RE: Is this a good Truggy?
Not for the price, I mean you can get a CRT RTR for $530, Lightning Stadium sport for $330, CEN matrix TR, the Nitrage would be my last choice. PM Qaiz he had a nitrage then he got a Hyper ST he'll be able to tell you how it compared to the Hyper.
Edit: Here a link to a TTR (thunder tiger) ST-1 I heard these where good for the money http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/17279
CEN http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/10615
CRT http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...oducts_id/4134
Amain is 99.9% cheaper on stuff then Tower by the way.

RE: Is this a good Truggy?
oh alright thanks for the links. I want a truggy, not a MT or ST. Right now I have a Revo 3.3 and Stampede VXL. I've seen truggy's race and want one. So any links to truggy's and how they are would be greatly appreciated.

You will probably get more results in the truggy forum 
But if your willing to spend 500$ on an rtr truggy than fork over a little more dough and get the 8ight t rtr. It may be an extra $100 but its well worth it

RE: Is this a good Truggy?
If I bought the 8eight-t, could I buy more receivers and use the transmitter for multiple cars? The transmitter it comes with is the Spektrum DX2.0 I think. My cars are in sig.

The CRT is good (I have the pro kit CRT) but I'm not sure about the rtr, the ofna/jammin radios/servo/engines are not to good in their RTR's.
The CEN I heard was good.
The 8ight t people seem to like, it does come with the DX2.0 but it can only hold 2 model memory though.
There's the LSP-R too. Look on ebay you might just find a good deal on a complete pro kit truggy for $500 - $600

.He can use the search button, honestely.
Im with the CRT, tho the X2 . The X1 is still a damn good truck, the X2 just touches up on that truck ( Extended Chassis, Fuel Tank, a few differiences etcc.. ). The X1 has TONS and TONS of after maket ' hop ups ' that you can buy. Im 99.9% sure that the RTR CRT X1X comes with the Ofna Force .28 engine.
ANY RTR ( Except for the Losi 8ight T ), will NOT come with a good engine, serovs, and radio. All use mostly the same crappy stuff, that will HAVE to go at a certain point.
Good Luck on your choice...

RE: Is this a good Truggy?
I would investigate truggies from other companies in this price range. But if you really want it, you can purchase if directly from Tamiya for $399. Click on link below.
