Didn't say the Mugen was
bad. Just that it's not
all that over, say, an RC8T for ex.. They're all very,
very much in the same league IMO - Mugen, Losi, Asso, X-ray, whatever.. You have lovers and haters of everything, and bringing the lovers back down to earth a bit(i.e. just saying their fave thing is not all that much better than everything else..) does not necessarily = "hating"..
All that said, if I didn't already have Asso parts galore - and also had a decent local track..
- and were to switch brands, I'd go Mugen for the buggy and truggy..
Though I still maintain, I don't like what I've seen so far from Mugen truggy handling... Great for big open tracks maybe.. But not for the stuff I (have no choice but to...) run on...
Nothing as razor-sharp from what I've seen as an RC8T when in the right hands...
