Anyone reading this whose track has a truggy class will attest when tell you seeing 8-12 world class truggies, digging in, biting down, and get straight roaring around a track is perhaps the most imposing ting in this hobby., At our old track, it sucked because the pros were always there (FACTORY drivers for X-Ray and Agama) and they'd enter the truggy class as a means to let of some steam between buggy heats so it was pretty much balls to the walls racing. loved every second of watching just not being humiliated (but I guess everything heat/main after that seemed easy) ;-)
IMO they drive more like MT than a buggy (where everything is twice as fast) , and I think FLB who get truggies don't always appreciate them for what they are.
My desire is to get a truggy that has a solid foundation, but crazy (i.e. real) power on it, and pretty much let it bully whenever.wherever. You see, this time I AM jeapordizing the integrity of it being a truggy, and going hog-ass wild on turning it in to quasi- puerile truck....a straight tribute to Ricky Bonbby Lee. Truly building the type of MT he desperately wants but cannot obtain. I agree in principle with the concept. Lower, wider MT handles better. So mine will be starting out with those attributes. More to come but here is my short list:
No Order o Preference: (I will purchase most likely next month)
1. Losi 8ight-T 3.0: The 8ight series is second to no brand, That' real shit
2. Mugen MBX7T. I all about this truggy. Inspired me to do this project.
3. Tekno NT48.x: With XRay not having a truggy in their lineup, Tekno becomes the brand I'm most interested in. I hear fascinating things, durabiloty is not one, but that doesn't mean a damn thing.
4, Kyosho Inferno ST-RR READY SET:hat's right, READY SET. Why in the worled would a guy with ~35 engines ~50 pipes, over 60 servos, four starter boxes, etc. get something meant for folks who don't have those items. Well, this is almosrt a perfect scenario. I can sell off the engine/pipe/servos. etc for ~$200. I drive the truggy silly, and upgrade with the kit parts as needed...use whatever leftover to get the 'tuned' version of whatever engine I'm puting in it. ;-)
Seriously, I know little abouty the Ready Set, but it sounds just like that Losi 8ight RTR. Take a look at mine and tell me what you think.

See, that's called getting what we want when we want. In other word the Ready Set allows you to truly build off need. I'm intrigued.
I mentioned my epiphany in experiencing occurred when I put on a 25xz on my Hyper 7.
My epiphaneclic* moment came in watching came when I saw ST RR EVO rocking a Bonito clear a triple, landing behind two buggies that were battling on the track, and the truggy plowed through them, seemed to dig in a shot off like a rocket. To this date it was the meanest RC vehicle I've ever see
*I know it'a not a word, but it should be
Anyways, here in a month give or take a few weeks, I'm takig out ome angst and building a real bully. You can watch and,......well you can watch.
