Muggy and 8T
 
Hi, i know absolutly NOTHING about nitro, just wondering, whats the differences between the Losi Muggy and the 8T?

K_B 03-06-2009 03:01 PM

The look similar but are very different. The 8T is a purpose-built race truggy. The Muggy blurs the line between a truggy and a monster truck and is geared more towards the basher with huge 40 series tires and a beefed up chassis which also makes it a heavy pig.

If you're gonna be racing, you want a truggy like the 8T. If you're gonna be horsing around in the backyard, you probably still want an 8T :) But the Muggy offers better ground clearance which is ideal for bashing in gravel pits and contruction yards and such.

Haha, seems like a one sided opinion there =P

But cool, thanks :)

I totally agree with K B on this. The Muggy is a good goofing off truck. The 8t is a racers truck. Both have unique qualities that make them good for each purpose. Kind of like compairing a honda civic to a ford 450 superduty pickup. Both fine vehicles and will get you down the road but not built for the same purpose.

Not going to be doing anything, just stumbled across them online and was wondering what the differences were :)

the reason for the "one sided opinion" is the 8ight-T will out perform the Muggy in 99% of all circumstances. The T costs more. That's about it. So if money is your big influencing factor, fine. If performance, durability, satisfaction, etc.. is your deciding factor the T will be the choice.

Here's where all info of both trucks can be found quite easily.

I'm not calling anyone out here, just providing info for the thread.
