I worked out the price difference once.
Starting off with a roller buggy, about $550 for a pro kit of some kind (averaging the price out) Nitro:
Electric:
Electric is more expensive to be sure, but the electric systems I put in there are the equivilent of dropping a modded 528xr into a buggy. Stupid fast, and I do mean stupid fast. Both will be fast though, easy 60mph machines when geared for it. When you add in the cost of fuel/maintaining a nitro it balances out in the end. Electric has a higher startup cost, but nitro costs more to keep up. I could have chosen cheaper electronics for the electric side and dropped about $100 off the price. Same can be said for Nitro. Eitherway, building a top end nitro, or a top end electric will cost an arm and a leg. Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica |

The Hyper 1/7 is getting converted to electric soon. Planned budget is about $500 for the conversion.
Followed by the CRT eventually. The buggy and IGT will remain gas for now. 2 nitros, 2 electrics. Little Toys: Hyper One Seven | Inferno GT | Jammin X1cr | Jammin CRT Pro | 1989 Batmobile Replica |
