Buggies are a hoot and a half to drive, tons of fun IMO. Truggies are kinda like buggies in that respect, but they are almost stupid easy to drive. Definitely one of the most forgiving and that's part of what makes them so capable. I loved my 8ight-t 2.0, but I agree with HerrSavage, had to have the best one with lots of good stuff in it too. Maybe the sticker shock hadn't worn off or it was too pretty, but I just couldn't bash it. I cringed everytime the chassis slapped or scrapped even though I knew it could take more of a beating.

But my true Rc love is MT's. Something about their characteristics that appeals to me. I liked being behind the wheel of my Revo 3.3 a little better than my LST. The Revo was a little better in the handling dept and more like a Truggy, but the LST is better in other ways. I find they jump pretty good, but they'll never be as good as a Truggy or carve it up like one either, Id still take an MT over a Truggy though.

Btw, there are a few die hard Lightning fans out there, as it is a solid rig. But it's an aging platform and some may have never even heard of it. Might want to mention when selling it that the new HPI Trophy Truggy is a rehashed Lightning so at least people know they can get parts easily.
