Yeah, that's the thing I'm finding with my truggy as well, there's so much more handling adjustments. Another thing me and the other guys at racing have noticed is that when looking at the cars on the pit bench, the truggy's front wheels turn more than even the UE maxx's and the gorillamaxx's. The front wheels also lean over more when at full lock on the truggy's, so you can tell why they give much better turning, especially through the slower tighter parts of the track.
When racing my maxx (it wasn't UE or gorilla, but it was a racing chassis, setup for racing), I couldn't get good lap times when trying to drive nice and smooth, it just didn't have good enough steering. So to go fast I had to drive it really hard, and always use the rear of the car to do the steering rather than the front. But for my driving skill it seems driving the truggy nice and smooth ends up faster. And the good thing about the slower, smooth driving style is that my consistency is much better and I rarely crash. My normal average with the truggy is about the same, if not slightly better than my best lap of the race would usually be with the maxx, except my average lap time with the maxx was always a 2 or 3 seconds behind my best. And the truggy's using old tires! I went from usually being lapped be the leader to keeping up with the leader. I don't know if it will be the same for every one, but that's what I've found so far.
One guy at my track with a full gorillamaxx and rcm slipperential, got the new Kyosho ST-RR and rcm motor mount from Mike a couple of weeks ago, and should have it ready soon I think. Another guy ("maxd out" on this forum) that has a UE/gorillamaxx with a slipperential is looking at getting a truggy to convert. The guy with the G2R is looking at truggy's, and 2 or 3 other guys that have been out of racing for a while should have their truggys finished soon as well, so racings looking good.
Sorry, I went on for a bit there, I'm just looking forward to racing on Saturday (and with new tires
) and I'm enjoying racing more than I have in a long time. I was getting a bit sick of the e-maxx.
