Default RC Cars

I am thinking about a Remote Control Car. I know Popeye and Scott have one. I was wondering if gas is better than electric and what brand or size to get. I know they make some of them where you can switch the body of the car as much as you want. Your basically buying the chasis..right?

I've never run a gas car, but I like the electrics.

Cool. What size car do you and Scott have? Or are theree different power ratings? I see there are different options for cars. I like the NSX wide body.

1/10th scale not sure of the metric conversion.Different motors,battery packs and gearing change the power

awd is the easiest to control too

NSX is cool....I wonder if David still has his spare Castrol NSX body

I'll see him tomorrow at TG and let you know
