PLEASE HELP ME!! (pick out setup)

[TexasSP]

I would also think a bigger motor for this setup would be optimum. The muggy is heavy and big. Personally I would gear it for 45 and be happy. That is alot of speed for a truck that size for general use. Plus trying to gear it for street runs of 55 then offroading with the same gearing is asking a bit much from any ESC. How many nitro muggies with less than a perfect tune on a top of the line engine can maintain 45+ on and off road?

I like the double servo mount on the IGT. I wonder when Mike will offer that for sale? Maybe make a package with it and the kyosho mount together?

People like to throw numbers out, like 55mph, but usually they have no idea how fast 55mph is for an r/c car. Hell, at 40mph they are outta sight in a few seconds. My friend swore up and down his rustler was hitting 70mph, and when we gps'ed it his fastest run was 44mph.

Gearing a muggy for 55 seems to be the reason you killed so many MMMs, not the MMM.

I believe to get everything you want you'll need to go HV like 12s, or run 2 tekin systems. You just want too much.

I have both of my truggies geared for 34-36mph and one actaully has gone 46mph and it is spot on when I added a 1" ballooning (5.65" truggy tires) in Brian's calculator. If you gear your Muggy for 55mph without adding tire balloning, it will be going a lot faster.

Yes, above 35mph or so tire ballooning does start to affect speeds in a big way.
