What should I get?? - J-Dub - 10-19-2007
Between the LST2 and Muggy, or REVO, I would go Fanboy with the revo, because I have one.
But if the Revo was not in there, probably the Muggy. It looks cool, and probably would be quick.

The losi 8Truggy holds up well to Bashing.
The only problem i had all day jumping it was. I Landed on the wing and it pulled the screws out of the rear shock tower.
Put some longer screws with nuts and it was back out jumping.
Ask Firesprink. After last weekenk he bought one.

Revo
What should I get?? - FreeRideFrosty - 10-19-2007
Haha.... you guys love to make this hard on me.
I like the Revo because I had one. It was fairly inexpensive, very raceable, even stock (or with a few modifications), and was very durable. I bashed the crap out of it and only had a problem when it was under 15 degrees out. Haha The thing that is making me hesitant is the motor. I have heard of a lot of problems with the 3.3 and I would really like the reliability and nice idle of a BB motor. The TRX motors pack a lot of power for their size and price, but always seemmed to be a bit finicky and run quite hot.
I REALLY like the look of the LST2. I saw a couple at the track and they seemed to have TONS of power. They were quite durable and handled alright from what I remember. I have also seen and heard how well they bash. Plus, its something different that I haven't had already.
I like the 8T because it is both durable for bashing and extremely race capable. The downside is price. I believe to get it built up it would be quite a bit more expensive than the others. Is this correct? Is it kit only or do they have a RTR? How is the quality difference?
Muggy.... I know nothing about it. I just figured since it looked vaguely like an LST that maybe it would bash well but handle a little bit better. Not a racer, but a different flavor basher.
I know that I want to stay monster truck or truggy. I know that buggies are durable but I never feel the power or control through rough grass or really anywhere but gravel or a track. So..... given that any more insight??

Id give the nod for the RTR 8T. Then you wont need to sell again when you get that itch to race once.
I think it even comes with spektrum. Ask Joe Now!!!

arent they using good radio gear in RTRs now or is that AE?

If you never intend to race it, I vote for the Savage. Mine only breaks when I drive it an the track LOL!

Hahahaha!!! I always broke more stuff at the track than bashing. The savages are definitely a basher but I am not a fan of how everything is sandwiched between the 2 plates. I know it makes for a strong chassis design, but I'm not a fan for some reason. I have a couple tickets in Joe's next raffle so if I lose that I will start looking to buy. Right now the 8T does look nice since there is the RTR that I didn't know about. I loved racing truggy and they are plenty durable for bashing. I have no problem going with the LST either since I am not above racing MT class. Haha

Lol just get a revo and get it over with.
What should I get?? - AddictedtoNITRO - 11-10-2007
hey, if you like too bash more....bubba had one of those mutilators and man did it take a beating lol. He put that thing through hell and back and it begged for more! I also am a fan of the muggy but I've heard reliability issues with them. But they look sweet!
What should I get?? - FreeRideFrosty - 11-10-2007
Honestly it will probably end up about 50-50 racing and bashing. Maybe 60 bashing and 40 racing but pretty close to even.... That is why I am leaning Revo again but the LST2 also looked alright on the track the few times I have seen them.

how bout gettin a yob?
What should I get?? - Green Hornet - 11-10-2007
hpi baja!!!..youll never want anything else.
What should I get?? - FreeRideFrosty - 11-10-2007
I've got a yob foo. (And will probably work for UPS during the holidays for some extra cash. They pay quite well.)
As for the Baja.... I really considered it. The downside is no race class. I love to bash but do not want to have one truck and have it be solely for bashing. If I were to have 2 trucks, one for racing and one for bashing, the Baja would be near the top of the list.
What should I get?? - J-Dub - 11-11-2007
You know if I could afford the Grand. I love a Baja
seeing as how fuel is only 3.00 a gallon, instead of 30.
But...Ehhh...I just don't see it happening.
What should I get?? - Green Hornet - 11-11-2007
this is what i though if it when i bought my baja, which i got used for 700.00....
new losi 8, radio, engine, nitro, handfull of glow plugs, and some misc parts, could of bought a baja!
look around, you can get a good used one for a good deal. i got mine off e-bay.
What should I get?? - J-Dub - 11-11-2007
I dont really have extra cash lying around like I used to.
Now I got Car Payment, Tool Payments, Higher Gas Prices. Insurance...etc...etc.
Yeah so my spare change a week is like 25 bucks.
What should I get?? - Czech-it-Out Graphics - 11-11-2007
