The HB will break more? And you know this how? BTW, the Uni front driveshaft replacement is the same price as the stock shaft. Since a Uni is always better than a CVD, it's a no brainer (even for a Mugen). And the $200 saved with the HB kit will buy a lot of CNC that the Mugen doesn't have. In the end, the average driver will still be average, no matter what brand they drive. Have fun, burn nitro.
You bet the D8's break more, they also wear out alot faster... We ran a D8 side by side with a MBX6 this season and its very definite the D8 breaks more and wears faster...Now the D8 is still a dam good machine it performs every bit as good as the Mugen does....... Just for the extra dollar you do get a more solid machine with the Mugen......to some the extra durability may be worth the extra $$ to some it may not be.....
