muggy build-up from scratch? - RC-Monster Forums

i will do a muggy,
what is my best option?
i want to change alot of the stock truck to hop-ups.
i can only get the muggy completly rtr, dont know who i could sell the nitro stuff to and electronics i dont need.
i would basicly only need the frame and drivetrain. all tuned up.
if i bought the rtr i'd ditch the A-arms, most of the shocks, chassis, nitro equipement,...

what to do?
i could get an empty lst2 tough?!?

buy an RTR lst2, it has got beefy shocks over the mugge (aluminum vs plastic) the RTR comes with a sexy remote/servo's.. no need to upgrade.

The drivetrain is fair good as well. aluminum where it's needed (diffhousings) sexy dishwheels..

building up a truck from scratch takes ages..

Well, you could "get rid" of all the Nitro-specific stuff on eBay. You'd be taking somewhat of a loss, but at least helps to recoup some of the funds...

i'm kinda liking the fact that i can easily get an "empty" lst2,
i would upgrade electronics anyway, even if they are decent.
just, i'm sick of medium grade electronics.
i'ma get me a nice radio first tough.
what about the tranny?
install FOC and keep 2 speed? and mech brakes?
or try to shoehorn in a diff? or even better slipper-diff?
thank, mike.

I would go Muggy....

i was thinking about a center diff in an lst2 yesterday,
that's what serum and my lhs sugested, but it seems darn difficult for a beginning drawer and builder.:013:
so i'll go with my first choice, the muggy.:004:
i dont mind that it is a little lower spec then the lst2.
one can always tune it a bit.:028:
but as it is rtr, it will come with a jr xr2i i think, would that radio even work with BL? as it is AM modulation i think.:032:
