is the muggy considered an truggy?

ericem

Yes of course! It is a flat chassis and does have 3 diffs. Don't see why it would not be.

snoking16

its more of a truggy then a MT

spikeman

Definetly a truggy.

unluckylonestar

a very overweight truggy

Coopz

A truggy that has no chance in the truggy class...

qaiz

A Monster Truggy.

HerrSavage

See you at the skatepark..

HerrSavage

The better for running over the other trugs....

qaiz

Then you can add my Nitrage to that list too

Ive put those weight thingies on it, and its naturally kinda heavy.

And no one knows what class you run it in.

Its considered a truggy.. but isn't a truggy.. its not a monster truck... its a MUGGY!

Its funny cause they are running the Muggy in our Monster Truck class.. now the muggy will slay the monster truck class.. sorrry revo owners, but they only guy driving the muggy sucks but once he starts smoking the monster trucks they will put him in the truggy class.. but id guess he wouldn't keep up.. I think the muggy is underestimated alot

qaiz

And so is the Nitrage.

2DMaxLST!!

Anyone running a race program that allows the Muggy to run in SMT class is incompetent and the people driving them are cheating.

It you can not setup a Muggy to be competitive in truggy class then you would waste your money buying anything better till you can.

All IMO based on my direct experience.

slayerphonics

your right, my friends and I where saying the same thing

j_blaze

didn't the muggy come out like 4 years ago?

JB COMP

nope, I think it came out 2years ago, I think a year after the LST2. RCU just reviewed it in 2007 so it probably came out in 2006

2DMaxLST!!

I got mine right when it came out in October06, a little over a year ago.

JB COMP

I nailed that one, well not really

but I was close

revoskid32

My Feedback: (69)

I run my Muggy in the monster truck class. the truggy guys whined about me in that class!! i ended up winning the seasonial class in first place for points!! i was up against nothing but revos!!!!
the muggy is way to heavy for the truggy class. it fits best in the M\T class. thats where i am stayin!!!!

madmax22

Y were they whining about you in the truggy class????? wouldn't you not be at an advantage????[sm=50_50.gif]

INTEGRA

more like a roadblock id say....Id sure complain if a 5tonne brick was always in my way on the straite or in the technicals.

HerrSavage

Maybe he was running over too many of them, or too big to get around? Ha ha... My Muggy is pretty huge compared to the 8T I once saw up close.. The 8T looked to me more like 1/10 scale or something.. Definitely not fair though to let the Muggy run against MT's.. No wonder you won...

INTEGRA

its all the big goofy 40's......race tires make a truck look on the smaller side....try putting Maxx sized tires on a LST2....soo dosent look right.[&o]

HerrSavage

Never had the 40's on my Muggy (bought it used as a roller..) - just Zombies.. Even with Dirt Bonz it looks big compared to most truggies..

You're right about smaller tires looking weird on an LST2.

Still, back in October from reading around I wanted an 8T, but when I saw one in a LHS back in the States, my first impression was "SO much money for something so small??" I still think the 8T is the best looking truggy out, so I'm not knocking it. And it's clear it works for racing.. But next to a Muggy, even with MT tires, it really does look small. My Hyper ST Pro doesn't make that impression at all, and it's still smaller than my Muggy.. Maybe later I'll take a pic of both side by side.. But here's the Muggy for now. It's clearly the LST2's lower-slung but not smaller brother.. (and I don't care what anybody else thinks on this - IMHO the Muggy, stock, is one of the best looking trucks around...)









Also, for what it's worth, I ran it on a track once with a bunch of buggies, and was getting around pretty well(considering it was my first time EVER on a track, and these guys I think were regulars..) Some of the faster buggies(these guys weren't pros obviously..) had a hard time getting around me in the corners, and I just up and ran over a few of them giving WOT in the straights a couple times(LRP .. ) It was a big open track and in the straights I could pass everything that was there with the LRP. I think I would've done even better without these stupid 15 degree carriers, which give me the turning radius of an oil tanker... I'm hardly a racer - not by a long-shot - was just messing around, there was only one buggy who was clearly faster. But it was fun trying to keep up with him.. The Muggy, with offset rims, is a wide load on a track...

But still, the Muggy is NOT a race truck, and I get sick of hearing it criticized on those grounds.. I was just "fun racing" messing around on a track..(though the other guys were pretty serious and made everybody strap on a transponder...) I'm only a basher, and I think that's one of the cool things about the Muggy. It's a basher first and foremost, and should be compared to Savages, MGT's and LST2's, not 8T's, Mugens, X-rays, etc... Because of its layout though it's a truggy, and so gets discussed in truggy forums, which are comprised mostly of racers... So it gets slammed by racers, which IMO is often unfair.., because most people know the Muggy is not competitive for racing. But it's not supposed to be!!!.... So anyway, you can take the Muggy to the skatepark and go for it - the Muggy is TOUGH, or, now and then when you want to run around a track and fun race with bashing friends or whatever, well, it's not bad for a basher at that either.... In fact, in that category of Savages and co, it'll get around the track best..

Bashers are people too!! Even in truggy forums......
