buggy or revo? - dirtguy90 - 09-08-2005

hey, idk what's goin on with my friend and the buggy thing, but which would be better for a good bashing session thingy...to go off a big ramp and not break too much. im not lookin for too much speed, to much speed prolly isn't good if im new to nitro.

I dont plan to race for...quite a while and i hope to get the truck around christmas time, it not a lil later, thx guyz!! :wavey:

I like bashing MT's more than buggy's, they are just funner


buggy or revo? - Michowski - 09-08-2005

well the revo is gonna be better for a basher but the buggy is gonna have the durability it sounds like you want. Only problem with the buggy is you can only drive on a mostly smooth surface. You can still go through grass and maybe some small dirt trails but but thats about it. Revo you can literally go anywere and bash it.

Revo. MT's RULE!!!


buggy or revo? - Tex - 09-13-2005

buggies can go just about anywhere a revo can. wanna test my skills? lol


buggy or revo? - PoPRC - 09-13-2005

Couldnt you get the buggy and turn it into a truggy? Best of both worlds?

Not that I know what I am talking about or anything. Cause I dont.


buggy or revo? - Tex - 09-13-2005

yes your right dude


buggy or revo? - Notochord - 09-13-2005

cant buggies not take as much height on a jump as a MT


buggy or revo? - Obsessive R/C - 09-13-2005

As I see it...buggies will take all the height you'd want....cartwheel like crazy...land on the wheels AND drive away. Monster trucks break often on BIG jumps. Although a select few modified MT's will survive.


buggy or revo? - Mr. Tune - 09-13-2005

Buggies have the durability and speed to jump houses, lol. I've seen it on a few videos :eek:


buggy or revo? - Notochord - 09-13-2005

i saw that video.i was thinking about shocks but bottoming out isnt that bad.


buggy or revo? - Tex - 09-13-2005

Your supposed to bottom out and buggies will jump higher and farther than MT's, no problem.


buggy or revo? - dirtguy90 - 09-13-2005

yeah, i've seen those videos and the car looks like it lands just terribly and the body falls off, which is nothin and i saw a MT jump about....15 feet, land just as bad as the buggy and he broke the suspension arms and one of the shocks. :bustingup

what do u guyz mean by "bottom out" a buggy?


buggy or revo? - SixVi6-Camaro - 09-13-2005

"bottom out" is when the chassis hits the ground. Its not just buggies that do it either. Any RC can and should bottom out the chassis before the shocks run out of travel.


buggy or revo? - dirtguy90 - 09-15-2005

oooh ok, that was my guess but ya gotta check up ya know? i was at the lhs and i looked at some buggies....they looks pretty durable, the parts were thick and looked much stronger then the t4 and it looks like a good investment, this one came with everythig and was 275 or 375, which isn't too bad Smile but it stinks cuzz i can't remember what kinda buggy it was, i think it was an ofna but im not sure
i'll write stuff down next time

Get a Savage!! Big Grin


buggy or revo? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 09-16-2005

Don't make me bring back the Savage avatar...................grrrrrrrrrr


buggy or revo? - squirrel - 09-16-2005

hey leave the savage alone, when we raced in st. louis my savage didn't break, motor sucked, but it didn't break. on my buggy i snapped a drive shaft and stripped out one of the screws for the knuckle. ii wasn't jumping either i was being gentle to get a feel for the track. i/m/h/o get a good buggy and turn it into a truggy, or get a revo(if you plan on racing someday) or if you just want to bash and want durability get a savage!! j/k i have a savage but would love to get a revo to! six has a really good truggy for sale!


buggy or revo? - dirtguy90 - 09-25-2005

hey, i saw a mugen at the lhs and it looked pretty good, but i can't find it online...idk exactly what it's called but it was only $270, so if nebody knows what it was, let me know if it's any good
thx


buggy or revo? - Tex - 09-25-2005

sounds like you saw the MSR kit. That is a truggy kit you utilize on a MBX5 buggy. So you need the buggy to use that kit.


buggy or revo? - rocco79 - 09-25-2005

sell a kidney for that set up!!! LOL!!! Its a high quality race truck but the upgrade kit goes for 250 i think and the buggies arent by any means a bargain


buggy or revo? - destroy_my_revo_15 - 09-27-2005

i personally have both a buggy and i REVO but i like the REVO to bash and to mess around at LH and the buggy just runs the streets around here dont get it much to the track tho


buggy or revo? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 09-27-2005

So if you turn a buggy into a truck it's a truggy. If you turn a Revo into buggy is it a Bevo?


buggy or revo? - PoPRC - 09-27-2005

IDK mb a ruggy.


buggy or revo? - DAVEC-NITRO-RS4 - 09-28-2005

Ruggy is what Scooby Doo would call it!
