hey, idk what's goin on with my friend and the buggy thing, but which would be better for a good bashing session thingy...to go off a big ramp and not break too much. im not lookin for too much speed, to much speed prolly isn't good if im new to nitro.

I dont plan to race for...quite a while and i hope to get the truck around christmas time, it not a lil later, thx guyz!!

I like bashing MT's more than buggy's, they are just funner

Michowski · (#3 (**permalink**))

well the revo is gonna be better for a basher but the buggy is gonna have the durability it sounds like you want. Only problem with the buggy is you can only drive on a mostly smooth surface. You can still go through grass and maybe some small dirt trails but but thats about it. Revo you can literally go anywere and bash it.

Revo. MT's RULE!!!

Tex · (#5 (**permalink**))

buggies can go just about anywhere a revo can. wanna test my skills? lol

PoPRC · (#6 (**permalink**))

Couldnt you get the buggy and turn it into a truggy? Best of both worlds?

Not that I know what I am talking about or anything. Cause I dont.

cant buggies not take as much height on a jump as a MT

Obsessive R/C · (#9 (**permalink**))

As I see it...buggies will take all the height you'd want....cartwheel like crazy...land on the wheels AND drive away. Monster trucks break often on BIG jumps. Although a select few modified MT's will survive.

Buggies have the durability and speed to jump houses, lol. I've seen it on a few videos

Notochord · (#11 (**permalink**))

i saw that video.i was thinking about shocks but bottoming out isnt that bad.

Tex · (#12 (**permalink**))

Your supposed to bottom out and buggies will jump higher and farther than MT's, no problem.

dirtguy90 · (#13 (**permalink**))

yeah, i've seen those videos and the car looks like it lands just terribly and the body falls off, which is nothin and i saw a MT jump about....15 feet, land just as bad as the buggy and he broke the suspension arms and one of the shocks.

what do u guyz mean by "bottom out" a buggy?

SixVi6-Camaro · (#14 (**permalink**))

"bottom out" is when the chassis hits the ground. Its not just buggies that do it either. Any RC can and should bottom out the chassis before the shocks run out of travel.

oooh ok, that was my guess but ya gotta check up ya know? i was at the lhs and i looked at some buggies....they looks pretty durable, the parts were thick and looked much stronger then the t4 and it looks like a good investment, this one came with everythig and was 275 or 375, which isn't too bad

but it stinks cuzz i can't remember what kinda buggy it was, i think it was an ofna but im not sure
i'll write stuff down next time
