Seems like I'm always the last to get the new craze.. though I did jump in on the Mini craze pretty quickly. Truggys seem to be taking over a lot of the news stories lately... who's got one? Who's gonna get one?
Do you Bash it? Race it?
feel free to chim in, and post some pics.

just got me a hellfire today. I must say talk about a quality built rtr truck. Absolutly not a millimeter of flex in that chassis. This truck as tons of potential to take top spots.

Truggy, Arena, UMT whatever you call it, is looking like the Pro class to me. Standard MT still has plenty of very fast trucks, but for the rookies (me) MT will be the place to race for at least this season. Future may include a truggy, or a big block MT but truggy class really flys, from what I have seen in person, and on the race result sheets.
Wish I could own both, so I could have the coolest stuff, but truggy will have to wait for more money and more skill.

That's a pretty good observation. Personally, I think it takes more skill to get the MT around the track without flipping. So if you practive and get good with the MT, you will OWN the truggy's when you get one.
It does sort of seem that it's more of a 'pro' class though.

And by pro I also mean to say that you will invest like a pro to stay fast....

dave all it takes is consistant running around the track to do good. Look at me, im not that fast on the track but i do stay pretty consistant. I crash every couple laps now were before when i first started it was 2 crashes a lap. Just gotta stay smooth and take your lines and you'll be good.

most come pre-made, but you can still fing convertion kits. but that = big money. there are so many rtr that its not worth building one.

Why would you want a cross between a truck and a buggy is there some kind of diffrence that makes it more stable and fast or something.
