I WANT pure speed and handling while I'm getting good durabilty but should I choose Stadium truck or 8 scale buggy?

If you want all 3 then it has to be a buggy and 1/8th is definately the way to go. The RallyX scene is huge atm and is just getting stronger.

1/8 buggies are, by nature, faster than ST's. I have an RC10GT and an XTM X-terminator...and I wouldn't give either one up. as for which one is better...the GT might have a slight edge because it'll run a minute or two longer on a tank of fuel.

You just have to go with the buggy....if you've got enough money, stadium truck are weak, tempermental, and much slower than a buggy.

I cant find any truth to your statement what so ever. Never broke a part on my GT (didnt beat the crap out of it but I would hardly call it weak), was never tempramental (same tuning issues as the 1/8th), and it wasnt any slower on track than a 1/8 scale with a single speed tranny.

Well i gues your track is differnent, at mine the buggies are smokin' the st's.

I was going to buy a truck but another racer told me that buggies were easier to use in some areas while trucks are better in others. like traction, with 4wd you dont have to worry as much about getting the power to the ground, because you have 2 more wheels delivering the power.

a descent buggy will be tougher than any ST, its just known fact, some .21s are much easier to tune than any SB, but there are STs that will beat a buggy for top speed but never on the off-the-line shoot out of the hole

A propoly tuned buggie will pass a truck any day

JNS

uh... there are no buggys that will hit 50 out of the box RTR....

top-end, my .15SS powered RC10GT is slightly faster than my .247 Pro-powered X-T. course, that .15SS slings fuel all over the place like my T-bird dribbles PS fluid on the driveway.
