ok, this next statment might not apply to you but it might...ive thought about going buggy but ive noticed everyone at my LHS that races buggy has $$400+ in theirs...all im saying is if youre racing be prepared to spend alot if you wanna make it a serious competitor....

i myself love monster trucks for the intimidating size and its ground clearance, if youre not racing then def. go MT...just my opinoin
hope this helped....
