Truggy

By Michael James, About.com

Definition: A cross between a stadium truck or monster truck and a buggy, a truggy is a combination RC vehicle specifically designed for off-road racing. It can be outfitted for rock climbing competitions as well.

The truggy is popular in the RC community because you don't have to choose between the stability of a truck or the agility of a buggy -- you get the best of both worlds. These 4-wheel drive vehicles have the general appearance of a truck, often with large monster truck off-road tires.
