everyone have such a thought either should go for truggy or buggy..
things should be firstly what is your local hobby scene ? 2nd what type of driver are you?
1st if more people play buggy then just get a buggy.
2nd if you are non racer and just plain bashing go for truggy.
truggy is easier to handle. if you want more challenging things to play with buggy is the way to go. hope this helps . cheerss

Have you ever driven either? Truggies are easier to drive, require less skill, but the handling is not as precise... Buggies are more precise, but are traction limited. Overall the average driver can turn faster lap times with a truggy than a buggy, all else being equal.

I love buggy racing......but the Truggy has become my goal of racing. The tires last longer and I can run bigger motors. I'm going to put a O.S. .28 in this week.
The motor is the biggest part of the fun factor for me.
They handle a lot better than buggy as far as the terrain and with some work the set up can get real close to the buggy feel. There a little more unorthodox to the buggy.
I keep my buggy handy but I don't put as mush effort into it, in my level of racing the Truggy is more affordable.
Just do your self a favor and get a worthy proven one. I'm running the Jammin.

For my 1st "nitro racer" I went with a truggy. I race 10th scale electric for a while before and always bashed a nitro MT. I like racing it and notice the hacking but I figure it like this, same amount of truggies as buggies on the same track what do you think is giong to happen. Truggies are 11/2 times wider than buggies but it still sucks to be hacked. Next spring I will be trying my 1st buggy for shure. I never owned a mill other than size .28, I wannt to try a .21 in my truggy after lightening it up a bit..

I love my buggy, I am waiting on the new X2 from Jammin before I jump into truggy. I have a few motors I can run on it. I will race both just not on the same day.

Hacking=dirty, unsportsmanlike driving
Truggys > Buggys

I think there is a place and time for both of them. I am also new to off-road nitro. I came from on-road electric. I was unable to make up my mind, so i when out and got a X1-CR and X1-CRT on the same day. that was one of the best things i have ever did. i love them both. good luck.
