Best Truggy recommendations


       Remove this ad - become a site supporter!
I've got a Savage X and now want to add a truggy to the stable. What would you recommend? My buddy just got a stock Revo 3.3, so I'd like something that's competitive with that - meaning I need to crush it in a race. (assuming we have equal driving skill). Thanks.

Most truggies should be able to beat the revo as it is a monster truck.

Losi 8t
Mugen MBX5t
Kyosho SRT

just to name a few

Didn't know the Revo was classed as a Monster truck. Good to know, but I still want a truggy.

Also, I did a search for 'truggy' and went through the first 10 pages of results. Most of it was 'Concluded for sale' posts. There was 1 applicable thread but it got hijacked.

Any recommendations you can provide would be appreciated. Like everyone else, I'm looking for reliability, speed and handling.

TOP 5

1: Team Associated RC8T (coming out in july 0
2: Team Losi 8ight
3: Mugen MBX5T
4:: Kyosho ST-RR
5: X-Ray XT8

All these truggies offer the same durability, speed, and handling. Any of these truggies could be amazing but it's upto you to make sure the set up is nice and it depends on which engine you use for speed and torque.

Tekno.

I know I'm "the CEN guy" but there might be some new whips in my near future. Check THESE out...

http://www.tqracing.net/

I was so so so impressed with the difference that TQ fuel made for me, that I scoured around their website and bumped into these 2 beauties.

I am 100% impressed with the photos and specifications and am also looking very forward to seeing the Precision Hobbies' guys run theirs at Niagara this Sunday, and again in New York at the end of the month!

Parts are readily available through Precision Hobbies (vino1) as well, so support is NOT going to be a problem.

Take note...I've already changed my Avatar, and am going to speculate that I WON'T be the last!!!
