Default RE: Race Truggy or Buggy which is better for dirt?


ORIGINAL: formula87

If any of you race Truggies as well as Buggies which do you prefer(on dirt)? The truggy has a larger track and wider tire than the buggy so which would handle betteron track (dirt)?
Depends on the track. The more blown out a track is, the better the Truggy will be. On a smooth track, the Buggy will be faster. Truggy is more forgiving and the Buggyreacts to steering quicker. Although you can run a .28 engine in a Truggy, most do not. With equal engines,the Buggy will be fasterbecause it is lighter. The Buggy is hindered because of the narrow tires allowed, so it's more apt to traction roll.
