Most of the short course trucks are simply buggies with a different body, so they handle like buggies. The great thing about SCs though is the covered wheels, so you can really race rough. they don't have the ground clearance of the monster trucks, and they can only do small jumps because the bodies act like parachutes, but the 'scaleness' of them is what draws people. The racing is actually very exciting cos of all the 'rubbing'. Rubbin's racin' boi! lol
