And as for being able to "push" one or the other harder. I think with a buggy you're pushing more your own ability, because, since the buggy is more agile and quick, you'll find YOUR limits by pushing before you find the limits of the car. With a truggy, it's easier to drive, so eventually your limits and those of the car are more closely aligned, so then you're just pushing the car. Both are fun, but a buggy is more challenging to drive. Which for me anyway means more fun...

I also think truggy requires more set-up. A good all-round setup for buggy seemed to work great for me on different tracks.. Whereas with truggy different tracks require changes moreso than with a buggy... I know others have said the opposite, but I found it to be that way.. Truggies - though cooler looking - are just oafier to drive, so you have to maximize the setup to get the most out of them on a given track.. My theory anyway...

Also, don't forget, as mentioned before, if your local track has only a handful of truggy drivers and more buggies(as most do..), then I'd go with buggy. No point in investing in a race truggy if you end up only racing against 2-3 other guys.. Or none..
