Wondering which 1/8 electric buggy or truggy to buy? Tekno's EB48 2.2 is the car more racers run than any other in 2026, by a wide margin, and its ET48 2.2 is the truggy of choice. We counted the setups saved in the RC Setup App this year: 1,398 racers added or updated a setup for one of the 73 1/8 electric buggies and truggies in the app during 2026. By class, that's 1,293 buggy and 278 truggy racers, and a racer with cars in more than one class counts in each.
The percentage under each car is the share of racers in that class who run it. A racer counts once per car no matter how many setups they've saved. Counts updated November 2026.
