I am getting back into the hobby and I am still deciding on a Electric or Nitro. If Nitro is will be the XXX-NT RTR Sport or Nitro TC3 and if Electric I still haven't decided. How long does a electric stock motor last?

A long time. You can cut the comm down to .230", which is about 30 cuts. You can go more than 15 runs between cuts, so you get more than 450 runs on a motor. Of course, you have to change the brushes occasionally.

Brushes smushes, sure you should change them, but if your just ganna bash don't bother. My friends motor is still running from the 80's without a cutt, or brush replacement.
