truck,truggy, or buggy
 

which one of these rigs stock are stronger and good brushless basher? Right now i have a e-maxx and i don't think it will hold up to brushless power, but i kinda like the truggy look. i am looking for several models and brands of each kind and a quick description of them. i also have a rustler and a t-maxx but traxxas aren't really all that strong so i think i might just sell my whole rc collection and start off fresh. all i really want is a good fast strong rig that can go alot of places and give anybody a good run for their money:).


I really apreciate any help that you can help me with.
Many thanks.

You should look into a Revo. Its got to be one of the strongest trucks I've ever heard of.

i really like truggies though.
they look pretty cool and dont have a transmission.

i kinda like these

would these be good candidates for a brushless conversion?

i really like the muggy!

I would get the 8ight out of those two just because you would have to make your own motor mount for it. Arent these trucks the same tho? Just bigger tires right?

To me it just depends on what type of terrain you bash in. If lower CG and flat chassis works for you then go for the truggy or buggy. I would love to have a converted XT8, but as a basher that hits some pretty nasty rutted trails, it just wouldn't work well.

If you need some ground clearance, hit up the MT. My E-LST2 works great for what I want out of a bashing truck...

Would the muggy be a good brushless conversion?

has anyone done a muggy conversion, is so details would be nice.

I got one (Muggy), I love it. I should start a thread with some pics I guess.

That would be great.

A muggy is basically a LST with a center diff and pan chassis, I would honestly go with the 8ight-T if you want to build a losi. What are you looking to do with it, are you looking to race it or just bash it? Personally I like my MBX5-T over my 8ight-T.

i am a basher, a lot more calm.

Id still go with the 8ight-t its alot lighter then the muggy, less weight more speed :)

I did a muggy when they first came out. Just homemade a motor mount for it. The muggy drove and handled great. But is was a little heavy. All in all a nice truck.

i like the big tires that the muggy has would those work on the 8ight?

If you want that look, go with a muggy conversion. You can probably make the 20mm hubs work with an 8t (anything is possible I guess), but you would be adding back a lot of the weight difference between the muggy and 8t.

From what I've heard from the Nitro Losi guys, the muggy's main problem comes from the nitro clutch. Otherwise, it seems to hold up nicely. Should be a real nice conversion to electric.

If you are looking for a solid off road basher, I would go with the Revo or LST2. The Revo has a center diff conversion and both tranny's on either truck will hold up to brushless fine. The chassis on buggies and truggies will become a downfall when really pushing it off road bashing. Buggies and truggies are great track cars and okay bashers. The Revo and LST2 are both great bashers and do well on the track too, especially the revo. My revo has taken everything I have thrown at it in stride and is night and day when compared to a t or emaxx.

HERE it is.

My LST snapped its bulks and engine brace off one bad landing :)

My big block revo kills tranys and spurs in every run

I would like to know why a truggys chassis is its down fall?

Ya me too? Does the links break or something? The revo look like a great truck. But It takes some skill to make a clean conversion.

Mt's usually have more ground clearance in the center than they do at the front and rear, so it makes it easier to drive over stuff like rocks, curbs and other obstacles. Truggies, buggies and a lot of MT racing chassis's are flat underneath and can get stuck easier when driving over obstacles.

^^^^^^^What he said^^^^^^^

Anything can break, bad things happen.

I asked because most truggys/buggys chassis (and if its a pro kit) and braces are made from 7075.
