How good are truggies??

[Gregw1]

Hey all you bashers. I'm thinking of buying myself a losi 8T Rtr. Nitro of course. So I've had a good few MT'S in my day with the exception of the hpi nitro rush. I currently own the losi LST xxl which I love but I've been thinking hard about getting a truggie. Anyhow how r they compared to mt for bashing?

I have a truggy ,but never bashed it ,a truggy has a flat chassy an has a center open diff for a tranny ,some times
they do have a 2spd center dif. with out reverse ,they are more set up like a buggy an are popular for track
racing.

I think for bashing, truggies are kind of a trick question... They do well off road as well as in road BUT their steering at higher speeds kind of lacks. In the dirt, you can kind of 'throw' the steering around and you'll find your groove and the performance you want. Tire choice is important.
On road, you get great speed but the steering at high speed just isn't there. If I HAD to pick one or the other, between my Jato and my revo, is take the revo without question.
If you're looking for buggy performance and handling, buy a buggy.
