scottb123 Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 What's a buggy like off road and jumPs etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHUNKERLUV Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 buggys are better jumpers more maneuverable and tougher than anything else on the market. They are truely a bashers dream. Unless you run on rocky ground then there sh11te. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suicideneil Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Buggies are a racer's dream- not so great for bashing on anything other than short grass or hard/smooth dirt. A truggy would be a better choice for a basher due to better ground clearance + better handling than a monster truck. As it was said though, it really depends on whether you want an MT, a buggy or truggy- then you can decide on a specific model or brand. Pro-tip: look at the gazzilions of videos on youtube and see which type of vehicle appeals most- you can see all 3 types on all kinds of different terrain and being driven differently....

scottb123 Posted January 7, 2012 Author Share Posted January 7, 2012 Thanks guy is it better to buy new or second hand first nitro really any one recommend a good bashing trigger cheers lads Atvb scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitroholic Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 Better to buy new for a first car if you can afford it. That way you learn to break in and tune an engine....and you know it isn;t broken! Used trucks can have all sorts of issues that can cause you grief if you don;t know what to look for. If you have friends who know nitro then second hand saves you a bundle of cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimmytheone Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Having just been at a bash where there where both the 8ight and 8ight t i can say that both the buggy and the truggy can take a serious hammering, the owners say the handling is superb too.
