Which truggy for bashing? - 03.02.2009, 12:59 PM

Hello everyone, I've been lurking here for a while now and I really love all the information on this forum.

I've been bashing my MGT for a while now (as a nitro vehicle) and decided that I'm going to sell a bunch of stuff and finally build something big and brushless. I've had a bunch of 1/18 brushless vehicles that I love and I'm just tired of dealing with nitro.

From the research I've done so far it looks like truggys make for great BL conversions mostly due to the center diff layout that allows for a pretty straightforward conversion. There's nowhere that I know of to race around where I live so I've always just been a basher so bashing will be the only purpose of the vehicle I intend to build.

Two vehicles have caught my interest so far: The Losi Muggy and the Ofna CRT. I haven't found as much info on the CRT as I'd like so far but it looks promising.

Muggy
Pros:
-strong diffs
-tons of parts available since most come from the LST series vehicles, RPM arms etc.
-big size and suspension would be good for jumps

Cons:
-I owned a mini-lst so I kinda hate Losi
-Really heavy. Which hurts handling and also means I'm going to put more stress on my electronics.
-I've heard the chassis is weak. So I'd need the hard chassis upgrade.

CRT
Pros:
-lighter than the Muggy
-I hear it's bomb proof
Cons:
-?

TLDR: Basically I'm looking for a 1/8 size basher. I'm not set on these two choices. In fact, I seem to change my mind daily so I'm really open to suggestion here.

Thanks guys.
