Truggies have longer arms, body, drive shafts, and chassis. Tires, and wheels are also larger.

A truggy is a 4wd buggy, with a body that covers the whole chassis and both shock towers, unlike a buggy who's front shock tower is exposed. The truggy will also have truck tires as opposed to narrower buggy size wheels. Google Arrma Talion and Arrma Typhon.

That looks like a 10th scale buggy and a 8th scale truggy.

Still a little diffcult for me to understand.

Hi,
What specifically are you not understanding?
Look at the two pictures closely. The yellow buggy has a shorter body and a narrower stance. The front shock tower is exposed, the tires are smaller in diameter, the ground clearance is low, and the vehicle is light. The red truggy has a longer body and a wider stance. The front shock tower is not exposed, the tires are larger in diameter, the ground clearance is higher, and the vehicle is heavier.
Buggies handle very well and are quick but they need to stay on well groomed tracks. A truggy can perform better on a rougher track or off-road course.

OK. Just the pictures are not so clear the difference. Do not you think it?

I don't know if I agree (I don't agree) about buggies needing well groomed tracks, but either platform will put a smile on your face . The only other thing I can add to this thread...purchasing a 1/8 scale buggy was the best thing I ever did. Stupidly durable great fun.
