I use eBay and Amainhobbies for my parts. The only upgrade I'd do out of the box (if I were to buy another one) would be the RPM arms with adapters (needed to fit properly, they're made for the original LST) and replace the RPM turnbuckles with Lunsford titanium turnbuckles. Otherwise it's extremely tough out of the box and is, aside from my Baja 5B, my most favorite RC. I managed to crack a diff case and stripped the front diff after ~20 hours of hard use, replaced with aluminum LST cases and have nearly 200 hours on them and all I've done is take them out 1 time to re-grease the ring and pinion. It simply stands up to all the punishment I can throw at it and comes back for more. I really like the big wheels, too. I had considered going to regular MT or Truggy wheels but it's just not the same without massive wheels and tires, I got some off a LST XXL on eBay for about $45 shipped and they look and perform great. My MMM should be back sometime next week, I'm anxious to get it up and running again.
If Losi is discontinuing the Muggy, they had better be replacing it with something better. It's a great truck and if it were cheaper (roller) and had tougher A arms it would be the Truggy to get for bashing.
All I ever wanted was an honest weeks pay for an honest days work.
