It sounds to me like those guys were bashers that didnt know what they were going to be running against then. Its not too hard to make an r/c hold up on a track if you can drive it. My guess is they werent too good of driver/jumpers if they broke that fast. I dont race. I have nothing against buggies, but i just dont race, and it makes more sense for me to have an MT to go out and bash.

Now, I may try a truggy one day, since it will run much better in a lot of the places that i run than the buggy does having bigger tires and all. I loved the durability and simplicity of my buggy. But that being said, I havent broken either one of my MT's and dont really do any jumping, so im not real hard on them as far as jumping is concerned.

I may try a truggy one day if i run up on a trade for one, but im in no hurry since im perfectly happy with my MT's.
