Between the LST2 and Muggy, or REVO, I would go Fanboy with the revo, because I have one.

But if the Revo was not in there, probably the Muggy. It looks cool, and probably would be quick.

The losi 8Truggy holds up well to Bashing.
The only problem i had all day jumping it was. I Landed on the wing and it pulled the screws out of the rear shock tower.
Put some longer screws with nuts and it was back out jumping.

Ask Firesprink. After last weekenk he bought one.

Haha.... you guys love to make this hard on me.

I like the Revo because I had one. It was fairly inexpensive, very raceable, even stock (or with a few modifications), and was very durable. I bashed the crap out of it and only had a problem when it was under 15 degrees out. Haha The thing that is making me hesitant is the motor. I have heard of a lot of problems with the 3.3 and I would really like the reliability and nice idle of a BB motor. The TRX motors pack a lot of power for their size and price, but always seemmed to be a bit finicky and run quite hot.

I REALLY like the look of the LST2. I saw a couple at the track and they seemed to have TONS of power. They were quite durable and handled alright from what I remember. I have also seen and heard how well they bash. Plus, its something different that I haven't had already.

I like the 8T because it is both durable for bashing and extremely race capable. The downside is price. I believe to get it built up it would be quite a bit more expensive than the others. Is this correct? Is it kit only or do they have a RTR? How is the quality difference?

Muggy.... I know nothing about it. I just figured since it looked vaguely like an LST that maybe it would bash well but handle a little bit better. Not a racer, but a different flavor basher.

I know that I want to stay monster truck or truggy. I know that buggies are durable but I never feel the power or control through rough grass or really anywhere but gravel or a track. So..... given that any more insight??

Id give the nod for the RTR 8T. Then you wont need to sell again when you get that itch to race once. I think it even comes with spektrum. Ask Joe Now!!!

Hahahaha!!! I always broke more stuff at the track than bashing. The savages are definitely a basher but I am not a fan of how everything is sandwiched between the 2 plates. I know it makes for a strong chassis design, but I'm not a fan for some reason. I have a couple tickets in Joe's next raffle so if I lose that I will start looking to buy. Right now the 8T does look nice since there is the RTR that I didn't know about. I loved racing truggy and they are plenty durable for bashing. I have no problem going with the LST either since I am not above racing MT class. Haha

Honestly it will probably end up about 50-50 racing and bashing. Maybe 60 bashing and 40 racing but pretty close to even.... That is why I am leaning Revo again but the LST2 also looked alright on the track the few times I have seen them.
