Dynamic instability during transition.
I haven't done much with cars, but I have and continue to design, build, and fly R/C aircraft. Even with aircraft, nitro engines only barely make sense as electric motors and LiPoly batteries get lighter and cheaper. More and more smaller aircraft kits are moving to electric. For a car, I can't believe the hassle of nitro is worth it for most people unless you're really into those little engines for their own sake.

Bigger airplanes often run on gas engines, either two-strokes liberated from weedwhackers or purpose-built four strokes. Does anyone run gas R/C cars?
