its amazing how much different things are for us here in Canada.... we are always struggling for more bottom end....Our track surface is soo tacky that often times you cannot spin the tires even if you wanted to...In a truggy even my modified Bonito can't break traction from a dead stop... And without the ability to spool up the tires many engines just do not have enough grunt to clear the obstacles..... Most of the stock engines just feel dead and gutless and do hurt laptimes, especially in truggy....... On high bite a Truggy requires a pile more HP then a Buggy does...of course on a loose surface it doesn't make as much difference........tho I will also say the persons skill in setting up the suspension will also play a big role in how much power they can put to the ground.. a properly setup car has a pile more traction to work with then a poorly setup car......
