Sounds nice, you have some good parts there!

Sweet, another Muggy! Pics when you get it all together! Welcome to RCM!

thanks guys, pics will be on here in a few days! I cant wait to get this baby outside, its so lonely looking on my table! haha

Hey guys, I have a question. I just sold my thunder ac6 charger because it wont charge 6s on a wall socket. Do any of you have a suggestion for a good balancer/charger that will charge 6s batteries, I would like to be able to plug it into the wall as opposed to buying a power supply! :) Thanks guys!

first pics more to come guys along with running video by the end of the week! got a bec on the way and a new icharger 206b. :) cant wait to see this thing in action with the new 9000t servo and bl setup! I am going to have to order another batter tray to run some new turnigy 6s 45c packs too!

The Muggy chassis is prone to bending (hence the hard anodized chassis upgrade = expensive) - what I have done (and others have done similarly) is run a strip of of Al angle (1"x 1", 1/8" thick) from the front to rear bulkheads - just screwed down to the metal top plates. This gives an extremely rigid and strong truck.

awesome thanks brian!

Nice looking truck.

I would love to get my hands on a Muggy.

I thin I have seen others use Traxxas Pushrod/Turnbuckles to link the diff mount to the bulkheads for stability as well.

I didn't want to do this (although it works, too) because I didn't want the added strain on the CD mount.

Here's mine:

The Al angle goes above the CD mount without touching it. I filed one end of the angle to fit flat against the top plate (the front end is kicked-up).

awesome pic and idea brian! I am going to do something similar if I dont end up buying the innovative rc chassis. I would love to own that gorgeous thing, but the price of 100 usd is pretty damn high considering that I only paid 200 for the muggy brand freaking new with a brand new mach 427 and nitro equip, fresh with a dx 3.0 that was brand new as well. But this looks to be a much cheaper quick fix! I would love to be the first one in the market place to come up with a production aftermarket fix to the chassis flex issue. I have yet to find a place to jump high but Ive got my eye on a few bashing spots to see what this thing has in its pants! Thanks for taking the pics for me bud! cham
