I want a truggy...

[big jilm]

I'm really gas'n for a truggy right now but I don't have a track closer than 1 hour away..I have 2 revos and am getting tired of beating around tha yard..
Tell me it's a waist of money so I can put it out of my mind...I mean, its pointless to bash around the yard with a truggy right..??>:\

 

[slowngreen]

i dont race but i spent a butt load on a buggy cuz i wanted one so bad, just bash around the yard with it. id buy a truggy too if i had the money!

 

[big jilm]

Your not helping dude...

 

[slowngreen]

lol sorry. i tried to talk myself out of buying the buggy since i would just be bashing with it but I'm glad i bought it, been extremly fun! (not nitro btw)

 

[big jilm]

I've been thinking electric as well. I have enough trouble with my revos. Would be nice to just turn it on and run...

Truggies rule!

 

[Scrogg]

Truggies make great bashers, they are super stable and fast as hell. Just don't expect wheelies. They do require a bit more diff attention than a monster truck. The one thing on my Revo that never gave me trouble was the diffs. Simple design but they took a lot of abuse.
Every two hours of runtime you need to install new diff fluids and clean everything up good. Inspect the bearings. The Jammin truggies are excellent beaters, they can take tons of abuse without costing an arm and a leg.

did u get a truggy big jim if so what one

 

[big jilm]

na dude, I was try'n to talk myself out of it because money is a little tight right now. Also, I just don't have a spot to race... I guess I'll have to build a track...

 

[aengus]

have you got one yet? if not i can strongly recommend mantis from robitronic. they can take alot of beating too.

 

[big jilm]

Nice.. Thanks aengus, I take a look at them.. I'm busted right now with no relief in site so the truggie idea will have to wait....

I was bashing a RC8 Buggy for a little while, soo much fun, bough it 2nd hand with a .21 Go Racing modded motor, buddy of mine has been in R/C for years, was a little jealous that I was a newbie and was beatin the brakes off of his RC8B RTR. I drove it for the past 3 years and it's still runnin strong. Everyone else started running Truggies! So I tried one out and instantly hooked. I picked up the RC8TCE Kit, built it in about a week, had to wait about a month and a half to pick up a Werks B5 Pro .21, another month to pick up servos and a lipo receiver battery, got everything put together but no time to break in the motor. I envy this darn thing soo much it might just turn into a shelf queen, yee haaa! Get a Truggy dammit! That's all I'm saying!

Now I got my eye on a Short Course Truck! Does it ever stop? When will it ever be enough? We're supposed to enjoy ourselves right? This thing called R/C seems to be like and illicit narcotic but legal! It's fun when you first get um but kinda regret it a little later when you need the funds for something important...... Like paying the rent or phone bill, I know the Electric bill gets paid because the receiver packs definitely has to get charged. Hahahahahahaha! Is there such a thing as R/C Rehab? LMAO!
