I know i read somewhere about the differences. Can the buggys take the abuse of jumping like a truck?
Thanks

a truck xxxt or t3 is based on the same main chassis as a buugy but a truck is some what more durable

Trucks are generaly more durable because the huge tires soak up more of the bump before it transfers to the suspension. It's almost like having longer travel. They are also wider which adds more stability.

If you want something to just take abuse, you could probably go for a Monster Truck, though you would lose some speed (depending on the motor) you'll be able to climb over, and smash into lots of stuff.

I have a RC10T3, RC10B2, and a Stampede. They are all good the Pede is a good jumping truck but it flipps alot just driving the b2 is great but its low and driving on grass it slows it down and it will bottom out on big jumps. The Stadium Truck I think is the way to go. If you want a good jumper with speed go with the stadium truck. Get a set of dirt hawks I think they are and you can convert from racer to fun truck in a few min.

It really depends on the individual buggy. Appart from the body, the only thing that differs between a buggy ans a stadium truck. is the front wheels and in some cases the front suspension. If the front wheels are very narrow and the front shocks are small then no they don't handle jumps as well. Monster trucks are the best for jumps

I've tried hard to kill my graphit rc10 buggy.......it's not gonna happen
the shell breaks.........but the shell will brake on any car
and as for bottoming out.....a jump isn't decent if the car doesn't bottom out :D
i was told that "nah nah buggy can't handle it" but that's a load of snot
as long as it's quality it'll go hard
