Default TRUGGY ?'s

I was noticing a big interest in truggy's lately and was wondering if they are that much faster than a ground up monster truck.

Um i think they were better than a monster truck right up until the release of the revo. I think the revo will give a truggy a good race on and or off the track.

I would hate to burst you bubble about the revo but a truggy will stomp the crap out of it. I just came back fron a race an the truggy put 14 LAPS on the guy. And the bad part is the revo had a .21 on it plus all sorts of hop ups. You have to think that your still racing a buggy, it just now has bigger tires to lay the smack down with.

That is only ONE example. How long was that race? 14 laps is quite alot. The entire A-main is filled with REVO's at my local track. The LSP, and some other truggies are wicked fast, but the Revo can hold its own. That .21 on the Revo probably hurt it more than anything.

Well it was the A-Main. And that engine didnt hurt the revo. In fact there were 5 other revos and this one laped them 5 times. I still will have to support my opinion. Truggys are more powerfull and are more stble in racing due to Low CG and wheel base. Not trying to fight just stating my opinion.

While truggies are fast, most of it is still based on the driver. There was a truggy at the race 2 saturdays ago when I went and it was getting beat by revos with TMs. I think the Revo vs. truggy would be a good competition where 5 drivers drive both a truggy and a revo and see who pulls the better lap times. That wouldn't settle it, but it would give you a good idea.

Nothing wrong with an opinion bro. They're just like buttholes, everyone has them and they all stink

I totally agree with the driving. like if you give a truggy to a beginner and give a revo to a pro. odds are the pro will kick butt. When you said !QUOT!nothing wrong with an opinion bro. They're just like buttholes, everyone has them and they all stink!QUOT! Freaking hilarious. Haven't heard that in a long time! I was about in tears laughing.
