I have had 3 in my racing "career" lol, 2 electric and one gas, liked the gas the best but they are of course more expensive, recently bought a used 48V electric with a charger for a grand, works good all race weekend without recharging but if I find another reasonably priced gas I'll sell this one. I started with an electric years ago, traded up for the gas, only sold it (shouldn't have) because I quit racing for awhile and needed the shop space, started racing again now I'm starting all over with electric...lol.
