what??
sorry if this offends but you are a biased idiot for making such a comment.
electrics are fast yes and can be EXTREMLY fast BUT NO WAY would they ever compare to a two stroke proper petrol zenoah engine, this is what the hobby is all about, REALISIM!!! sorry thread starter but if you have sore knuckles from trying to start the engine then you are doing something very wrong,and you neither have enough expierience or you just have a crap piece of kit which is breaking too much.cause a zenoah engine is simple as could be to run and maintain it,was it the rest of the car that was breaking around the engine???
don't delude yourself thinking your electric motor will work better,unless you have a chassis good enough to take the power it's going to be the SAME THING.it will keep letting you down!! so if you are going to pay that much for a relibale electric model to get chassis up to scratch to handle the power,imagine the 1/5TH competition model you could get for the same money??
you could get an fg-leopard race,an extremly bulletproff racing chassis that does not ever break,or any of the other racing models,now these are the petrol RC/'S that are the pinacle of the 1/5th world,no electric model could ever compare to one of these.
it's just a simple point i'm trying to make,i doubt very much if it was the engine that let your car down,maybe it was everything else,so natrually what are you going to do when your elec kit arrives,BEEF everything else up to cope with the power,by the time you have that done how could you possibly come back and say/compare your electric kit to a gasser and say it's better,you can't compare a sportline chassis/entry level chassis to a competition gasser,and by the time you will have your elec kit finished this is the money level you may be on par with a full on comp 1/5th. now there as i say is where you will find reliability.
so please stop with comments such as ELECTRIC IS BETTER cause not in a long shot are they even close!!!
90percent of users buy an R/C with a petrol/gas engine for the fact that it just has an engine like the real full scale veichles,no other reason,that's the main attraction the engine,smoke,noise,power,realisim!!!
if you are going electric then you are better off watching paint dry,i know and i can say with confidense that 95percent of users would agree that anyone will/would tire of electric FAST.....
one exception unless you RACE electrics, but for bashing it's POO.......
the idea and the concept is very simple,you need to put the work with a petrol gasser to see the results,but nothing beats watching your gasser revving out smothly tank after tanks and you pride yourself in the fact that you tuned it,you finally got it right,it is running lovely tank after tank and always starts perfect,why- cause you finally have it tuned to perfection,that is joy form a gasser,this is the part you strive for,to learn about that engine and get it running yourself,when you learn this it becomes a real joy, now on the other hand the electric,WHERE IS THE JOY? where is the pride in your ability to get that motor running and tuned,??? it's just too simple now,no challenge....
plug and play??? = boring....washing machne ........
sorry it's just not the same thing and it never would be,i bet if you asked any true offroad racer in the 1/1 scene,be it offroad racing or onroad circuit racing or rally,if you told them all the engines were going to be replaced with electric/prius like engines what would the reaction be??? i bet they would say they wouldn't be intrested.
