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 8)

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)
