I've put quite a bit of use on my Losi Muggy now, and comparing it against Traxxas I would still take the Losi any day. I would love to see a Revo suspension on a Muggy though--I've broken 2 pairs of stock control arms, sheared the camber rod out of a RPM arm, and broken a stock front spindle on the Muggy. The T-Maxx is out-dated and has a lot of issues and should be discontinued, but the Revo mostly just needs a tougher drivetrain. If Traxxas put in diffs of comparable design and quality of 1/8th scale diffs with 8mm axles, and CVAs the Revo would be much better than it is.

Approximately one hour on my E-Revo and I busted up all kinds of parts, but after ~6 hours total on my Muggy I'm really glad I sold almost all my Traxxas RCs. The control arms broke on bad landings at a BMX track (I jumped it pretty hard and it took it until the bad landings broke control arms) and the spindle broke after ramming into a concrete island in a parking lot. I give Losi a 9/10 overall for it, if it came with aluminum spindles and blocks stock and tougher control arms it would be a definite 10/10. Revo/E-Revo I give 7/10 for inferior drivetrain construction.
