i recently picked up a used muggy that was totally stock. so far it has ate up a set of clutch bell bearings and tore up the stock alum clutch i believe the bearing failure could have been contributed to all the extra shims i found causing the clutch bell to have no play in it all ,but from what i have read they need upgrades outta the box to be reliable.For handling and power etc its been a great truck I'm just waiting on the new 12t vented clutch bell,dynamite clutch shoes and bearings hoping that will solve some of the problems.i've heard they have a weak chassis as well which will bend like a banana over time with alot of heavy runnin and jumps i will see for myself after i get it runnin again .if u have ne other specific questions ask and i will do my best to answer . i already asked this same question and diddin get much response apparently there arent many muggy owners here except for scrogg( he recently sold his) he may be able to help
i've looked and and i havent found ne aftermarket skid plates etc but if u check out neweramodels they have a tonne of alum parts also check losi's site for upgrades i ordered a one pc alum motor mount instead of the standard 2 pc when i ordered the other new parts and I'm thinking of picking up an alum steering set and bearings to tighten the front end up a bit I'm kinda new to this and just learning as i go.
o tell me how they work after u test them cause my friend and i were thinking about just building so we might just by the upgrades right away if theire worth the money
