But what are the differances between a buggy and a truggy?

To me a truggy is a buggy with longer arms, bigger tires and a different body.

That's how it all started. Nowadays truggies have a longer chassis specifically made for them.

pretty much it...imagine a buggy chassis with longer beefier suspension and slightly bigger tires and thats a truggy.

Also truggies have a .28 where as race buggies use .21s.

Not necessarily true - not one truggy at our track is running a .28.

- Buggy's have a shorter wheel base

- Truggy's are wider (longer A arms)

- Truggy's have like a truck body on them - buggy's have a buggy body

- Buggy's wheels are smaller in diameter and width

- Truggy's can carry more speed into corners and over bumpy tracks

- Truggy's have longer front shocks than a buggy - often the same size rear shocks

- Buggy's can be a little more agile over jumps (as in take triples / quads with a little more ease as they are a little lighter and quick to accelerate for a jump)


Apparently buggys are harder to drive as they can be a little twitchy - dont know about that one . . . .

Most truggies run in sanctioned competition usually run a .28 engine. Buggies running in sanctioned competition run a .21.
