hey all,

Still new to this site. I tried to search on this site and on the net, but never found what i was looking for. I'm looking to get my son(yea, okay for me too) a REAL rc truck(not that junk at the walmarts). There are a few truck out that we are looking at and will be getting shortly.
I know this is a very generic ? on this, but how long will these trucks run on one tank of gas?

The tmax electric will run 15 mins or so on electric.. Would gas be longer/ shorter then this.

Again i know there are many factors that can effect this, but just a general ballpark.

Thanks

As a very general rule you should get about 10 minutes per tank.... but, you can refuel the truck while it is running so your "run time" is unlimited.

definately go with electric, I got a revo and sold it for a XXX-T, and I am so much happier, I built a track in my backyard and my electric car runs so consistent and my 3300 and 2400 batteries last about 20-25 minutes. (They are the individual cells with deans goodies) I love electric and you can get them to go just as fast.

an elec is prob. faster(if you run a brushless)but nitro gets juices pumping and neighbors mad!
