Robitronics Mantis or Muggy?

[squeeforever]

I'd go all out on a truggy (definitely not the Mantis) or just get the Muggy. I like the Muggys personally, but I don't know if I would take that over something like a D8T.

I chose the Mantis because Robitronics Headquarter is a 5 minute drive from my place. Spare parts are no problem thus.

There is no motor mount availabe for this truggy, so will have to come up with something on your own. Or use the multipurpose motor mount from tecno.

There sure are better truggys then the mantis from a quality point of view: Mugen Mbx5t, losi eight-T ...

Here is my conversion.

A muggy is a heavier vehicle then a a classic truggy and will need a bigger motor, better batteries to get it moving like a truggy. The muggy features higher quality parts then the mantis.

For the Mantis a Jammin X1CR buggy center diff assembly bolts right up to it. From there you could use one of Mike's CR mounts.

Personally I think the Mantis is a great truggy. It can really take hits but still perform like a champ. Have fun converting yours!
