Dont know alot about mogs, but the one i got to see in action was long tray back one, in camo. sitting on at least 42s or somthing.
It did quiet well in mudrats revenge, the course was straight, and open, but no better than any other of the rigs really..

Alot of the courses were tight, offcamber, and very rocky, the mog kept lifting wheels, and struggled to make the turns in the tight course (rear steer helped alot)

Just didnt seem to suit the style of track that tuff trucks set up for.
Will be interesting to see how it places..

mud guts won the show and shine by the way..

as for the mog, the reason they are only good in straight lines is because they have the turning circle of a semi trailer, on the all terrain track they had to remove most of the bunting and reverse 500 times to get around, too tight for the mogs.. but they are cool to watch..

Yes very happy winning the show shine and engineering award.
We had a rear drive shaft binding up and spiting uni bolts then we smashed the yoke on the transfer case, once we had a another yoke in and numerous uni joints and limiting some down travel we ran Sunday with no breaks. Had some engine cooling probs, in the mud run we ran an engine temp of a 140 deg and some other stages not so bad

Many thanks to Overkill Engineering, sams ability to construct a truck to perform out of the box as it did with no testing is unreal, we have some small issues and repairs to fix and its only going to get better

Just need to learn how to drive it


Also thanks to Wooders Garage, David saved the day by getting us the necessary parts to carry on, huge help!!
