Default buggyra trucks

I know that the MAN, Mercedes Benz trucks are real trucks, and the Sisu trucks look like international or freightliners. Are the Buggyras a real truck or look like a production truck?

Your not the only one! the buggys look like sisus and the sisus look like freightliners in the United States. I thought the buggys were really cool when they looked so different.

The Irony is that Buggyra started racing FreightLiners before building their own truck!

Have to agree with you on that I love how cool they look for a truck! I love to run mine but really love how the MBs drive! Course they take a bit more work to tune in my opinion. Regards Gene

In our club I started calling the Buggy trucks BURT trucks..... Butt Ugly Racing Trucks. Now call them all BURTS

Somebody said somewhere that they look like a bulldog chewing on a bone

I wish to register offence at that remark. We are NOT as ugly as BURT.

I do however confess to racing BURT whenever I get a chance, despite owning at least one of each animal Fly made.
The Merc and MAN just look like two wooden blocks glued together.....

Buggyra is a private race team not a truck manufacturer.

They built their own racing special trucks like this specifically for racing.



They have since switched to racing "conventional" looking trucks using Freightliner cabs but the rest is Buggyra, engine, transmission, chassis etc. So the Fly model Buggyra is technically obsolete.

Technically neither Buggyra or Freightliner is listed manufacturer in European truck racing so I guess it would fall under Mercedes? Sort of like this



They also modify cars



BTW I have a Fly Racer Buggyra and I knew they were a race team, the rest I found by surfing.
