truck,truggy, or buggy - 02.04.2008, 02:30 AM

which one of these rigs stock are stronger and good brushless basher? Right now i have a e-maxx and i don't think it will hold up to brushless power, but i kinda like the truggy look. i am looking for several models and brands of each kind and a quick description of them. i also have a rustler and a t-maxx but traxxas aren't really all that strong so i think i might just sell my whole rc collection and start off fresh. all i really want is a good fast strong rig that can go alot of places and give anybody a good run for their money:).


I really apreciate any help that you can help me with.
Many thanks.

You should look into a Revo. Its got to be one of the strongest trucks I've ever heard of.

CRT .5: 7075 Ext Chassis, LMT1930/7, FP 25C 3S Lipos, MM

I would get the 8ight out of those two just because you would have to make your own motor mount for it. Arent these trucks the same tho? Just bigger tires right?

To me it just depends on what type of terrain you bash in. If lower CG and flat chassis works for you then go for the truggy or buggy. I would love to have a converted XT8, but as a basher that hits some pretty nasty rutted trails, it just wouldn't work well.

If you need some ground clearance, hit up the MT. My E-LST2 works great for what I want out of a bashing truck...

Would the muggy be a good brushless conversion?

A muggy is basically a LST with a center diff and pan chassis, I would honestly go with the 8ight-T if you want to build a losi. What are you looking to do with it, are you looking to race it or just bash it? Personally I like my MBX5-T over my 8ight-T.

I did a muggy when they first came out. Just homemade a motor mount for it. The muggy drove and handled great. But is was a little heavy. All in all a nice truck.
