whats a good truggy
Hey guys I'm looking either getting a truggy or a savage .Is there any truggy that is good for light bashing like 3 or 4 foot jumps that doesn't break everytime you jump or play around ?

Thunder tiger ST-1 go visit the THUNDER TIGER ST-1 forum I only has my throttle servo go out b/c it was sitting in a puddle of water in the chassis and messed it up the only breakages that I have heard of are 2 broken a-arms and that was out if the 85 pages....... Pretty much any truggy is a good truggy but IMO the ST-1 is the best for what you want to do with it. The engine is very reliable, and easy to tune!

the first 2 and add CRT, and the matrix tr to that list. a truggy is stronger then a MT for sure.

At $299 - another $25 it is a amazing deal. You get good servo's(both high torque and metal gear), crappy radio but works, really good quality motor(not the best reving but a new pipe makes it perform really well, this can also be considered a suggestion with most RTR vehicles), outstanding durability well pretty much indestructible still haven't figured out a way to break mine.

Team losi muggy. I'd have to say it's tougher than some other truggies, because it's built for bashing, and not as much for racing.
If you dont have very much space, maybe a crt.5? I'm going to order a crt.5 in 2 or 3 weeks =-]

This whole thing that bashers are harder on trucks then racers is a load of crap
i've bashed.. and race.. track ALWAYS wears on the truck far more then bashing..

+1 for the thunder tiger st-1 for the price it looks like you cant beat it. ive heard nothign but good things about them
but thats just my thoughts as i havent tried any of the other ones.. i think youll be happy with whichever truggy you decide to go with.

RE: whats a good truggy
you arent bashing right if you think racing is harder on a truck.
I am convinced though that my crt is every bit as durable or more so than my old savage(which is a great basher).
