Yea- thats a hefty price indeed. Not that the SC8 is not worth it, just more then I can spend. I love the 1/8th buggy/ truggy platform of the SC8. But to convert my Muggy Id need to find buggy arms that would fit, since it shares suspenion bits w/ the LST2 that seems like a longshot. It would be easier to start w/ a truggy that had a buggy cousin- but thats not cheap either I may price rollers on ebay and see what looks cheapest. Or maybe just look at the Slayer. They are getting cheaper on ebay.
