part support is a big thing. indy supports mugen, xray, and tekno and associated.

they have most parts that break onsite. that being said if you choose the cheaper RTR (ready to run) option you will need to keep some parts in your toolbox to get you through some breakage.

I like the mugen truggy but the tekno is very nice as well. it is all personal choice for brand. all are good trucks

the caster is a nice quality truggy and well built. just have to order the parts for it. keep arms and drive cups in toolbox. have not had experience with the others.


nothing wrong with going with what you can afford. also look in the classified section here to see if there are any you like. also indy has used items that they sell.

electric or nitro is the big choice. keep that in mind that fuel cost vs battery cost.

shoot me a pm with a number and we can chat about it. also if you want to drive a truggy I would be glad to let you drive mine....

Sorry about the no response. I've been staying in an area without very good service in my camper. Thanks for all the input. I started to look at kits and I've heard good stuff about the tekno et48. Probably going to go with it.

OP if your interested and can spend a little more than 500 I could hook you up with a RTR setup.
