i can get shots of mine tonight. all you need is a roller, mike's motor mount, and mike's battery tray. and motor, esc, and servo of course. super easy, and looks like it came that way out of the box. no need to custom make anything - just put it all together.

ClodMaxx i would love to see pics of it. and thanks for the advice, ill steer clear.

Tedo i think a 6t would be great but for being my first truggy i think that a 5t will amaze me compared to how my savages handle. plus brushless power in a smaller package should be fun.

Desert Rc that losi is a sweet package. the price is just a little high for me (although i looked around and your price is definitely fair, dont get me wrong) but for an entry trug im looking for a budget mobile kinda. spend the money where i have to and hopefully pick up a good platform for cheap

We have no hobbyshops in Vermont. I order all my Mugen stuff off of Amain. Never had a problem with getting parts, and priority USPS I get it in 3 days.

Ya but how often do you break an xray or mugen?? Im not a teenager anymore and I kinda like anticipating a package from Amain...which usually shows in 2 days.

not very often. its usually a screw or nut that comes loose. it rare to see plastic break on this truck

well guys an update, i pulled the trigger on a truggy. i bought an associated RC8T

im sure ill have questions along the way but hopefully all goes well. ill keep you guys posted.

looks good! congrats. if you're accustomed to only monster trucks, this is going to be a very pleasant surprise.... ungodly speed and handling. i know i don't run my emaxx much anymore...

ya im nervous. after i went brushless on my savage the nitro dont get used so now with bl and handling i can only imagine. for sale.

very nice. the xray does see to be a quality name every where i look and that build shows it. unfortunately i think there temporarily out of my price range. if i get serious about these truggies then bad things will happen (financially) but for now this is a feeler out build.

The more you hang out here...the poorer you will be for sure
