buggy or ST? for a newbie
Hey all,
I've narrowed down to two cars:
Kyosho Inferno tr15 buggy or,
Kyosho Stadium truck tr15.
Could some one explain to me what the main diffrencies are betwen the two?
I'm looking for something fast, and off-road. I've tried a monster truck, but i think its way to "heavy" to drive, bad handling...
I've heard that a ST is the same as a buggy, just with larger whiels. Is their handlng as good a a buggy?
I like the "style" of the buggy, fast, nice jumps and all that. But my friend got this monster truck, and it would be cool if i could drive in the same area as he can :P
Whats the main pros and cons with the two cars?
Thanks in advance!

RE: buggy or ST? for a newbie
They are definitely not the exact same thing..
Yes the ST has larger wheels, but is also longer, taller, and most importantly wider (by more than 3" in the case of these two Kyoshos).
We're talking larger suspension arms & shocks and therefore you get more travel so your suspension can keep the wheels in contact with the ground.
ST can still be fast, jump and have good handling, maybe not as good as some buggies, but will be much nicer than that of a monster truck.
Slightly higher center of gravity than a buggy, but in the right situation the higher COG wont matter.
If your friend has a monster truck, I'd really go with the ST... If you aren't racing it can get boring without anyone to drive with, so you should get something that can keep up with your friend's MT over rough terrain. Of course the best thing would really be another MT if you want to keep up, but personally I'm glad that I got the ST and my friend got the MT because I like the handling of my truck a lot better than his.
I can still drive over really rough terrain just like he can, maybe not as well but I was surprised that it could...
