BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK TRUGGY
 

I AM LOOKING TO GET MY FIRST 1/8 TRUGGY AND I DONT KNOW WHAT TO GET AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS A DECENT ONE
ONE THAT IS GOOD FOR THE TRACK

THANKS
PETER

i would look for a used Mugen MBX5T prospec in the B/S/T forum...IMHO its the best all around truggy made, also the Losi 8ight T is a great truck, but not as strong as the 5T...

The TTR ST-1 is a very good value.

how abt the CEN matrix TR?

i kinda like that trug...

any advice on this..

its a very good trug, but a few guys i know with them have some breaking issues...

The OCM truggy should be out soon. Should be great value for money and dailed out of the box. :nod:

Yo playboy :lol: ...... a playboy must drive european cars like XT8, and don't forget to pimp your ride to catch more chicks :lol:

thunder tiger st1 best bang for the buck no comparison

I do not personally have one but I definitely agree.

I recently bought the ST-1 and agree. I have also had the CEN Matrix Truggy and by far the ST-1 is better out of the box and a whole lot cheaper.

ST-1 $299/$369 and you can get $25 off at A-Main wth a coupon code (JJDPP25).

Last weekend I ran my RC8 and I let my friend drive the ST-1 (I.E. durablity test). The ST-1 finished without any issue, no breakage, finished third and already has a gallon through it in one weekend. The only additional items I purchased for it was a roto-start, better steering servo and a wing.

the ocm truggy will be a very good truggy.

take this into account:

The type of track you will be racing on most of the time.

What brand is supported by your local hobby shops.

What are the fast guys running at the track.

Is there any factory support in your area.

Take these into account before price and you will be much happier in the long run.

hope this helps.

oh and by the way...Jammin's new trug will be out "by christmas"

it is the National Champ as of this year truck nats....

not sure why guys push this national champ stuff...its more the driver is the national champ than the truck, but being a national champ drove it, its a huge sales pitch...

not trying to be a smarty pants, just saying...

yup!!!! it all helps!!!!

but would Taylor be the champ if he wasn't driving the Jammin?

who knows...lol

Taylor is a great driver, so i dare say yes, but we will never need to find out:D...
