And you cab pick them up cheap as we'll.

Just my .02

I was referring to the buggy, should have clarified.

Get both! I got the 22sct first, love it... then got the 22 2.0 buggy and I hated it, it was much more touchy and extremely fast. However, more practice has made me love the buggy and made my short course driving much better. I will say this, the short course is 17.5 stock class, the buggy is 8.5T mod class.. so vast difference haha.

Thanks for all the info.

We have about six rtr Dingos at the track. You will need a faster motor for run what you brung. A stronger servo is highly recommended.

My rtr SC was bought used, so I don't know about tires. It came with a super cheapo Geforce sensored motor 10.5. The buggy rtr tires did gret on our loose track, may be too grippy if anything for indoor.

The steering comes loose and needs to be tightened daily on my SC. Buggies have been solid s well, have not heard any crying in the pits.

As for SC or buggy, their both fun but have a really if fervent style, no right answer. Will anyone let you take a test drive?

If you want to really learn to drive then get a buggy. Biggest thing is to not put too much motor in it. If they have a 17.5 class, start there. If it's just open classes, go 13.5 turn.

If the track Is indoor and hard clay then you'll need barcodes gold for the buggy. These tires do great on clay tracks. If I had a choice between buggy and sct ill choose the buggy because u learn how to drive better and learn a lot about it.
