Another reason they look "different" is because trucks were originally marketed as "racing monster trucks." How many crazy looking monster trucks do you see?

And Cavalieri runs bodies that I paint. Very rarely does he run a wrap on his bodies.

I think truggies look good, right now my Revo is sporting a Slash body with 1/8th buggy wheels, minus the wing.

Question: Not trying to start poop, but these painters say that they are the ones that paint the pros bodies, but yet they are sponsored by upgrade RC.
So why are they sponsored by a company and do not sport their main product? Is it just for a radio wrap? Because the stickers on the bodies say upgrade - not painted by __________ ect..... It just seems that the people who claim to paint the pros RC bodies are gettin burnt...

I like the look of most truggies over buggies. I must be strange.

I have noticed that everyone is jumping on the Losi truggy look bandwagon. The new Proline Bulldog body for the AE truggy looks a whole lot like a Losi body. Better late than never.
