OK, I have a Losi Clutchkiller and am willing to spend around $500 on something like an OFNA Mutilator like Jammin CRT like thing or maybe a kit but I prefer the ease of RTRs. But If I can't find what I'm looking for in Truggies I'm going for a stadium like the Jato.

Actually now I think I want a 1/8 or 1/10 4wd buggy.

Trust me, truggies are more fun. The buggies simply get tossed around too much.

I am currently stuck between the Mugen MBX5T and Cen Matrix Arena TR

What truggies do you have MM and What have you done to your Muggy?

The Muggy has a one-piece mount, GRP grip tires and wheels, as well as a Fioroni clutch with black shoes with a 12t clutch bell on avid bearings. Other than that, I've tried the ST-R, and really like how they handle compared to buggies.

Not my muggy, but that's what it looks like. I don't have any pictures. And I left my camera up in Cali, so once I get it again, I'll try to get pics

I have parts for the Jato such as batteries and chargers, spur gears, a stainless screw kit, clutch bells, bumpers and A-arms so I really want to buy the Jato 3.3. I also like my Muggy and wouldn't mind pouring more money into it, I really need mud guards for my Muggy and that is affecting my decision, the Jato comes with mud guards and they aren't even available for the Muggy as far as I know.

If you know anything about mud guards for the Muggy please tell me! I'd buy them even if they were made of cheese!

Just make some from the sportwerks ones. They will be out in about two weeks, so don't worry

ArcticCat500

You did the solo servo too? I had figured you would've forgotten your camera somewhere.....whatever.

KillerKiwi

awww you people hijacked my thread.

Anyways, they will be releasing mudguards soon

KillerKiwi

Actually the pictures that Maniac posted (not that they're actually his) have helped me decide that I like my Muggy a lot and it is probably best to pour more money into it rather than buy a another RC car, So far I have ordered lots of parts for the clutch but need some tires like the ones Maniac posted. Are those GRP tires much lighter than the stock ones? I like the size of the stock tires but they're too heavy.

Hey Kiwi....have somebody do ya a nice body for it...keep it and have fun...

KillerKiwi

YA, wow that looks cool, I was thinking about buying the crowd pleazer body for the LST2 and butchering it to fit. I need to put lighter tires and wheels on it. The CF kit looks like it might lower the weight and be easier on the clutch, will carbon clutch shoes help?

Yes, the Grip are almost a pound lighter that 4 of the stock tires

KillerKiwi

Will the Grips dig in far enough on loose soil like at a clearing or construction site?

Ohh, bashing. Hmm. I'd say maybe some crimefighter MT's on some Mugen 17mm wheels. But the bowties seem to last forever too. I'd say they'd be okay. If the stockers can hook up on it, then so can the grip

KillerKiwi

The stockers seem fine, they drive on it, I don't know much to compare it to.

Where could I get the 17mm hex things to use GRP wheels?
