yep i believe they are going too .... i haven't got to race my truggy for a good 5 months, there just isn't any body runnin' em around my area any more .. buggy is a hot class tho .. if ya decide to look at a E Buggy check out the durango dnx 408 the E version is supposed to be out in a month and they have killer part support, plus parts are cheap too !!

ya that looks cool, any other companies following the truggy brushless path? Why haven't more companies come out with brushless truggies, is the truggy fading away, thats what I heard.

That looks like a MT2 chassis and is 1/10 not 1/8 scale , been around for quite some time now ......... Still this probably means the HPI 4x4 SCT will be coming along soon .

Trophy Truggy Flux
The Trophy Truggy Flux takes two of our most popular and exciting offerings and smashes them together to make a fantastic new kit that will be amazing racers and bashers all over the world! The Trophy Buggy Flux will be powered by a super-powerful bruchless motor and 2 2S LiPo batteries for awesome speeds and crazy stunts! The Trophy Truggy Flux is fitted with a steel spur gear, aluminium motor mount and the already extra-tough Trophy drivetrain and suspension, so you know it's strong enough for anything you can think of! With a 2.4GHz radio system installed it's even more convenient for wild speed runs straight out of the box!

I am pretty sure Caster is still the only one available in the US.
www.casterracingusa.com
There is a rtr with 2.4 radio and a pro kit.
