Mod List:
\Front and rear black RPM a-arms
\Front and rear black RPM shock towers
\Integy blue aluminum Caster Blocks and Rear Knuckles
Front and rear Proline Desperado 2.8'' black rims
Front and rear Proline 2.8'' Badland tires
Proline Chevy 2500 HD body (painted and detailed by myself)
Other miscellaneous parts such as body clips, body posts, tools, paint, and extra parts.

*I've only had this rustler for about a month and decided to go for more of a offroad basher with a monster truck style. Had to custom fit the Chevy 2500 Proline body but it was surprisingly easy.

Pretty basic jato 3.3 1 speed conversion and upgraded suspension and thats all i need.. i love this truggy.
 
u guys consider stadium trucks truggys? to me, there more of a truggy than a "stadium truck" the short course trucks are more of a stadium trucks. any truck that has wheels outside of the body like a buggy (except monster trucks obvioulsy), is more of truggy than anything

i wish they made some kind of universal 4wd kit, i would turn my GT into a "truggy"

wouldn't the term "truggy" match it alot better tho? cuz they don't really look like stadiums trucks,lol

stadium trucks...the original truggy:cool:
 
No not really, the Short Course truck, truggy and Stadium are all a seperate genre of racing. A SC is a SC....Granted many of the trucks have interchangeable parts among the same maker but does not mean they are the same. I have a HPI MT2 4x4 stadium truck 1/10 scale. It uses the same spur gear and bell gear as my Savage but they are no where near the same truck. By the way the biggest portion of stadium trucks are 1/10 scale 2 wheel drive. The SC truck come in 1/10, 1/8 and even 1/5 scale 2 and 4 wheel drive. So I can't agree with ya on that one.

But actually the ORIGINAL truggy was a 4x4 1/8 scale buggy beefed up to be almost a MT. Truggys are a cross between a buggy and MT.
 
This is as Truggy as I can make a TMaxx and still keep it a MT by definition.

Or change the chassis and make it a Truggy by definition.

i know what all is what. i just always thought the "stadium truck" looked more like a buggy with a truck body, than an actual "stadium truck"
 
Do the truggies stand taller then the buggies do? My buggy sits a bit to low for most of the terrane around here. I seem to smack a bunch of hidden rocks... :( I was thinking truggie for my next ride. any suggestions? I'm talken rough dirt and gravel ect....

they should sit a little higher since the tires/wheels are bigger. but either way their both still low. sounds like you need a monster truck,lol
 
Monster trucks are fun but don't have the appeal to me lately. Thought maybe a truggie may get me where I want. I'll just have to keep looking around I suppose! Oh and 1/8 scale for my next ride for sure!

Its not a truggy but I'm trying to make it look like a truggy... larger tires, higher off the ground... it looks more like a truggy in my opinion than a stadium truck.

A stadium truck kinda looks like a stadium truck to me.
