Hi all - I am putting together the list of stuff I need for a new truggy as the wife's Christmas present to me :bow:.
I do not have anything currently, so I need a complete setup. I'd appreciate it if someone could look this list over and tell me if I am missing something or making a big mistake with any selections. Alternate suggestions are welcome.

Just something to bash - and outrun the kids' T-Maxx:whip:

Thanks!

Well... if your going to dive in, might as well be head first, on fire with bells on!

That's one heck of a list.

You might want to check the truggy kit. It may require shock oil, diff oil, clutch shoes, clutch bell... stuff like that.
 
Yeah - the wife will choke when she sees it. I don't buy many toys though so...what the heck.

Thanks for the reply - I will make sure I add those items as necessary.
 
Not sure what the dimmensions on that "long receiver pack" is but for the Mugen you need the little square one, it's like 30x51x30. I'd actually suggest since you jumping into lipo's and you're getting the HT Starter box battery to get the HT RX pack and charger. The charger is really good for charging lipo's.
 
Jetmech - thanks for the reply. I've made the suggested changes to the shopping list. Also added the diff o-rings you recommended to another poster.
 
N/P, if you're going all out, go ahead and get the TKO Starter box plate too, takes the guesswork out of aligning the box.
