I havent seen hyper truggy but i will say this. You get what you pay for. I think a main reason guys on this board may try and sway you towards a more common chassis is for these few simple facts..
1st- If you break a part on a Hyper truggy that you dont have in your pit box i can almost 100% Gar-Ron-Tee that nobody will have one to loan you as its not a common chassis. The hobby shop at the track stocks parts for the more popular models so i think you'd be S.O.L. there too...
2nd- Dialing in a set-up can be a bugger of a time and can drive you to drink! So its much easier to drive what other guys locally drive since they have already done most of the leg work on the set-up for you! Then all it takes is minor tweaks to get the car set up just perfect for your style.
Last but not least....
RESALE!!! Honestley no r/c has any real resale value... You get bent over hardcore when you sell a model for another one. Losses in the 60% and up range are common place and having an oddball only pushes that depreciation higher. No demand= no resale value...
Now these are just simple facts ive learned in the better part of 4 years of racing. Take them or leave them but all i can say is learn from others mistakes and save yourself all the money "we" have lost learning the hard way.
Good luck racing! Its a great hobby! It will consume you! LoL!!!
