The first post in TRUGGIES

[stallsmithb]

I have an all Aluminum Savage, a Heavily Modifid MT, E-Savage (being built) & a Hyper 7 pro. Is it worth buying a Truggy to add to the stable? Talk me into (or out off) Buying a Truggy. Looking at buying PSUNitro's "Ofna MBX type Truggy" or maybe the HellFire when it comes out.

Honestly the best way to do it is to build one yourself. They have kits and articles on how to do it. I think the thing NOT TO DO is buy the axle extenders if possible.
ADDED: The reason why is the shorter wheelbase is not great for long tracks, high speed runs and affects your handling. It is good for short tight tracks

ALso you might want to see if the extended Hyper 7 chassis will work so you can lengthen the overal length of the truggy. Lets hear more!!!

YES, Definately try to lengthen the wheel base....otherwise you have a real jumpy lil critter haulin ass around you......I like the short weelbase on th ebuggy because it sits so low and all but on an MT it makes it real squirrely......on short tracks it would probably be the poop but I still like the longer set up so when I hi tthe straight I can put the hammer down instantly w/o the car going sideways on me.....

my hyper just has mt size wheels on it and its as big (wheelbase wise) as my savy..
see..

anyone got a link to this extended hyper chassis?? maby i can make it fly like a wing..

(remembers plaids plan for the rubbermade body..)

I would be running it an a very long track. Here is the link for the site - http://www.nuclear-rc.com/ (Pic of the build is on the front page.)

It looks like this extend chassis came from a Hyper 7 PCR PRO Kit

Do this mean the PCR Pro is longer and if I was building one start with this?

Not too sure on that. I do know the PCR Pro had the Hyper 7L chassis

 

[ImBroken]

The PCR Pro Chassis was longer than the standard Hyper 7. I'm not sure by how much, but it was longer.

I think th emugen set is only 1 or 1.5 inches longer.....Beason you need to line up center rears together an I bet you have an inch more on your savage

Yeah I have those rims/tires they are HUGE, in a big way!
