What is a buggy?

If you are getting into RC and look to race, you will hear the term buggy used for many of the vehicles you will probably be looking at. Buggies are usually 1/10th-1/8th scale RC's, and are pure bread racing machines. Buggies sit low to the ground, to provide the optimal CG (Center of Gravity), and also are long while not being to wide so that they can coner on a dime. Buggies usually only have one gear, and have no transmissions. They are usually ran directly from the clutcbell to a center differential, which is made up of a spur gear and differential that puts the power to the front or the back of the car more depending on the differential fluid it is filled with. They are fast, handle great, durable, and are a blast to drive. If you are looking to race, a buggy could be the right thing for you.
