Truck or Buggy?

[LRL17Bob]

Which do you think is better? Truck or Buggy?

I want to get either a Team Losi XXX or XXXT,
or a Team Associated RC10T3 or RC10B3.

What are the good points for each? the bad?
What is better for handling? speed? durability? jumpability? back yard bashing? racing? battery life?

I know that's a lot to ask but any help would be great.

All are opinions:
Better: either
Losi XXX or XXXT
Good Buggy: Fast, lighter, more nimble
Bad Buggy: less stable
Good Truck: more stable, still fast, full body
Bad truck: less nimble, a little slower(on track)
Handling: buggy
Speed: buggy
Durability: equal, buggy possibly because tires are lighter and arms are shorter
Juming: TRUCK
Bashing: TRUCK
Racing: go for the one with most attendance
Run time: not noticable

I have a XXX-T I got one because I didn't want to have a T3 and then not long after that a T4 might come out. A truck is better for someone that doesn't as much experience but if you get a buggy your skills will improve more. Losi or Associated? They are both high quality cars if your hobby shop doesn't have parts for one get the other one otherwise flip a coin.

Trucks and buggies are GREAT, I prefer Losi, cuz I am a loyal, but i have found that BOTH brands are very competitive, I think that the Losi is faster, but the Associated seems to have better quality(read: Stronger) But a truck is like driving in slow motion, you stomp the throttle, and it gradually goes, whereas buggies are instant, and trucks are a little slower turning, but one major thing is when you race(i think you are planning on that) head out to the track, adn if it is rough, then the trucks can sometimes run faster due to the wider tires, and can outdo buggies, I say go buggy first, i did, and i am doing EXTREMELY well in my class right now, i run circles around the trucks(BTW, I have the XXX)
