I've got an electric Tamiya TL-01. It's 1:10 scale, 4WD and I've got a Futaba Attack T2ER controller.
Old school
Edit: oh and it's got a Ferrari 360 shell which is painted black.

dont have the time for such rc cars, so im not voting
but if i had to choose, i'd go for a petrol/nitro setup for these reasons:
1) i love the smell of the fuel... electric = blehh.....
2) i like the sound of the engine... electric = blehh X 2
3) i prefer the petrol/nitro karting expreience to an electric car experience (tried them both)

You forgot that most petrol (not all ) can go faster then a electrical one

i just got a HPI Nitro car from e Hobbies.it came with a Subaru Imperza Touring body but i got a Black cougar body instead. I was gonna get that Fusion R/C BMW car from Shoemacher that goes 80 mph.But i rather have a nice cheap concourse/Touring car instead.
