is nitro dead here?

we seem to be talking about electric more and more. these mini t's, the iWavers, there seems to be less and less talk about nitro here?

No way....nitro is still going strong, but it seems lately that this forum has been taken over by 1/10 electric buggies, iWavers and Mini-Ts....not that there is anything wrong with ANY of that (I bought a Mini-T myself!), I love anything thats radio controlled ;)

Either way, once my Savage is completed this week, you'll see and hear about it ;)

i wish i could get a nitro but they r just out of my reach (cost) also they seem daunting as i am hopless at fixing combustion engines but would love 2 learn i always drool over them at hobbyco

i dont think nitro is dead here at all. I still post nitro related news in the main page, and members are still buying/toying with nitro.. for sure.

Nitro will come back big time once Azza figures out how to wack a .21 into the i-weavers ... haha .

About 1/2 price

I love my nitro but everytime I use it I have to fix something, elec is so much more reliable. But I still love the scream of a nitro, nothing can compare to that.

Kyosho MP7.5 Sport RTR $425 Gee thats a great price. They sell heaps in america so i guess they get a great deal from kyosho. Wonder what post would cost as its not a small item to post out. Also you might find customs would hit you with a tax bill unless its posted to you as a gift.

Hes in Hong Kong.
He has a bank account is Castle Hill (Sydney) you direct deposit. He marks it as a gift, therefore no taxes or customs problems.
Postage is very good, as his service, you can't fault.
I get a lot of stuff from him, mainly wheels, tyres, inserts and a few hop ups. Got 3 Tamiya Minis at christmas. They even came with a ESC for $94. The ESC retails at $65 in oz

Highly recomended
