This is the only one that I know of so far. It looks pretty good and it's priced reasonably at $500 rtr. To bad it doesn't have a MMM combo.

Yeah, I remembered the Trophy Truggy flux after I posted this. The Trophy Truggy is based on the old Hot Bodies Lightning Stadium truggy. In fact, its down right nearly the exact same truggy as far as suspension geometry is concerened. Uses the same chassis braces too so not much is different.
This is both good and bad. The original LSP was a great truggy for its time, and still makes an excellent club racer / basher for the beginner. Durable, easy to work on.
Price wise its not bad either. Consider some of the bargain basement E-Buggies like the OFNA Ultra LX2e roller for $200, but then you have to provide the electronics and its so easy to approach the Trophy's $500 price tag. Definitely worth the money.
Aren't the FLUX electronics essentially castle stuff re-branded? I can't remember. Actually, looking at the Flux ESC, it looks an aweful lot like the MMM case with its 3 caps. Same layout for the motor and power wires too. Did some searching and everything pointed to it being Castle rebranded stuff. Not sure what the motor is, but its probably a 15xx series.
