The mugen's don't, and neither does the Jammin unless you buy the rtr

Dont buy Mugen. All i hear about is steering issues.

whats wrong with the steering

Too much steering is all people complain about.

SOOJIAN

No, lots of pushing. Turns like crap. Just like the buggy version. I know a kid who works at a hobby shop who can't get the thing to turn right at all. And belive me he knows his stuff.

And believe me, the entire MBX5T crew on truggy racers know what they are doing, and they don't have that problem. And it's all about setup.

SOOJIAN

Well that's what i heard & seen. You are probaly right, it's his setup, but thats not the only person i have heard that from. I have never driven one so this is just my visual opinion. Im not trying to bash it, its a good truck, i just love my CRT and have had no issues at all with it. I would recommend the CRT not the Mugen. My opinion. Sorry.

People are spending 100's on there CRT's to get it to have what a mugen comes with stock, a small spur gear.

The Mugen has a big spur dosen't it.

And I recomend the Mugen for sure. The CRT can't compare anymore.

mugen comes with a 46 tooth spur

SOOJIAN

JAMMIN!!!

any reason why someone would want to buy something that not only has a weight and design disadvantage, but also is made of plastics and metals that wear out faster?

I sure hope you're not talking about the Mugen, because I don't think that a light truggy is a disadvantage

Check out RCCar Action's recent issue...particularly the winners stand of the expert truggy class races at Mossier City, LA. What's that truck he was driving? A mugen mbx5t.

And by how many did he win over the other types of truggies?

Mugen is supperior cause of its quality and how light it is. Believe it or not, Kyosho is right up there with Mugen if not better, the only problem with the STR, it takes more money to get it on par if not better than the rest out there. whats GREAT about the STR is the fact that you can change its center spur gear out for anything inbetween a 46T-52T covering any track setting. thats one thing i WISH the Mugen had, was that option. its allot easier to just change out your center diff than messin with clutches and pipes and it reduces stress off of your engine as well.

even with the Mugen out and the new Losi 8T i am still convinced the STR fully loaded is the best kit out there. after you break in your diffs and shim accordingly, buy the extended chasis its DIALED!

its light, easy to dial in, lots of options, and yes its durable. the only downfall, it isnt bad ass out of the box, its capable and race ready yes, but you have to put in some money to get it ontop. with the mugen, its as loaded as it can get out of the box, but there are some things i wish can get changed and from the looks of things, it wont happen.

What do you mean you can't change the spur gear for the Mugen? I see you cannot go to a larger spur gear, but you can certainly install a smaller one. And as for changing gear ratio, changing the clutch bell makes a bigger difference than changing the spur gear. But that means the STR can do both.

But as you said, the STR needs some stuff to be totally dialed, and the Mugen doesn't.

I guess it's a matter of whether or not you want to spend the extra money to get the STR totally dialed.

Haha, wow. People saying the Mugen can't turn?? If anything, the Mugen has quite a bit of aggressive steering.
