Finally had time to get the slipper adjusted right this afternoon. Truggy ran great on my first pack but hit LVC early again just after 5 minutes of laps. I need to drop that threshold.

Second run I did something I didn't think was possible; I threw a Dogbone... Of course I couldn't find the damn thing anywhere in the fresh cut grass. I looked for almost an hour, no clue where it ended up or how in the hell it was able to pop out. So now I'm down for the next five days at least paying $5 to ship a $5 part...

Never lost one, but when I have an item I know I might need more of I buy two just to make the shipping worth it. Sometimes I'll even tack on items that I know will wear soon or at least eventually. Slipper pads, bearings, suspension arms, shock seals, etc. Might also want to consider the CVD's. It would eliminate the possibility of that happening again.

I have both the buggy and the truggy and I find myself going for the truggy more.
Either way you go I would totally go for the pro kit vs the rtr from Warren Rc.

I also ordered a couple pairs of those cvds off Aliexpress, tracking shows they left China.

Haven't owned the EMB-1 but I did have the truggy that I bought as an ARTR because I had a remote already. I wasn't ready to build a kit at the time and I don't regret the decision. The assembled cars are well put together and the electronics are solid for general use. I did assemble the LC12B1 kit a few months back and I have to say, it was a breeze. Last kit I built was a Tamiya Stadium Blitzer over 20 years ago. The kits are super well done. Easy instructions, no missing parts, and clearly labeled parts bags. I had a flaw in the machining of one of my shock bodies, but that was quickly resolved by Warren RC.

You cant go wrong with either IMO. The short wheelbase buggy from what I hear is a little more twitchy and a little harder to control, but will also teach you a lot about driving an RC if you care to learn. The long wheelbase is easy to drive and very stable with the correct setup for whatever terrain you run. Also very versatile as you can take a truggy and with a quick wheel and body swap, turn it into a long wheelbase buggy. I ended up liking the truggy converted to buggy so much I bought the LC12. I just realized I'm more of a buggy person. I find it much easier to drive on pavement and asphalt than the truggy.

Truggy or SCT variant I think would be fun, give a bit more ground clearance and the longer chassis can make it a bit more stable. That said, I don't think you can go wrong with either one. Both are quite fun.


Got my LC12B1 in, starting the building process

get em both LOL! IMO you cant go wrong with either.

The truggy has the big motor in it and can be used as a truggy, buggy, SCT, monster truck and rally car.

cheapest assuming what I heard is correct (not what its listing says, talk to people) would be the xr10 pro stock from hobbywing.

Used, the Tekin RS Gen2 can fit your needs. with the new RS Gen3s out probably a variety of them you cna see popup. I got one for $55 recently.

DingusKhan: That looks great!
