I raced the TTR for 8 months. Its not a bad buggy and it was tuff as nails, but it just couldnt hang with everything else out there. I tried hard to get it to work but some of the parts that are availabe now werent when i had it. Either way i was done with it and went the Kyosho route, I bought Chris Kings Buggy and i was hooked.
The Mugen X5 model has been around for awhile and its getting dated, but so is the Kyosho design. These 2 companies like to improve the current design and make it better and better with minor changes or options, where most will dive right in with an all new design. It used to be a 2 horse race with these 2 companies but now there is tons of other choices to chose from. Not all are proven like the Kyosho or Mugen tho, so guys tend to buy those 2 products first.
I think it really helps to have someone recommend a buggy to you. It gives you a chance to test drive it, you have resources for set-up info, testers of different products or tuning, parts, etc. I may be on the Kyosho Team, but i wouldnt recommend it to anyone if i didnt believe in it and i dont mind helping out anyone with whatever car make they have.
