apart from being 10th not 1/8th not really will for racing with the big truggys at gonerby it would get killed by them, hpi truggy is the trophy in 1/8th scale,
looks a good truck for a spot of bashing on the outside track after racing though! |

if you really want a nitro either truggy or buggy check out maxbashing as its predominently a 1/8th forum and has a busy sale section, if you have money to spend though ask around the club, i might even let my mugen go as a roller for around £125, but i want my engine etc

| Would it need just a engine or all electronics? |

| for £70 its worth a thrash round,its a good little truck to get you started,and not to much to find out its not what you want to do |

| Personally I would go for a buggy as more people seem to race them, but its whatever floats your boat really. Ive not owned a truggy but I have raced one a few times. They are easier to drive than a buggy but tyres generally cost a bit more. |

| Hpi trophy flux, mugen mbx6t Eco, Losi 8 e, serpent 811e, durango dex408 to name a few, nitro wise i would go buggy like tom said, truggys ate easier to drive but tyres are harder to get and only grinders really work and there about 30 quid a paire |
