Is there anything badder than a Nitro Truggy?
Kinda bored lol, so I thought I would ask the question: Is there anything meaner than an 1/8 scale truggy?
I had a Revo, but when I saw the action of 1/8 scale truggy racing, I sold the revo to get my MBX5T. Intense racing action, and I don't think anything in RC ground racing compares. My wife and 2 year old daughter are bored when electrics are racing, monster trucks crash too often and don't jump as far/high, buggies get their attention, but when the truggies come on track, they are smiling lol.
Anybody care to share their truggy experience? Videos would be great, especially if it is racing against other types of rc vehicles.

ooo yea, id have to aggree with you there, when i saw the OCM DT-19Truggy fly around at my local with a Sirio 27, it was jaw droping.
i used to race the Electric stadium race truck, so seeing somthing similar to what i had, brought back good memories, im contemplating on weather to grab myself one since ill be getting my GO Tech 21 7port next week.

Truggies are fun to watch, but a real pain to turn marshal. I've found that its a shoving match for most truggy racers, but most buggy racers I have seen and raced against tend to wait for the right passing moment. If truggy racing cleaned up, I would join, but with the current aggressive driving style, I would not enjoy it.

would a suped up 1/8 truggy beat a baja 5b?? i wouldnt mind seeing those race, those are insane.

Any truggy would blow the Baja away!!!!! Hell a 1:10 could do it too. I've seen a few Baja on race tracks and they where, lets say very disappointing. I mean the lap times were like a minute slower. The only way I could see a Baja out performing any 1:8 would be on and very wide and strait track...

Lol, the aggressive racing attitude of truggy racing is what I like. Seeing a bunch of nitro burning, tire spinning, smoke belching machines tearing down a straight or over a jump, where only the baddest survive lol.......my type of racing.
Don't get me wrong, finesse and precision have their place.....
if you like crochet and needlepoint
Just kidding.........When I decided to get a truggy, part of that decision was because I didn't think my revo would stand up to the abuse of racing with truggies. If truggy racing was cleaner, that would not have been a concern, but again, that is what I like about truggy racing. Most exciting class to watch, IMO.

I have to be nice, skillfull and polite driver, driving on-road cars.
However, I can be mean, sadistic, badass driver in off-road hehehehe ..... it's 0 or 1 situation on throttle

I have fun running truggy but it is the "hackers" class... like stock truck in 1/10.
The WOT slam bam mentality can be fun but it makes for some major carnage when the talent doesn't match the enthusiasm.

Only thing better than a nitro Truggy is a brushless one with lipo

I don't think it's possible for the truggies to be as smooth as buggies around the track. if you're driving a bunch of huge, really fast beasts around the track they're going to trade some paint and run some stuff over whether they want to or not.
my favorite thing to watch is on Saturdays at my local track when there's not enough people to run 2 classes so the truggies and buggies run together and the truggies just plow over the buggies like they're not even there
even though "racing is supposed to be serious" at the end of the day we're all doing it just for the fun factor and RC carnage always = more fun...just not when it comes time for repairs
