Look at what I found on Horizon Hobbies site

What of it? Thats nothing new...I don't see how that pertains to anything.

I guess I'll take a stab at it, how about a brushless 8ight Pro buggy.

I'm just speculating but with Losi being in-bed with Horizon this may be conected. I've not seen the motors above till now.
Thanks for keeping an open mind and being so welcoming.

All I'm saying is that I don't see any connection whatsoever. There made by Trinity. Its just that Horizon is selling them. I'm sure Tower will be too. It wouldn't make any sense to use a Trinity motor when they have there own line of brushless ESCs and motors...

Tower does sell the trinity motors, plus they will not be tha good on a brushless mt. Keep in mind the kind of setup required to put "50 mph" on the box. Most people are not going to drop the extra cash to go electric if the speed is not there. The new emaxx was a bold step for traxxas, as large electric is still a small segment. The were wise and developed a rtr that was good for wet areas, and also had potential for brushless power. Many emaxx buyers will leave it stock and play in the snow, or just outdoors in mixed terain. Traxxas provided a vehicle that can satisfy two different types of driver, which is difficult these days.

It would be nice if losi brought out a brushless mt, but I do not think that the time is right yet. Plus it would be an all new platform (if it is 10th scale, or similar in size to the emaxx) and who is to say that it will be any good. The xxx series are great race vehicles, but not as sturdy as a rustler, or as upgradeable. I love my xxx-cr, but I do not bash it like my stampedes.

Its not a lil muggy. This was posted on another forum from Jason at rcdriver.

Guys...

The Lil' Mug is a truck built by a co-worker of mine, David Baker. He's the Staff Illustrator and one of the Editors at RC Driver magazine.

The Lil' Mug was a project he built with a Sportwerks Chaos and a Mini-LST.

That's a Parma body, painted by Dan Wyatt (think "Wyatt Bronco") with Lil' Mug decals that he cut on a Roland Stika. The window nets were cut from scraps of red vinyl and that "1/2" you see was an idea I thought would be funny since the larger one had a "1" on it.

But it's funny how much talk that thing has generated on the various forums...people like it.
