The mugen pro spec is in a different league of durability. There is nothing that you would need to hop up on it, its parts are already made from the best materials.

Let's look at this,

HPI Hellfire: Kids 1/10th scale .18 powered toy sold in Halfords and other ropey hobby shops that need to sell trash to keep their profits up.

Mugen MBX5T Prospec: Top of the line 1/8th scale .21+ powered brick that will probably mean you forget thename of the dude behind the counter at your LHS.

I think it was an analogy...not literal...
Like he could of said that the Hellfire is like a mazda miata compared with a hummer...or something like that [&:]

Alltho I doubt weather the Hellfire is quite THAT bad...

Sorry, I was talking to a mte on MSN about his MT2 at the time and wrote the wrong thing down here. [link=http://www.hpieurope.com/kit-info.php?partNo=10501&lang=en]The correct comparison.[/link]

Still like comparing Ferrari to Skoda though.

Start it low and see what it goes up to. It's a popular truck, you should sell it fast and get reasonable money for it. I agree too, there is absolutely no comparison, the Mugen is vastly superior in every way.
