the one thing that stood out to me are the beefy a arms. i know they need to be strong but those are basically solid. which is a goodd thing since they are unlikely to break.

The 'Muggy' will be ideal for those who currently run LST's, Savages, TNX's, MGT's, Revos etc

The Muggy will be lots more forgiving than a truggy


Truggys are more forgiving than the buggys but still require more skill to drive and are more set-up sensitive than its MT counterparts.

The 'Muggy' will be a set it and forget it setup...irregardless of what track...unlike a truggy which must be set-up for each track.


funny thing is....the 'muggy' is classifies as Unlimited MT, therefore technically it must run with the truggies...

probably a good choice for the 'sport' racer who needs a bulletproof ride that makes it through ALL the mains.....

what the 'muggy' will lack in overall quickness v.s a 'truggy'....it will more than make up for it with its forgiveness and ability to handle track terrain with ease.



all that being said.....the Losi 8 Truggy looks crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


i want one

on neo-buggy it states the chassis is basically the same size as other truggies, and that it just looks longer becasue is so skinny
