do love the appeal of nitro, but dont have the time to deal with finicky starting, and maintenance....
Electric is more faster
I have both Nitro and Electric. Nothing like the smell of Nitro in the morning. The Electric is just too easy, charge and run. Nitro is a pain to re-tune but sounds fantastic. Each have their advantages that is why I have both.
The only music that should be on this video is the sound of the tuned exhaust pipe.
Great race between both, I personally love electric but never had a nitro yet.👍
+Noeys fastrc the biggest advantage of electric ones is, theyre easier to handle, so like cleaning, starting (compare: electric: click and on/ nitro: well...try to start it if its cold...the struggle is real XD) and all the stuff you need for the nitro...(starter equipment and so on), but i personally love the nitro more XD i had both so i was able to decide between them
+1RCHunter They really arent that hard to start. Especially with starter boxes
Pugs
i have one myself :D well...sadly no starterbox...
aaand my engine is destroyed...whyever the connecting rod broke... may have been dirt in the egine...but where from??
does anybody have a R21 force engine and doesnt need it anymore? ;)
+1RCHunter Dirt can get in from the glow plug hole and an old filter. Personally before i remove my glowplug i pray some high pressure degreaser or get an air compresser and blow it down the head and for my filters i buy pre oiled filters from rb and wrap them in 'vet wrap' and change the wrap every 3 tanks depending on conditions. Then i toss the filter in the bin after a race day or half a gallon of fuel cause reusing filters is not very safe in my opinion. Breaking the con rod was mostlikely a fluke but things that put stress on it is running too rich for too long after a breakin (blubery rich) or going to hard on the throttle with little fuel through the engine. Hope i helped
Pugs
thank you :) i will look into it...maybe ill see what happened... i suppose some dirt got in via glow plug... because all filters are perfectly maintained... :/
I always liked the noise of nitro engines, but I’m over it. I hate the preparations needed to store nitro cars away for the season and when you finally get it out, usually takes 15-20 mins to get it to start... that’s if you don’t end up breaking the pull start. Lol.
nitro 4 ever
Think of nature and electric is quite, and fast
Great Vid. Love both.
i love nitro :-)
Junio Armando go nitro
Electric is better
Interesting comparison to watch. Pros and cons for both for both. I prefer Nitro mainly due to the sound... but as battery energy density is further developed, I suspect we will see electric leave Nitro way behind in the coming years... If someone had told me ten years ago that electric would soon be able to compete with Nitro I don't think I'd have believed them
nitro
I'm A Nitro Fan But Just By Watching This Video I Can See The Electric Seems Just That Little Bit quicker but at the end of the day having an engine to tinker with is half the fun.
Top speed of both seems similar but acceleration from the electric is where it wins out everytime. This is to be expected because electric motors have instant full torque response from the get-go while an engine must spin up to make power and torque.
On a track, it comes down to driver skill and technique, and there is the fact that a nitro can get on the power earlier than electric, making it faster out of turns. In those circumstances, unless both drivers are equal, a nitro will probably win on technical, twisty tracks every time because they can rapidly blip the throttle and keep the engine in the ideal powerband with its clutch spinning while electric can't do that without causing wheelspin and a potential fishtail, which will make it lose time in said turns.
Personally, I love nitro. The sound, the smell, the tuning, everything about it is worth it, but electric has its time and place as well, especially in the winter when nitro engines typically don't enjoy being used and are difficult to get the proper temps into so they run happily and optimally. At the end of the day, whichever one makes you smile the most is all that matters!
Im a downhill mountainbiker. I love it when I can push my bike hard and I hear no noise... just the dirt hitting my frame and tires grabing the surface.
Thats why I like Elektro more 😉
Electric will usually win since it’s instant torque
Prova molto poco indicativa, il rapporto di velocità determinato dalla componentistica tecnica dei mezzi (modellini) calcola improbabili caratteristiche finite dei mezzi (modellini) stessi. Pertanto la prova è al quanto non attendibile. L' aspetto spettacolare ci può essere, ma la consistenza reale no! " il modellinaio " saluta tutti gli appassionati!
I chose nitro for myself. The reason for this is because I run off road and often run my truck for 4 hours at a time non stop. Topping off the fuel tank literally takes 5 seconds and I'm off again with the same power from full tank to empty. I'm also deep woods with no electric or car around to charge up batteries. Electrics do have more torque initially but batteries take longer to switch out than a top off on fuel. Tuning is a bit of a challenge on some days but once you get that sorted you can have hours on non stop fun with just seconds to refuel. I love it for the ability to go hours with minimum pit stop time. A top off of fuel is just quicker than a charge and swap. Just my opinion
Ryan96se doesn't the motor get overheated if you drive for hour. I have a electric buggy and I have six batteries and I can drive for a long time with that. Changing batteries doesn't take long like 10 sec and you're of. Of course it takes about 1 hour per battery if they are empty but often they still have some power left so less then a hour. I charge them when it is dark out or if I don't drive. And with nitro you have to buy fuel and that could get expensive fast. With batteries you buy a battery and then you never have to buy it again. And nitro let out gases that are dangerous but electric doesn't do that. Btw I like nitro I just prefer electric
I may get an electric car just to try one out. I would like to add that batteries do wear out, are also expensive, not usually disposed of properly and contain chemicals that are highly toxic to you and the environment. Lithium Polymer batteries are also well known for catching fire when pushed to their limits. Most people don't know that the manufacturing process of rechargeable batteries is more harmful to the environment than an internal combustion engine will release in dangerous emissions in its entire life. I get enjoyment out of having to know and tune my car. I see that as part of the Hobby. Most folks these days just want instant gratification. Pop in a battery and go. It is the easier way and a quiet option for sure. They're freakin fast when they're charged up. Electric engines overheat as well as Nitro but on a nitro engine just open up the fuel mixture and rip on. More fuel you dump in the cooler the engine will get. No down time unless you seriously ignore your engines signs of overheating.
hi, I have both, one Hyper VS electric (among others) and a Kyosho DRX Nitro. You guys are both right :-). Nitro cars take some time to setup properly, and you also have to charge the glow starter, but once you're running, you can just keep refilling the tank until you get tired, but you have to check temps as well... I always stop the engine after two tanks as a precaution. On the other side, the electric car needs to stop as well to let the motor cools down, but it requires less setup, you just plug the battery and off you go, and it can deliver all the power since the beginning while the nitro car needs to get the right temperature (like a real car).... they are just different, I love both :-D
Hell of alot less maitenance on a electric motor... plug n play.
Quinney84 people that buy a nitro like that stuff and buy it for that reason...
electric is for simpletons that cant tune. the maintenance and the learning is part of the hobby.
@@xXJBrutalXx I think nitro is for people who don't know how to use apostrophes. They just cant understand them.
Y’all r just gonna waste ur time on nitros electrics are the bestttt
Going with that, nitro is really cool to bring attraction to people to see what is happening, because its so loud! :D
One is dirty...one is clean...one does 12 minute mains...one does 1 hour plus mains....thats the choice....
Mork Zockorborg i can run my e buggy around 30 minutes on 1 4s lipo
You can drive 1 hour on a tank?
Pit stops stoops....
Yeah well just like you fill nitro electric owners just switch battery
Henrik +1
nice! they seem pretty similar, but it's nitro all the way for me :) I need to get my cars out again :)
breh electric is ways better!!!!!!! but pls get a proper fast brushless combo for your car, there are so many brushless combos which can go more than 120 mp/h boi (with proper pinions)
yes and they will keep on slipping and spinning on the corner till the battery swells a couple of laps later. electric rc = shit
For all the hype about electric, were all these runs done on a fresh battery, or just one? With electric, power declines as weight remains the same. With nitro, power remains constant as weight decreases. I have gas, electric and nitro airplanes with nitro being my favorite, though running them for 52 years makes me rather familiar with their quarks. Gas, is just a lot cheaper to find and acquire.
Nitro is a pain in the ass to learn but once you do, it's fantastic. more tunable, more visceral, between the smoke the feeling of reverberation you get in your chest as it wizz's by giving you that audible feedback clearly telling what the car is doing and, it can run indefinitely. And if you're a gearhead working on the engine is an entire hobby in itself. Batteries will always be a pain in the ass, charging batteries sucks, changing batteries sucks, more often then not too much bottom end and power, one pack is always different from the others, WAY more expensive and it's just boring in comparison (no noise, smoke, feeling). Batteries only positive is that they're great for beginners, short races and just messing around.
Nitro😍😘
i m not an electrical man
I from mechanical 💪
TLS creative ////////////Teman you mean ‘I from India’
Stfu ur Indian u ain’t no mechanic nitro is not for u Indian scammer
look like a pretty even race to me until the nitro runs out of gear that's where a two-speed transmission comes in
Great video man. Haven't seen to many nitro vs electric races like this so i really enjoyed it. What engine was in the losi?
Mini inferno st 09 there's no video how to setup assemble it out of the box. How to connect the battery how to install servo motors init how to install the remote and the module . Can someone plz make a video
It depends some gas rc cars are superior to electric it just depends what brand RC car u run yes the brand of RC car matters and if it has any upgrades like aluminum carbon fiber or titanium parts it always makes a gas car lighter on it's wheels and lastly the brand of engine u use the size of the engine and the type of gas used to make it run..electric is superior to most nitro rc cars when it comes down to 2 stroke gas cars though a good amount of the time the two stroke gas RC cars are superior only because the two stroke gas cars usually come ready to run with the lowest cc being a 30cc engine if u tune it right you'll smoke an electric rc car no problem and the highest cc engine you can get for a nitro car is if I'm not mistaken a 4.6cc and the fastest you can make a nitro car go with the biggest engine on it is about 65mph to 75 if u put all aluminum and carbon fiber upgrades and tune it for performance.... the two stroke gas RC cars can get up to 49cc engine's at least that's the biggest iv ever seen them being sold in a hobby shop for a 2 stroke gas RC car the 2 stroke 30cc stock engine's alone can hit 70 if tuned right the 2 stroke RC cars are almost every time superior to electric but like I said it really just depends on the car the upgrade parts you put on it and the engine and gas used to run your car but if its superiority over electric you're looking for get a two stroke gas RC car and put a 49cc engine in it or customise it an build a wide body kit and throw an 85cc engine in it then ull have no problem beating electric😜🤯
good vid, but ya'll shudda raced somewhere without rc car killin' kerbs either side of a narrow street! lol A huge Mall car park with very few obstacles or a large field wudda been much better! Then ya'll could have concentrated on racing instead of worrying about crashing into the rc car killer kerbs either side of ya'll!
I just figure wich one has a longer play time. I think a gas engine would go longer on one tank vs an electric on one charge. Plus all those expensive batteries and electronics. Gas seems more rewarding and longer play time.
You waste more money on maintenance and fuel for nitros in the long run tho. Also if you have an electric you have at least a 2 batteries minimum, any less and you’re a psycopath😂
Electric is faster due to less weight
FOR ME ALL RC TOYS LIKE PLANES, HELICOPTERS ,CARS,TRUCKS TRAILERS AND MORE RC HAVE TO SEE AND HEAR REAL...AND ONLY NITRO AND GAS ENGINES CAN MAKE REAL..
Yes, electric is faster and accelerates faster. Yes, electric is cleaner. Yes, electric has better torque...
Electric can evolve a lot but it will never be like nitro.
Electric is just accelerating and braking and changing batteries.
Nitro isnt only that. What is better about nitro is refueling in 5 seconds, fixing everything by yourself, tinkering the engine, smoke, smell, sound....
That is something electric will never have.
Smelling that sweat smell, the white smoke and the sound in the cold days are something that electric will never have.
But thats for people who like mechanic. If you just want to race no matter everything else or want just to run 2 times a month no maintenance get a electric.
But for me tinkering, smell smoke etc... are part of the hobby.
Team nitro
my electric buggy will kick nitro ass
I do not know much about this because I'm new but I like nitro more, I think it's fast
I just bought a 300$ nitro rc and it wont start
Lol I had the same issue. My glow plug was bad I replaced it and it started. Check your glow plug if you didn't already.
Also before you assume glowplug is bad, did you remember to actually plug it in and charge it.
@@kennethwhite9720 Yeah that is true.
@@kennethwhite9720 but wait when do you mean by charge it. He has a gas one.
Fantastic comparison video 👍👍👍I actually prefer electric less hassle plus I can't be doing with the whining motor, just saying, liked and subbed you my friend 😊😁😊
real nice and fast
C'était nécessaire cette musique pourrie en fond sonore ???!!!! 😬😠
Who won the race electric rc or nitro rc?
Throw a 10000mah battery in it and the outcome may be a bit different but good vid keep up the good work
put a TNS LRP .32 with 7.4 HP and the out come may also be different
I think you have swapped the digits! 4.7HP already sounds hard to achieve.
ha ha ha, its dyne tested
dyno*
Even with the supercharger and NOS it wouldn't get what you claim, so I'll believe it when I see it. Thanks!
Do we need to fill the car with fuel(nitro methne).,if so where will it be available?
I like nitro because it is so easy to modify and upgrades are not always expensive
nitro is a joke.... and obnoxious, like there owners ....lo,...
l no really
Make the sound of the Nitro but that's about it. Electric is always more efficient. The Nitro hangs pretty good though.
go electric
Nahh guys always go for electric they are the key for race buggy and races.
Reason:
Nitro: If the nitro car flips and rolls or gets in water, it can cause lots of care to get it up and running again. Plus when nitro is in a street or in built up areas, it's loud and really loud if people are in there houses. Also when you go to the RC hard ware the Nitro is really expansive to buy, and that is including the parts for it as well when something broken or something to add it is really pricey to get.
Electric: With electrics they are easier to fix and construct addons and ect on the electric RC car. Also with the electric RC cars they are much more safer if you crash in to a gutter or a wall, reason for that is if you smash something on it, it's electric, and what i mean by that is that, the electrics aren't that damaged, where the Nitro car can get broken and the fuel pump will be hard to fix and repair, in you're time.
Also much more quite to run.
ELECTRICS WAY TO GO
NITRO FUN TO PLAY IN AIR FIELDS WHEN IT IS LOUD
+thr0nic I've been Racing RC cars for many years now and I've had them all, nitro and electric. I currently own a B5M Lite 1/10th scale electric buggy, and a Sc5m 1/10th scale elec. SCT both the newest from Team Associated. (About to order an RC8B3)
Nitro cars are alot more expensive A LOT, a race performance engine is $600? My elec. race performance brushless sensored motor, top of the line, best you can get was $150. Thats a Huge difference. 1/8th scale nitro kits $500-$600? Both my kits together were less than $600.
Also as long as i've been doing this I've never caught fire from a Lipo battery, and ive hit walls, trees, curbs, cars, etc...worst is you break lots of stuff, usually my esc and motor are ok.
Also its alot easier to charge a battery and go than to continuously be tuning a nitro car to run right. This just isnt as convenient to run as elec. cars are.
I like both but i understood what TRYTOGAME was trying to say, my local track is going to start doing 1/8th scale nitro but only on Sunday afternoons for a reason, and that's because of the inconvenience and noise. I will be joining the 1/8th scale nitro class once we start doing it, but I honestly doubt it'll be consistent enough to keep it going. It'll die out eventually.
+thr0nic So you prefer for me to compare none existing 10th scale nitro race kits to 10th scale electric kits? (offroad) There's a reason why I compared 1/8th to 10th scale, because I was referring to racing not bashing. don't be an arrogant douche, otherwise no one will like you ;)
+thr0nic You lost your debate against real logic and your feelings are hurt because no one wants to play with you and your 1/8th scale nitro cars. It's very simple, every has the freedom to choose whatever they like, the majority of people including race tracks in California are ALL for 10th scale electric, not like we actually have a choice, we have 1 true 8th scale rc track within a 100 mile radius. So really you're just being a troll, we all know your kind, and that's why you get as far as receiving a ;) from me.
+thr0nic Please save yourself from responding back, I know you're feelings are hurt and have a desire to rage over the computer, probably going to start smashing shit, but keep cool dude, breathe and shake it off, you'll find a friend some day man, but you got to get off your fat ass and stop playing video games all day and fighting with people over the internet. THAT'S NOT LIFE MAN!
Phrge
Nitro sounds terrible. Worse than a Honda Civic with a fart cannon. Take the electric all day. Funny how real cars follow RC cars (gasoline used to be the quickest, now the quickest production car is electric).
RZEZZZ Kids.
Nitro 4 ever
I wish nitro engines could be reliable over time. I still have mine. They don't work anymore. Converted them to electric. Still fun but lacks the experience of a nitro.
i have both nitro and electric but i like to play nitro rc....
There's more involved in just nitro or electric...gear ratio has EVERYTHING to do with the speed and acceleration...all in all ELECTRIC Brushless motors with Lipo batteries have beaten most nitro by a pretty big margins the Last 13 yrs
I love nitro all the way. And I also love electric all the way. Got me a nice picco .21 in my exceed 1/8 buggy (madfire). And got me a 4cell lithium battery in a basher sabertooth truggy. Love both, still waiting for good weather to run the MadFire!
They always find the most watered down brushed electric car lol. There are brushless trucks doing 100+ with a gear change lol.
Always the same mate. It's the Nitro crew. They dont like the electrics
Electrics like watching tv with the sound turned off.
Although my traxxas slash oba sounds sweet 😄
Nitro for bashing electric for racing. That's what I do, I've got my 2wd electric Slash with the lower center of gravity kit and various other upgrades for racing and a 4wd Nitro Slash (mostly stock because I love the way the suspension looks) for bashing
Its become more of a preference. Nitro's are for the tinkering guys that like to hear a engine. The electric is for people that want a reliable/waterproof rc they dont have to fiddle with everytime they take it out.
I hate Nitro its expspencive loud and harder to start
🏁🚗🚓✌️😎
nitro is awesome, not as fast as electric but still awesome. everytime im at the park with nitro rc cars people are just drawn to it. especially kids, they get a kick out of them!
I have been in RC for 30 years and to answer the question for everyone is electric or nitro better the simple answer is it depends if I went by which car I pull out most often it would be electric but there's nothing like a nitro
I prefer electric both for ease of use and the ability to run them day or night. Also when I'm corner marshaling at the local track I really prefer electric. Those nitros will make you death.
I have one of each . traxxas nitro slash with 3.3 engine and a traxxas electric bandit vxl with brushless motor. enjoy the nitro slash better than the electric bandit. nitro is funner
In my opinion i think electric is better to use and turn on, but the gas powered ones are extremely complicated to use. Though they have a lot of torque but they are loud and quite dangerous
lets face it. nitro is becoming a thing of the past with all this new brushless/lipo gear thats now out. instant torque, power etc with absolutely insane top end punch and to top it off, minimal maintenance. nitro cars can no longer keep up.. but despite this i always still seem to reach for my old Thunder tiger ek4 or traxxas revo over my axials or my utimate 4x4 slash... u just cant beat the sound, smell and raw power of a nitro vehicle. particularly one of the likes of the ek4. nitro powered cars are dying.. but we cant forget that they made the hobby what it is today. weather u admit it or not
+Dan Goodellis that smell is killing the planet. nitro and internal combustion engines must die
+lcw1980 each to their own
I can make the sound of a Tesla
...,.................
and a lambo
BRAAMMMMNMMM BRAMMMMMMM VROOOOO9OOOOOOOOOO
buy a traxxas jato 3.3 and let everybody eat your dust.
It's would be more fair being the same car by the same brand, losi and kyosho have different qualities
Lol i love it ...you better charge your batteries...NICE 5UNE ON THAT RB
what system was the kyosh running....orion vortex 8 ?? and what gears were in either of them and how many cells was the electric using???
Epic rc All the electronics was stock on Kyosho (Team Orion ESC 140A & 2100Kv Team Orion NEON8 Brushless Motor). The only change was pinion gear 14T (stock was 12T), which gives about 50 km/h (31miles). Batteries - 2 x 2s 5900mAh 60c discharge.I don't know what gears were in Losi but i know was completely stock (engine, gear, etc.).
Best superb
Nitro long duration motors , much cost $$
Electric less durability, low cost $$
You should take the tornado s30 nitro and epx. I know the nitro will hit around 60 mph stock, no clue the epx.
Great now I know my car nitro is the best
I would never pick nitro because it’s so loud neighbors complain, electric is quiet like you could ride it at night
Seems just like real cars, electric has more torque and bottom end, gas/nitro has more top end power / hp
if they installed a speaker in the electric car that makes the same sound as the nitro car, that would be cool.
or you just take the real one
I can't believe i have to ask this on a vid named nitro vs electric drag race but here i am. Soooooo...who won?
Nitro - nice for quick refill and nice for noise. Not so good is that very same noise and the pain in the ass the motors can be sometimes.
i like video
Nitro is best. :D
Jonathan Ramirez well it's not all about speed, people prefer nitro because it's more realistic and they like the sound and the smoke
Jonathan Ramirez no need to rude about mate
Tomik Dekrik
depends what people like nitro you have to buy fuel and electric you have to charge the battery
As someone who has both I can tell you nitro is satisfying when tuned right, and it feels awesome at the track. But electric is on another level performance wise, with 6s, they're simply more powerful and much faster. But again you don't get that raw sound. I'd say they're both equally as fun but electric you don't have to bother with fuel, tuning, bump starting, stalling, glow plugs etc. So for me personally electric takes the win.
Nitro is more interesting for me....working on the car makes it more of a hobby.....I also prefere to hear a real combustible engine,and the way it responds to sound pitch.....smoke....smell....etc... makes it more exciting for me...also no power fade, and longer running times.
I like my electric cars to.....they are less hassle, and easy to get ready for a quick bash...not as much fun overall for me..but much more convenient...not so messy as Nitro...and less to carry when out in the field...so to speak.
Hobbyist since 1979.
Only thing better about nitro is the sound, i switched from nitro to electro over 10 years ago
Besides the fact we can't tell which one is which, I think its safe to assume petrol is still king and will remain so for at least another 3 decades.
cyc00000 Unfortunately both cars were blue, nitro car had a white wing. At the beginning I tried to sign which is which and at the start they were always on the same side. (not entirely agree with -" I think its safe to assume petrol is still king and will remain so for at least another 3 decades" - perhaps because my car was electric, but of course I can be wrong).
Crazy RC Toys haha you're right man, I agree with you re; nitro vs elec, I was just being a little sarcastic :-) Good job with the video tho, youtube is ace.
cyc00000 u can see the smoke coming out the nitro
Stunter 5 I call bullshit.
***** petrol for the win. I'm looking to get a diesel RC buggy for better economy.
Electric is way better than nitro because you end up spending way less on electric than nitro because once you have all the electronics and the battery that's it you don't have to spend any more money! Nitro on the other hand you have to constantly keep refilling with nitro or gas depending on which type you have and that uses up way more money over time than electric. I may get a Losi 22 this summer which will be awesome!!
They're both equally expensive in different ways IMO.
+J. Butt yes but in the long run your paying more money for gas or nitro cars and trucks
+Mitchell Morgan True, but electric is more expensive up front, and the parts burn up and wear out just the same. Honestly, I've spent tons of money on both. Each has its pros, but I really don't think one is more economical than the other. I mean, it's not like batteries, ESC's, motors, etc. never wear out.
This is an unfer test you can upgrade mother and stuff that means that you can't test nitro vs electric
