I'm looking at my first buggy/truggy to get going at the track. I'm looking at either the Losi 8ight 1.0 or the Kyosho Inferno ST. Both would come as rollers. Is there preferences here from you guys? I'm very new to the buggy/ truggy world!

Thanks for any help!

A truggy vs a buggy will be a bit different to drive. A buggy takes a little more precision to drive but can be more rewarding. A buggy also breaks less. A truggy will soak up many mistakes. Also, what class is more popular at your local track and which has more parts support? Personally I would recommend buying a newer kit that has been lightly used. It will take you much farther than the older kits.

Losi 3.0's look like they are coming out soon, if I were you I'd wait and pick up a slightly used or even new 2.0 kit, I'm sure they will be cheap after the 3.0's are released.

Given that Losi is already one of your choices, take a look at
www.nitrohouse.com
Fantastic prices available for all three TLR 8.2 vehicles.

Prices are already cheap for the 2.0's. You can pick up a new roller for 300.

I'm just trying to get my feet wet here, not even sure I want to pursue this type of racing yet, I want to see if I even like it
, these budgets are way out of what I placed for myself.

Was looking less than $100 for a roller.

By time you spend extra money getting it set up with engine, servo's & radio gear, you would be better off getting yourself an rtr buggy thats already got everything & ready to drive.
The JQ Products THE Car rtr version is only $399 & its a great buggy & very strong as well. Would work out a little cheaper getting a complete car to start with.
