How many different catagories are there, and what sets them apart.
Are all trucks 4WD, and buggies 2WD? There's also touring, I know what they are.
Can anyone list and define them all for me?

Buggies come in 2wd and 4wd
Truck (Electric) come in 2wd
Truck (Nitro) come in btoh 2wd and 4wd (some nitros come with reverse and 2 speed forward gears)
1/8 (Nitro) buggies come in 4wd
On-road (Nitro) 4wd
On-road (electric) 4wd & 2wd
 
Truck (Electric) come in 2wd
the e maxx is fwd. and this is gen nitro talk nitro not elec. so yes all nitro buggys are fwd. this has nothing to do with elec.talk
 
I'm REALLY confused now. Let's keep it to nitro till my little brain absorbs it.
Also, is a Stadium truck a truck or a buggy?
And Zandor, whats mt?
 
an st is kind of like a buggy but is 2wd.smaller lighter like the traxxas rustler this is a st...
a mt is a monster truck as in t maxx,savage,ect....
than there is a truggy witch is a buggy with mt tires
