Default Which one?

I plan one getting a buggy to race my friend's Hellfire(HPI). IT will go on bumpy, flat, short, and long tracks.

If u will win, then he'll say that u have a buggy and he has a truggy. So it isn't fair that u won. Buggies are lighter and have better handling. Why dont u get a truggy. The mayhem ST (RTR) is a pretty fast one. I smoke all the hellfires at the track. If ur still looking for a buggy, mayhem pro or turmoil pro would be good. Sportwerks makes good products!!

all of those buggies will beat a truggy permitted that they have decent eguiptment so i would say the hyper 7 as that will free up some money to put twords a engine and nice radio system

Eh actually a lot of the pro truggy average lap times are as fast or even faster then the pro buggy class. A friend of mine is keeping up with me using his very well setup LST on a tight track. My fastest laps with the buggy have been in the mid 28 second range and avg about 29.5 to 30. second laps and we were pretty much dead even in performance.

I noticed you want something to run on basically any conditions . The hyper 8 has been stable everywhere. No need to change suspension setups yet whether the track is smooth or bumpy it always handles great. With my MP777 I gotta have stiffer suspension on a smooth track and soften it up on a bumpier track otherwise it feels kind of sloppy on one or the other if I leave it in one place. The truggy will have an advantage on the bumpy tracks because the ground clearance and tires will take the bumps better.
