Are Nitro Engines Hard to Maintain

[R/C Kid]

I have heard that Nitro engines are hard to get running and keep running i ain't shure whetther to get the T-Maxx or the E-maxx O wan't to know about the T-Maxx's reliability

If I would have known the T-Maxx is as big of a pain in the butt as what it is before I bought it, I would've got the E-Maxx. The T is a blast to drive while it's running, but I've had it for about a month, and have had it running about 10% of the time, the rest of the time I've been working on it. http://www.rccaraction.com/ubb/mad.gif

i agree with just dune it if you havent had at least a few electric vehicles go for the e maxx because i had the same problem with nitro and unless you know a LOT about these things first you wont know whats wrong until you take it to the hobby shop which is a pain when its very far away

P.S. ive had me nitro monster truck since july and have had it running about 2 weeks total this whole time
