RE: Truggy vs buggy
Alright, well I drive both competitively. And there is a massive differience between the two. Nothing can get around the track as quick as a buggy, BUT, nothing can get around a track as easily as a Truggy.!
I started off with Truggies when I got in to this hobby, and have started racing Buggies now. I perosnally find Buggies easier.
As for which can take more abuse, depends on what you do. Slam them both into a immovable object at WOT and they'll both break. All depends as stated above, on the quality of the Kit you buy, and the time and effort spent maintaing it....
