Anyone play with Nitro/Electric r/c cars?

so does anyone know how to tune the nitro engines? i have a feeling that im going to need to adjust the carbs on all 3 cars when im ready to start running. BTW whats everyone's preferred hobby shop? i know of only 3 in the south bay, sheldon's hobby shop, r/c unlimited and also D&J hobbies
these days, the IN shop is norcal hobbies in UC. they host a couple major events and have off road and on road tracks.
call them up and ask for help for your nitro.
that's why i got rid of mine. i hated the smell. hated buying glo plugs. hated that i could keep the friggin things tuned.
my 1/5 scale GAS truck runs no matter what...
my electrics... well i just have to get them charged.

I am in the process of rebuilding a T-maxx. Just got a 3.3 for it and a few other things. Two of my buddies at work have T-maxx's also. We do "RC" day every couple weeks and meet at the Livermore or San ramon BMX race tracks. Let me know if to ever wanna come.

If anyone has a electric RC drift car for sale let me know. I have a Traxxas rustler VXL for the dirt but I want a drift car. I was looking at an HPI Sprint 2. What do you guys think?
