hey guys what do you think about the losi muggy .. is it reliable and hard to break??? i htink i like it over the cen matrix tr arena

We ave a guy that comes bashing with us, and he has a Muggy, he said hed NEVER buy one again just for bashing, Its more of a racers Car, If you wanna go wit something from Losi, go for the LST2, or Aftershock.
Or just go the Cen, as u stated

joelnazab

well im not gona race lol its just for driving around but the matrix everyone says the servos and pullstart suck and i dont have the money to get other servos and stuff

PENGUINBLASTER!!!

I have the Muggy, it's my only RC car and I just bash with it and rarely race, it's way better than the Matrix as far as I know.

Foxy

Joel, I told you man, almost all RTR servos and radios suck, there's nothing you can do about it. You just have to buy an RTR, live with the poor electronics at the start and get a better radio set later.

joelnazab

wich one do you think would be better out of the two... the muggy comes with a reciver batt pack and the roto start thingy... i kno the servos are cheap but which one has better one the muggys controll has a lil screen on it

joelnazab

on the forums they say the muggy uses alot of shoeclouch up or something like that

Foxy

Sounds like the muggy is one of the rare ones that has a good radio. Unfortunately, losi is very poorly supported in europe, I only know one person with a losi car, but I understand they are very good.

joelnazab

i htink the one that comes with the matrix has a screen on the control too

Foxy

There are two important adjustments a radio should have. Dual rate steering, and End point adjustment. If they have those, it's at least an acceptable radio. Some RTRs even come with DSM, which is nice, no frequency problems.

joelnazab

oh ill look out for does things hey am i supposed to put a failsafe on any car i buy? also is a temp gun necessary

joelnazab

the muggy has a computer-based JR® XR2i radio system thats what is says

joelnazab

the matrix says it has 144oz high torque servos i dont know what that mean but i cant find anything on the control

Foxy

That's a good radio set, good transmitter, good servos. In both cars. People say those servos suck? That's surprising, good torque. 144oz-in is a direct reference to how strong the servo is, stronger the better, but 150 is usually ok as a start, 200 or more is preferable though

joelnazab

but isnt the muggy a monster truck... what does it mean by Dual metal-geared Z590 steering servos

Foxy

Not sure, wait for an owner to answer this quetion for you. Dual steering servos simply means it uses two servos for steering.

joelnazab

oooh kinda like the revo that says it has 2 mini steering servos right

i have a Muggy and i currently only use it for bashing. I beat the crap out of it and (knock on wood) have yet to break anything. It comes with a JR radio which is pretty decent, the radio also has an LCD screen, which is what everyone here seems to be confused about. Most upgrades for an LST2 can be used on a Muggy, take a look at my pics on my profile and it will give you a good idea on what you can do to a Muggy....
