I've read alot of forums lately about monster trucks and buggies and other RCs and how they compare. So this will be a thread to discuss views of monster trucks and buggies likes,dislikes,positives and negitives. **Mods, if this a a repost feal free to delete it**
Okay, Well I'll take the first shot.
I started into RCs with a Storm. Its my baby and wouldnt trade it for nothign at the moment. As my RC trip grew I've drove quite a few diffrent RCs. I feal like I'm taste testing foods. My dad did a little wheelin and dealin and got a T-Maxx 2.5 for his X-Terminator RTR straight up. Well I was out in the yard the other day, playing with it trying to learnt he control because it will end up being my back up when I break the Storm as I always do, and I was just not impressed with how they handle of feal. It seemed to flip really easy, and not turn to sharp. I know its a truck but still the steering really made me angry how it turned so wide. Everyone has told me how their Savage or Tmaxx would kill my Storm. With a .25 a two speed 4wd, it made sense but when the lap and the drag raceing started the buggy just dominated. It turned better, more controllable, more planted to the ground. When we would basg bash is when the monster truck really gave the buggies a run for their money.
On the jumps it seems the buggys were shooting for something and the trucks just fiddlesticking went crazy high. The ground clearence make a huge diffrence bashing. Makes me wanna but some longer shocks on the buggy now. The beggest problems with the buggy was getting stuck because of ground clearance and the biggest prob with the trucks was with flipping.
The best way I can describe it is, Buggys are made for speed, agility, and handling. Trucks are made to be jumped, bashed, rolled and put threw some hell. For any MT owner who hasnt drove a buggy, please do you might find a quality that feals familiar with a diffrent spice, open to thign ur truck couldnt do. Buggy guys who havent dorve a truck. Do so aswell. You may be wanting to jump some things you knew the buggy just couldnt handle, like say a really high launch.
With that I'll leave you to post your own comments.
