I am still heavily researching cause I am totally new to 1-8th buggies and want to make a good purchase. I am not deciding on performance I want a buggy with relatively good initial cost- to- out of box performance and durability and parts prices/availability is huge.

I have had the same rc10GT for 8 years but it has gone through phases and is now a FT.
But I have noticed that Kyosho mp-5s and mp-6's are prob obsolete cause the 7.5 and now 777 are out and the parts aren't interchangeable.
Same problem with the Mugen, I bet the x4 parts are hard to come by.

Given the track records of Kyosho and Mugen in this class, which buggy - the 777 or MBX-5 - will likely be replaced and become obsolete the soonest?
I plan on rockin the same chassis for at least 3 years...I can't keep droppin a grand every 2 years!
