Cain is right, buggies are faster than a truck due to size and weight, but the trucks are just as good if not better than a buggy, they jump better than a buggy because buggies need to hit a jump pretty much straight or they wont land as easily as a truck. But if you want become a better racer, the buggy will make you become one. Both most of all, your sure t have fun with either one or both.
