You're tightening the upper shock nut too much! Leave it a little looser and allow the shock to articulate.

Thanks! that's what I heard @ the tracxk...just got sum Alum. shock bodies and Titanium shafts as well.. tripps should be NO PROB from now on??....Mess....

I dont own a mugg yet but this december when i get home from Iraq i plan on getting one. I dont plan to change very many things on it but was wondering if the suspension arms were the same as the lst2 cause my buddy out here in iraq has the lst2 and i like that one too but i see those alot so i want a muggy cause i just love the way it looks and sit's and from what i hear it performs like no other. So if you could just fill me in on this subject i would greatly appreciate it.

HerrSavage

Arms are the same.. Pretty much everything from the diff out to the wheels.. Then also bumpers, body posts, hmm.. think that's it..

What kind of suspension arms is everyone running cause that is the first thing i am going to buy and maybe some stiffer springs. I havent looked yet but i think rpm has a set of arms for the lst2.

HerrSavage

I'm skeptical that RPM's are worth it to be honest.. They're good for sure(have them on my LST2..), but they're expensive. Don't forget you need spacers and the Lunsford links to go with them...

Or, just buy 4 complete stock arms on ebay for a quarter of the price. It's a dead-easy fix, and to be honest I've broken 1 lower am in a year and 7-8 gallons of running.. I just don't think Muggys break arms that much.. - or at least enough to justify the cost of RPM's..

So my advice is buy 4 arms off ebay(along with a few other backups which are good to have on hand - hubs, shock shafts and shock rebuild kit, CLUTCH BEARINGS.. Your wing moutn will be the first thing to break.. Etc etc...) , and invest your money in a Fioroni clutch... Much better investment IMO... - defo worth the money... If you want the links from amain just ask...

Anyway, there are much better ways to invest in a Muggy IMO:

1.) clutch
2.) wheels/tires
3.) single-servo set-up
4.) engine/pipe
...

..pretty much in that order is how I look at it..

I like the way that the muggy looks, but to me there isnt that much of a difference between the lst2 and muggy is there or am i missing something. And is the muggy as durable as everyone says it is. Either way i am still going to buy it lol. But i just want to see what people that own them think. Thanks again for all the help.

I own a muggy and it is a beast!! THey are great cars for getting into nitro and they have the performance of more expensive cars. They will hold up great for bashing and with the right mods they can competively race with $900 truggies. (And you'll have a 3 pound weight advantage) LOL
The mach 427 has great power and is very drivable. It is also one of the easiest big block engines to tune. Here is mine and I wouldn't trade it for the world. As for RPM arms they are worth it for racing
Hope this helps!

hey there, i have a losi muggy with two standard servos? Which servo would be a great replacement? somewhere under the $150 range. thank you, brian

messn03

No idea on the servo..Maybe Hi-Tec??..anyway...Has anyone put 4 screws in their wing stay? Just did and hope it helps the stability/breakage issues....Mess[:@]

docphysics

This is the one I replaced my two servos with, and it works great, and under $100!

MuggyDude

There are a ton of great servos for under $150, I know JR has some good ones, if I remember correctly a really good one was the 9100T, some where around $115.

Now only if I could run my muggy here in winter!

20 degrees, here. Snap, snap snap snap. There goes my plastic parts! LOL

Time for Indoor RC micro Heli!!!!

What does the setup look like w/ 1 servo? Considering the mod for a WINTER project....BUUUURRRRR, gettin cold in MI too!!..lLater..Mess[:@]

revodog14

hey guys i have a question im getting rid of my revo and my bl e maxx and i wanted to get a nice truck either elec or nitro should i get rid of my revo in place of the muggy im more of a basher speed guy and not really racing should i get the muggy and what can i do to make it really fast

docphysics

you need to stiffen up the chassis of the muggy, or else chassis flex will kill your clutch bell and spur.

2DMaxLST!!

The weight of the stock tires/wheels and tall gearing are harder on clutch bell bearings than the chassis flex, the muggy has less than my Xray XT8 for instance. A one piece engine mount does wonders for this.


As far as a singe servo setup as a 'winter' project, it takes five minutes once you have the servo.

Decent setup with stock plate...




Best setup, still using this exact same servo over 2 years later in a Xray...

I have putted proline 40' wheels and tires on my truck , I found that all the wheels and tires keep shaking , when the car was runing. Someone said that this problem caused by having not balanced the wheels. I realized that muggy pre-mount big wheel and tires. can the wheels and tires of muggy keep balancing , while the car is running ? or should i balance the wheel by myself after i got my muggy ? thank you for you guys advice.

2DMaxLST!!

I have my own balancer. If you don't have one you should see if you can borrow or make one.... once you run balanced tires/wheels you will never want to run without balanced tires and wheels....

junior driver

thank you for you photo, it will solve my problem. should i glue some paper or clay on the opposite side of heavier side of the wheel ? could you show me your the photo of the balanced wheel ? thank you.

I've decided to OFF my Warhead EVO and set up my Muggy for racing in our local Monster truck class here in MI. That's what class they say I'd run in anyway(probably better than a Truggy class w/ all the Jammin's). My question is : What is the best overall set-up as far as fluids( diff's and shox), gearing, clutch, cb and spur gear and tire/rim combo. and radio/servo set. I'm running the stock motor w/ a carbon fiber Vantage pipe and it seems to have plenty of grunt. I know conditions will varie and have Badland Pro-Lines on Maximizer beadlock rims as of now. Any help is appreciated...Mess...[:@]

docphysics

Diff = 10, 30, 7 Shocks = 45 wt, 13T CB, tires = LPR bowties or crime fighters, radio = spektrum dx3.0

messn03

Thanks doc!! diff fluid is FR to Rear? Do you race? If so how do you do against other MT'S and what are you up against(REVO'S/etc?)..appreciate it all!![:@]..Mess

docphysics

Yea, diff = fr to rear. I race on a small track and its mostly revo's. Me and this other guy race Muggy's. He is way better than me and he usually finishes in the top 3. I've raced my muggy and my revo and finished in the top 5 with both.

Here is my muggy in action:
