|  best truggy?
Mugen? Kyosho? Losi? The market is now flooded with these things, and I am itchin' for a new nitro basher, so I figure I would give a truggy a shot. Truggy's have the duribility and handling of the 1/8th scale buggys with the clearence of the monster trucks. Right? seems to me that they would make great bashers. who's got the best bang for the buck? Thanks -Brian |

i though they were just buggies with truck bodies, but if they had bigger tires they would have more clearance.

Truggies are longer, wider and have different gearing compared to the 1/8 Buggies..A truggy can be just as fast as an 1/8 buggy.. Mugen: Very durable and probably tops in the truggy class Kyosho: Very Durable just not as long as the other truggies out there, which some say keeps it from being just as fast as the mugen Losi: Durable for the first couple tanks then you'll need to replace pretty much everything on it cause the Losi's wear out very fast..Meaning CVD's, Arms, Hinge pins, Shock o-rings, shock shafts, Bearings.. Stick with the Kyosho or Mugen..Both are very durable and very fast with the right driver...  |

I figured I would through this one out there too. HPI Hellfire, I've been racing mine for a little over a year now and its a hard truck to beat. Ive race alongside Mugens and Hotbodies and Jammins all the time and were always right there next to each other  |

IMO, the absolute best bang for the buck right now is a Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium. They are having a huge sale over at ultimatehobbies.com on Hot Bodies vehicles. If you're looking for something to just beat on, they're hard to beat for the price. http://www.ultimatehobbies.com/istar.asp?a=6&id=HBS55005!1007&csurl=%2Fistar%2Easp%3Fa%3D28%26 |

I really like the new CEN matrix truggy. It looks very well thought out. I have also always liked the HB LSP but its getting dated, and the price of them now is reflecting that. I am trying to save up for the matrix.
