Well you know an update is imminemt at some point, but even on the losi forums, i haven't heard any word or confirmation of a 3.0 buggy or truggy. If anything does come out it won't be until next spring is my guess. I have no idea about mugen but i'm guessing its the same situation.

Yes new mugen soon to come MBX6r and for losi there is the 2.0EU and im sure soon there will be a new losi buggy/truggy aswell. Im interested to see what is brought to the table because after seeing serpent, durango,agma they are all so diffrent from original buggys as setup and look goes.

Well if you google "8ight 3.0", you'll come up with very little. So if they do have something in the works then they are keeping a tight lid on it. From what adam drake has said i don't think you'll see losi coming out with a new buggy or truggy anytime soon, i'm guessing next year there will not be an update. The EU spec 2.0 is just a buggy made for european tracks as they don't have nearly the size of jumps we do in north america. It handles alittle better but it doesn't soak up large jumps as well. From the sounds of it Losi is standing pat, at least for now. Personally i don't see what more they can do to create a better buggy or truggy.
I think those who come out with new versions every year or so are doing more harm than good. People get tired of useless minor updates that make their current setup seem older than it really is. I know i'd be annoyed to update my setup every year a new spec came out. Seemingly losi tends to go all in when making a model unlike some of these other guys who make a few tweaks and slap a 2010 or 2011 spec on the end.

If history means anything then losi will release their new car/update (3.0) after worlds.. you'll see only a few manufacturers release cars at random.. most release the cars biannually (roughly) and usually on during a worlds year or soon after the event. (Kyosho, Agama, Serpent, Durango, Intech, JQP, O'Donnell, and Xray has already shown pics of their 2011spec even though they update yearly
) and I guess like it was posted above mugen has a new one coming too
