I want a truggy

[jetmechG550]

Now the question is, should I drop my Picco .28 in it? LOL

I've seen that. Try it out!

You think the revo drivetrain can handle that?

 

[jetmechG550]

The difs...no. The truck was almost uncontrollable.

 

[AC48]

haha, yea I kinda want a controllable truck with working diffs.

Just run the 3.3 till you can't run it anymore.

BTW, thought you wanted a kit? Whataya gonna do take it apart and put it back together? I could disassembled the MSR and threw all the pieces in a big box with no directions for ya!

 

[AC48]

Yea I did want to build a kit, but it just didn't make sence given my situation. Just wanted something to have fun beating teh poop out of that would handle a bit better than a Savage.

Anyone want a Picco .28? LOL (I wasn't seriously thinking of puttin it in the revo)

I been looking at the truggy class too, but know very little about the differences between them. Now with the new: Mugen MBX5T Prospec that just came out, is the Jammin Pro kit still the best way to go above all other brands? (excluding the 8ight-T... I don't want to wait)

In order of importance to me:

* A competitive truggy, with easy tunability, durability, and great handling.
* Holds up well to hard racing.
* Availability of parts.
* Inovative design and newer technology that might offer a slight advantage.

I'd like to hear from some truggy racers whats kickin azz at their track?

Most of the guys I run with are switching from either the Kyosho ST-R or the Jammin Pro to the Mugen MBX5T. One of the guys was running some tune up laps the other day and he was alot faster with the Mugen than his Jammin. I'm thinking of going to the new Mugen or getting the BCE Pro J2 chassis for the CRT. The CRT is very durable and parts are easy to come by, at least around here. I tend to order most stuff though, it's easier for me so availability isn't so much of an issue for me. One thing with Jammin I hate is when you need a small part like a rod end, you end up having to buy a whole tree of parts that you won't ever use. The Jammin also seems to loosen up somewhat to the point that even if your tightening it up, there's a little slop. The Kyosho's I've seen all have issues with the gearing and having to shim them up. At the ROAR Nats Kyosho engineers were there tearing the difs out after every run. Some I know have gone to the Hot Bodies gears. Other than that it's a great truck as well. The HB LSP is dated and FME, I hated the thing. Something broke on it everytime I ran mine. It didn't last long with me. Stay away from the Hellfire, it's an even bigger POS. Some say the Jammin is dated now, I don't feel it is. Remember this, the truck isn't the whole deal, it's driver too, and what might be an awesome truck to one guy may not fit the driving style of another.

One other thing I forgot to add, with the Mugen, you don't neccesarily need the Prospec. The standard kit is good and then just get the Prospec engine mount and shock towers
