You can sleep in a car, but you can't race a house

I have always wanted a truggy and just want one to run around the yard and do some simple bashing. I got my son a brushless e-maxx and want somthing I can run with him with but will still handle better than a monster truck. So cheap is fine with me as I do not plan on racing again. I would LOVE to have a 8ight-t but its so much more than the trophy truggy would be and again Im not going to be racing again(just playing with my son)
Exactly the reason I have a truggy. The buggy is awesome, and nimble to the extreme. But it just cannot take big air, and curbs can occasionally be a problem if you wanna hop over one to get on the grass.

I can't stand how Savages and the bigger MT's handle and jump. Sure, they land big air well, as long as you land on your wheels and they are nowhere near as controllable in the air. The truggy soothes my Buggy addiction for speed/handling and still lets me fool around on rougher surfaces.

Still want to build a brushless buggy though.
