Hey guys just wondering what the difference is between the T8 buggy and truggy motors, and if it would be ok to put a buggy motor in a truggy?

The truggy motor is a longer can.

I had both and the buggy is a bit lighter and feels smoother. It has less bottom end and snap, the motor response is more progressive. I liked to use the buggy motor on slippery tracks and the truggy motor on high grip (astroturf) on my buggy. The truggy motor can also be a help if you need more weight on one side to have a balanced car.

Finally it depends on the heat. You generate less heat with a longer can (truggy motor) so sometimes it could be an issue to run a buggy motor on a truggy

And here is a thread about your particular question, I never owned a truggy

As mentioned, the truggy motors are longer and have more low end torque.

You can get away with the Truggy motors in a buggy. Would I recommend it? Probably not. 1/8 electric is already very powerful, it's only going to make it more difficult to control the buggy.

I would not recommend running a buggy motor in a truggy, however.

I'd either get a motor for each, or if anything, run the Truggy motor in both. It will be safer.
