lookin for a truggy rolla
 

so 've narrowed it down to 3 possibilities:
Kyosho st-rr
Mugen Mbx5t
Ofna Jammin CRT

any input would be helpful. I'm looking for handling and durability.
Thanks!

anyone?
Also castle creations black friday sale looks right...I'm looking between the 1520 and the 1717 motors for a Losi Muggy project thats been lagging on for almost a year now. the 1520 is 88mm in length and the 1717 is 83mm...and it says ideal for Muggy applications.
Thanks!

I have and RC-m Rc8t forsale, Rebuilt and all fresh. i sent ya a pm about it.

Thanks. But how does the RC8T compare to the mbx5t or st-rr as far as balance and durability?

st-rr from durability point of you = JUNK - at least from what I have seen at races with ST-RR not finishing quite often

MBX5T is tank that will survive everything

RC8T can withstand quite a lot of punishment but not as much as mugen however it is more agile.

The rc8t will handle way better than either of those and is closer to the mugen in durability with the st-rr being pretty low on durability.

the rc8t is a much better truck than either of those...

Its also a newer truck, so its more on par with the MBX6T

so does everyone think that the associated rc8t is better than mbx5t?

by far, i had an RC8 and an RC8T and both were VERY good to me.only cracked an arm on the T by planting it on the track stakes.--josh

hows the ofna crt x2?

I bought an RC8Te myself. Am very happen with it so far. Has taken a nice beating on a BMX track without any trouble.

I own a mbx-5t and would put it up against ANY truggy as far as durability goes...in saying that, if you are going to race, the newer truggies will handle better.

If you could pick up a used mbx-6T, that would give you the best of both worlds

Thanks Mag...but doesnt the mbx6t have some durability issues? I will be bashing for the most part...
I am also looking at a Jammin CRT X2 those look pretty good.

I am not sure...my 5T is bomb proof so that is what my basis stems from

so the mbx5t is as durable as truggies get, and its got handles as well. so what about pitting it up against a Jammin CRT X2?

As far as durability: I have run the 6T since august racing every weekend. NOTHING has broke. I guess I race and don't bash, however we take 30' doubles 10' in the air at our track. If that isn't testament for durability, I don't know what is. Plus getting pushed and smacked around with other truggies going 30-40mph.

The 6T is definitely better than the 5T (I had a 5T). I never drove the RC8T, I am sure it's good. It is a newer release, so it's longer, possibly thinner. All new

If you can afford it, get a 6T. I got mine from amain for 495$.

Thanks tedo! What about the CRT X2?

I haven't seen any run yet (X2). There are a couple CRT 1s at the track, and they seem okay.

Here's the deal, whatever anybody runs, they will say "theirs" is the best (myself included). All I know for certain is the newer generations of truggies are really, really good. They have added length, thinner, wider and lighter. I don't think you can go wrong with a newer truggy. My 6T and a losi 2.0T rule our track every week.

I know you originally asked about older models, however you may wish you would've gotten a newer version the more you invest...

ok thanks again for ur input! I think I'm going to decide (whatever I can find cheapest) between the Mbx6t, the CRT x2, or the Team Associated RC8t.
