I would go with a buggy for racing, I had a relatively cheap old buggy (hot bodies Lightning 2 Pro) and a more modern and expensive truggy (Xray XT8), while the truggy's bigger and wider wheels and tyres mean it can go places things the buggy can't (long grass, thick mud) that means nothing for racing as a buggy will easily cope with the worst tracks I have seen, the buggy out handled it massively with its lower CoG, I really don't like the truggy handling with its excessive weight transfer giving oversteer going into corners under breaking and understeer coming out under acceleration. My truggy felt like a point an squirt machine good grip, acceleration and brakes, but poor handling like a Mustang, whereas my buggy was pretty quick everywhere and faster into and out of corners like a Lotus.





Go Lotus!
