I suppose each to their own ..

every nitro motor I had ,I always spent time to tune the carb before I ran it..sometimes it didn't take long ,other times especially if it was humid out it would take longer.as for your lipos on your brushless rigs ,the only time you need to worry about them being in storage mode 3.8 ,is if you don't plan to use the lipos for awhile.plenty of times I only do a few speed passes and I still have plenty of battery life left..I just use what's left the next day .as long as you don't drop below 3.8.ive gone as low as 3.5 a few times and my lipos are all good.thats also another thing about nitro engines.they noisy and you really can't run them around neighbor's..at least not here.a track or large open park feild is best
I disagree with the faster and lighter part.ive seen nitros weigh way more than a electric.as for speed nitro is not faster..if that were the case then world's fastest record would have been broken by now by a nitro .which isn't the case
