Ordering never bothered me too much - especially when I run a truggy that doesn't ever break like the Xray or Mugen

My LHS is huge on Losi which I already have. I like the steering way better on the Mugen and I think it is more durable. There is another hobby shop that is about an hour away and they sell Mugen stuff. My LHS doesn't carry any Mugen or RC8T so that is why I was asking which one since I would have to order parts anyways.

@ tedo, same here. My nearest LHS s**** .. isn't great.

@ Sower, me neither since I hardly even break something (I'm or very lucky, or very skilled (nopes that not it) or I drive like a bitch). Last things I broke was an arm and some pieces of a shock from hitting a friend of mine while going about 40 to 45 mph with my Hyper Mini STe ... his toe didn't like that :P

@ Ellwood BL, than it doesn't really matter. Personally I would choose a Mugen since most guys on here love it.

Maybe this helps :

WOW! I have never seen a truggy check-out on a buggy like that before! In the beginning of the video, you could see the buggy was out accelerating the truggy coming out of the corners, but other than that, the truggy was equal or better in all other aspects!

I am assuming that the buggy was running a high-reving .21 engine, and the truggy was running a high-torque .28 engine, which would explain the buggy being able to accelerate faster (.21 engine getting to higher/max RPM quicker, along with the buggy being lighter), but the torque of the truggy's .28 engine helped it get the heavier mass of the truggy moving quicker during or after any mistakes, allowing it to recover more quickly.

Anyway, that was an awesome video! And at one point, it looked like the truggy actually slowed down and waited on the buggy, so it could beat it again!

Where can I find a M-Spec cheaper than 580USD shipped to Singapore?

Yeps, probably two buddies racing together. He actually waits a couple of times.

As you said, an insane truggy :) I love that movie.

i had a RC8T and copied Maifiled's setup sheet before the CE had come out and it performed AWESOME. but everything i have read about the MBX6T is amazing. in fact, my next build is gonna be a MBX6 buggy. i also had a MBX5T and it was very nice also. there are things i like about Mugen better and based on everything i have read and driven i would go with the Mugen. but, like already suggested, you cant go wrong with either one.
