Ok so i am kind of thinking of building my very own 1/8 scale buggy, which will be similar to a truggy. Not for racing (but would be nice to have the speed/handling) but for bashing. To me monster trucks seem extremely tipsy and bulky, and not as attractive as buggies so I am thinking to get some .30 engine, truggy wheels, good longer suspension (truggy/mt like) and maybe customize the buggy to double suspension on each side. Hoping to have an aluminum bottom plate and carbon fiber upper late with rubber+plastic front bumper. Hopefully to get a tranny that will be able to reverse. On top of that I'll get a 3pm, 1 free channel for mods.

Do you think this is a dumbass idea? What would you recommend? or maybe i should just buy a buggy and mod that, whould that be cheaper?
