Whats wrong with my Raze ST Truggy??

[Raze ST Truggy]

I just posted this in the Truggy forum, but I thought since I was just looking for a general discussion on this topic that I would put it here too. If this is a problem Mods please delete one of the threads. I thought that this area might get a little more traffic is another reason I put it here too.

Other than it being nitro of course.

But really nobody seems to use this truggy for anything (bashing or racing) I am gearing up to do an electric conversion on a truggy and am thinking about getting another Raze ST and converting it.

I am only a basher, but we do run at a local BMX track and it seems to handle well. The servo's did suck from day one, but I'll put a good steering servo and the throtle/ break one will be deleted.

I've had the diff's apart to put lube in them and everything looked good metal parts, no out of place wear, ext... The chassis does flex but with the aluminum chassis braces I think that should be fixed.

Are there other issues that I'm not seeing. I've heard/ read all the duratrash comments, but as far as durability the servo's have been the only problems so far.

Any comments are wellcome. Thanks

I am also open to any sugestions as to other truggy's to convert. I've been eyeing up the Losi Muggy, becasuse I think that it will be awsome with the added ground clearence. But at almost twice the price I'm having a tought time selling myslef on the Muggy over the Raze ST.

Thanks for the quick reply. That problem I am aware of and will be fixing soon. Anything else I should be aware of?

No problem with it, it is just a lower end truck, and some people don't like them.

Again, thanks for the quick reply. That is what I'm after the reason that some people just don't like them. Is it previous experiences with duratrax, or this particulat line of buggy/ truggy?

Probably previous experience. Ive owned 2 evaders and something else, and have been *sort of* satisfied. They were decent vehicles, but much weaker than the rustler.
