I love it & I want one. Too $$ right now for me. But I have a Proline Enforcer body on my K6, looks very similar. But the track near me has a Truggy class. Not many enter like buggy. I would really like to try racing & E-Truggy is what I would go for. I watched a few vids of this machine. Very fluid. Aggressive subtleness. I dig it, man!

I would really love to get into some 8th scale if I had the money. The nearest 8th scale track which is just a for fun track is 30ish minutes away, but the nearest bigger 8th scale track that does racing, and a track that is more open is 2hours away.

Also, kinda wonder what is the best starter class for 8th scale. Buggy or truggy. Atleast with the truggy, its both raceable and bashable, while the buggy, you could do both, but with the lower ride height id only use it on track.

I’d prefer a 1/10th scale truggy, 1/8 is rather large.

This looks like it'll be faster than my converted 2.0 truggy. I have a feeling we will get an updated TLR Truggy with the 2.0 trays.

I agree. That has to be the ugliest RC body ever.

I'm sure it's fun to drive, but even my SCT 1/10 is kinda big. 1/8? Yeah. No. If someone wants to donate one to me, sure. But then I'll still need to get different batteries/motors/servos/tires/wheels, all the things. That's a whole 'nother level.

Kinda need a big outdoor track. Like nitro track. That's not close to me as well.

I'm really digging my mini Losi JRX2. And my kids Slyder. That is actually quite capable for no oil in its shocks. This is for the backyard track. Which is also mini. Ha.

It's so ugly you just can't look away. Only a face a mother can love.

It looks like it was smashed into a brick wall head on.

Check the actual sizes, your sct is about the same size as a 1/8th buggy, truggy is a couple of inches longer. Speaking from personal experience. Scale is rather loosely followed by RC.

Holy crap! I don't like 1/10 scale bulldog bodies, but that Losi truggy... I thought the body was sexy.
Forgo the Losi sticker of course (I never liked that logo).

I’d prefer a 1/10th scale truggy, 1/8 is rather large.

I couldn't think of being without my 1/10 scale mini truggy. The most fun I've ever had!
No doubt a 1/8 scale RC needs a lot of real estate to get full potential out of it. The power/heaviness of 1/8 scale RCs is just so awesome to try to tame though.

Bulldog? More like a an overweight pug. HA

I'd try driving one. I'll admit. But I won't be happy about it, and it better be set up correctly!

Yes truggy bodies sure have changed styles over the years. Jump on over to the ET48 2.0 body fun looking thing.

 

[sylentk]

I guess if that's the "style" these days.

I mean I prefer women in low hip huggers vs the high hip things these days. But who am I? Yoga pants, sure.

Yes I just compared RC car body styles to women fashion. I'm just getting warmed up. HA

Would you possibly share the length of your rear shocks eyelet to eyelet? I broke a shock cap on a serpent and they are not available anywhere. Losi shocks have a finer thread than serpent and if the shocks will interchange I will just replace the shocks.
