Based on what I have seen at Loganville when I have been there and the nitros were racing, yes I think truggy is not as popular as it once was.

The buggies are still very popular from what I have seen.

Yep they are not kidding truggies are dying out and buggies are back to taking total control once again. If you want to get back into offroad I suggest that you get a buggy because you know there will always be some at the track to race and the class wont just die out.

Truggy hasn't really been hopping in a few years. I have a brand new one (8T) been in the closet for 2 years never touched the ground. Spektrum DX w/telemetry, Novarossi engine, JP pipe, ready to drive. Truck is literally 2 years old and has the new truck smell, never came off the new starter box it is sitting on.

Every time I want to go drive it I hear of a bad turn out so I am never motivated to break it out. If people would show up I'd drive it, but seems like nobody does so.........

2 years old and rotting on a shelf, built and ready to go.

I personally love truggy and I bought an 8B and didn't like it. I just decided to bash with my Tmaxx and Revo until the truggies come back into their glory.

There are usually around 4-6 E truggies pretty consistent at ATL SX so truggy guys we only need 2-3 more for consistent truggy racing
