The Muggy looks really sick. My buddy just picked one up and he's real happy with it. So far it's been handling some pretty decent bashing. If his holds up well, which I'm sure it will. I plan to convert my lst2 into a muggy. 75% of the parts seem to be interchangeable.

well not convert it u need alot of things. Like a new chassis, center diff, shock tower, servo mounts, etc theres a long list off things needed. But yes indeed the muggy and the 8-ight are good vehicles, no doubt about that.

Yeah, It is alot of parts. I guess it would be better to buy it new. At least a few of the parts are interchangeable.

yup, but to bad they dont include a synth controller like the spektrum DX2 that would have been good.

I decided to go with something totally new for me, an electric heli. I picked up a Blade CX from my LHS the other day. It flys very nice but I just have to adjust my trims because its doing some drifting while hovering. Anyway, back to the question....I was also looking at the sportwerks chaos mini buggy. Anyone have one? If so, do you recommend it? The price is kinda steep tho, $269 rtr. I can get a 1/10 buggy for that price. I was looking into the chaos though. And then my mayhem will have a "mini me". also, what else is out there that's worth the money? I saw an inferno car, not sure of the name though. Its a larger scale on road car, either m3, 350z or subaru. Any info on those? Thanks guys

Hey guys. Went to my lhs today and picked up that car I was talking about. Its a kyosho inferno gt, got it with the subaru body. I just ran 2 tanks through it and its running nice. The manual says after 2 or 3 tanks, break in is complete. So does that mean I start leaning it out? Anyone with one of these can help me out? Also, where can I find some hop ups for it? Are 7.5 buggy parts compatable?
