Truggy selection after first race..
 

HI
I raced on the first electric offroad race in my country (Turkey) this weekend. Our class was mixed (buggy, truggy and monster) because of the lack of competitors. Our track is very very rough as you can see partly below.(Actually a lot worse than you can see:)).

I raced with a brushless converted hyper 8 pro buggy ( the yellow one on the pictures) and came third at the end of the day after a mbx5T and a Vorza driven by an experienced driver. I lived a lot of problems because of the rough track with my buggy and decided to drive a truggy for other upcoming races. I know I could drive much smoother because of the track conditions but come on this was my first race and I need a car more easy to control and durable. I choosed the truggy for controlability but which one for durability?
It shouldn't be the most pro or most adjustable chassis but have to be strongest one. I'm considering jammin X2 crt, Cen matrix tr arena and Mugen mbx6T. Actually Mugen is a little expensive for my budget if it has a significant advantage on durability I'll try to buy it.

RC8T Champinonship edition, converted to brushless using the RC-Monster kit of course

all my tools are metric:(

The RC8T uses metric hardware :-)

I didn't know that:oops: thanks

Is there a difference between rc8Be factory team and rc8B factory team? If not, I may consider to wait for rc8Te factory team

I am partial to mugen...I own 3...2 buggies and one truggy and love their durability.

6T. Best truggy yet. Very, very strong and light.

I have an RC8Te which is a TANK. Recently bought an MBX6T which also looks really good, but still have to order an electric conversion for that. But I've seen lots at the track and they looked awesome as well!

The RC8Be is a factory team electric buggy. The RC8B is a factory team nitro buggy.

I know that offcourse. I mean any differences on rolling chassis!

6t I have the xt8 also but have done some stupid things with the mugen and hadnt broken anything till I hit a metal curb full speed only broke the lower arm and bottom of shock easy fix but jumps awesome

Jammin x2 I own 2 of them n race them all year round.

-Did you ever use a MBX6T before. Can you compare them?
-Have X2 crt a weak or a problematic point? For example I lived much problems with my hyper 8 pro on steering knuckle and c-hub connection.

Hyper n jammin are different company n the cars are different. I don't own a mugen as I am a sponsored driver from jammin Singapore. Many of my friends who used to race jammin & now switch to mugen still did not improve.

I have no problems with the steering at all. Even a direct hit did not break it.

I find jammin cars reasonable price & a very tough car!

My vote goes to the 2009 spec xray XT8. Easy to drive, and really robust. After racing it for a year I still haven't broken anything!

get an associated rc8t (ft or CE) and put the M2C rear hubs on it and they are bullet proof.
