Electric:
We have 3- TC3's, a B4 and two T4's.
I chose Associated because it's the vehicle to run at our off road
track. We have a few Associated sponsored racers. So when it was time
for us to go on road, I chose the TC3's because of parts availability.

i have never seen an electric compared with a nitro - obviously the nitro is
much faster but as for speed how fast are the electrics??
thanks,

Stock Racing with an electric should get you 20+ mph, which is more than
fast enough for the tight courses favored by electric racers. Nitro racers
usually end up with much bigger courses with huge straight-a-ways so they
can show off their raw speed.
