The ofna truggy box is the best box there is, especially if you put a lipo in it. You can get a lipo from hobbyking for the price of a gel cell. If you want the cheapest box that will work the ofna chrome top is pretty good but heavy, and even heavier with a gel cell. My advice is buy a used truggy box, yes it works great for buggies too. Don't know why its called a truggy box.

+1 on the truggy box. Can't speak on the lipo, but with a 12v it has no trouble turning over anything i've thrown at it.

Hands down, best deal you will find on a new one. I have a OFNA Truggy Box (top of the line dual motors) and this is basically the same box for half the money. Buy a 12v gel cel (thats what i have) or a 3s lipo and you are good to go.

Another vote for the Big Bad Blue Box. You will not regret buying the ofna truggy box.

Go to A-main and read the reviews for this blue ofna truggy box. That should answer your question. Pay a little more and get a lot more. Thats being smart with your money in my opinion.

How hard is it to change to losi 8 2.0 buggy or truggy on the ofna or dynamite starter boxes? I have a v1 losi starter box and its as easy as just pushing a button and sliding the rear mounts to the long position for my truggy. But its motors aren't quite as powerful as i'd like. Been thinking of putting in a couple 775's in place of the 550's thats in it, but i'm not sure how much modding i'd have to do to get it to work.

i like the ofna chrome top. Got a big old motor and its cheap. The only down fall is that it weights like 50 pounds
