Agree with Mongdex.. MT's are fun. I am of course a big fan of my LST2's, but I even think Savages are fun to drive(my issues there are with part quality..) There's a challenge to driving them. Truggies are boring outside of a track IMO.. And I still don't care what anybody says - I like the 2-speed shift..

One of the things about my LST2's too is that they are good stock - yes, RTR. Same goes for a Savage. With truggies I anyway always feel the pressure to have the best of the best stuff - i.e. at least a grand investment. Novarossi Roma or whatever with just the right pipe, Hitec 7955's, etc.. And they burn through tires way too fast.. Yeah MT's are not durable on a track. But outside of that they are plenty durable if you're not a complete bonhead running into walls at WOT etc. My first LST2's is six years old and going strong...

D.amn!! Two weeks of cold rainy miserableness and just thinking about it my trigger finger is getting all twitchy...

ps Another thing: I actually think buggies are more fun to drive all-around than truggies. Truggies just look cooler though(IMO). But if you are limited in terms of where you can run, a buggy is more fun in a parking lot for high speed runs, or a field or gravel road or whatever.. Big air I guess a truggy is better, as you get a bit more cushioning with the bigger tires, but they're both gonna' bottom out really hard, and strain those expensive big bore shocks whatever the case... Whatever the case, in some ways a buggy is a much better compliment to an MT than a truggy..
