Keep Truggy or go Buggy? - Ponch - 07-13-2006
I'm all confused. I'm not sure if now I want to keep this truck as a truggy or if I want to change it back to a buggy. I realize that if I do keep as a truggy I'll most likely not get very far with it, and if I changed back to buggy it'd be a bit more even, not my driving skills but the cars theoretical capabilities.
I just want to know your guys' thoughts on the whole matter.
To get it to buggy status I'd need a new body, tires, and motor. Is it worth it? I'm sure for $150 I could get it to be a buggy.

If I remember right, it's Six's old K2 Buggy/"Cheater" Truggy. Just need some Buggy rims and tires to convet it back. I don't think Six changed the gearing ratio.

You don't need a new motor unless you plan on running in a sanctioned race. And even at those, there is an intermediate class (which allows bigger than .21 motors I think).
At a regular club race, no one will care what motor is in you're buggy or truck.

When racing a Buggy, you are limited to a .21 engine (In sanctioned races). It has a bigger engine in it now, as a Truggy.

Why's it a money pit now? I haven't really broken anything...

Already has a center diff... Yeah I'm checking fleabay now for tires.

If I ran intermediate class at RCPS with the .28 would anybody really care all that much?

I just checked the rcps rule book and need to take back my comment above. Rules state .21 only. I didn't see any seperate rules for the expert and intermediate class, so I assume it's the same for both.
I say change to buggy.

Dangit. If I do go buggy, I'll just pick up an OS21RG. I liked it when I had the same buggy before lmao.

i dunno i just mean it was a money pit to make it a truggy just MHO. You really wouldnt waanna run a .28 in a buggy, wheel spin all day lol

Come on mikey, tell him, you know you want to...

LoL...Naa I'll stick to whats I gots.... But yeah IDK mabye I can pick up some cheap tires or something... And a body too, that I'll paint the same damn design on again but it won't turn out half as good! lol
Keep Truggy or go Buggy? - FreeRideFrosty - 07-13-2006
Well I think I am picking up buggy (GS Storm from Tune) which is probably roughly on the same level as the K2. We can run in the back of the buggy pack together. I am going to run whatever I can for now and can always change later if I get some money.
(Tune you have no idea how much I appreciate this offer.)

yeah that's what I was kinda thinking too... You're fun to hack on the track lol... Ahh back to the good old opening days of LH when they shut the lights down on us when we were in the middle of racing lol....

Dan not busting ur balls, but the K2 is head over heals better than the GS buggy just noting from experience

I did change the gearing.. It is running LSP ring and pinions front and rear. You can keep the LSP ring and pinion gears in it though and convert it to a buggy. Just use a 17t CB with the buggy wheels and body with a .21.

That or I can take an hour and change the gears out.... Shouldn't be too hard.

It's ok Mikey. I'm still cooler than you though. :-D Honestly though.... I don't think I need much more than a storm right now, and I thin kthere are some adjustments Matt may not need on his buggy. I think if we are set up well we would be a pretty good match for each other. I had fun racing him before. We were always pretty even.

Yeah, but that was cause you jumped some tubes to keep up with me :p:

You're lucky I can't fight right now. If I get hit in the stomach I could get sent to the hospital, emergency surgery, or worse.....
