Supertib,

I would go ahead and buy one and try it out. If you do not like it, sell it on ebay. They are new trucks, so people will always look for good deal on the bay. I will not say it is better or worse than Mugen or any other brand. It really depends on the driver. I really loved my TTR ST-1, but I wanted something with better steering and also I like to try different brands. The one thing I can say about the Hyper is that is rock solid as far as durability. It comes with a gang of CNC and carbon fiber parts. Go for it!!!
