How in the world could they release this kit like this? Did they do zero testing?

Thanks for the pics! Wow....makes a big difference! .....I'm not really positive on why they are bending but the pics gives a clear indication on the possible reasons...other than that, arms flexing? Quite possible tho on the up travel.
otherwise the truggy handles awesome and rotates quite nicely

very well could be flexing arms. but we can only speculate on whats going on.. all we know is a few have bent a few parts or broke an arm. I think the truggy is great and so far so good now broken parts or bent things. had a set screw come loose on the center drive shafts but that's builder error. I agree with most the truggy is great. does everything you want it to do and more.. im sure if kyosho sees a trend they will make running changes or suggestions on what parts to use.

the serpent is ok but once I drove the mp10t it was like driving a daily driver to work to a muscle car. night and day difference. yes I get the serpent is an old platform. I was on average 1.2 sec faster a lap with mp10t over the serpent. I was struggling all year to be in the hunt for tq in the truggy class. generally qualifying in the 4-7 spot in the a mains. 1st time out with the mp10t racing the same guys I had a tq run. 2nd and a 3rd overall in qual points qualifying. ya I turned some heads driving a new brand after being with serpent 8ish years.. my buggy ran the st-rr in the same series and was faster then the serpent most of the time but he made the old st-rr look good. so with all the new truggys coming out I wanted to try something different and why not try something your buddies run for sharing setups. made the change over pretty easy.

Update on using one starter box box both the MP10/T. I have the mugen box and just put the front pegs on it cause it lines up with both cars and it seemed sturdy enough when locked in the front to start both!

I agree with you on the front pegs and if you are the only 1 starting your car.. if someone else starts it and doesn't get it lined up. poof there goes your starter box wheel or belt.. best case is a little smoke from the wheel hitting your chassis.. or if they are in a hurry for a flame out.. but everyone has their own way... I did it your way once and it almost cost me a race.. thank goodness I found another box to get my car started for the race..

The same old Kyosho E-Conversion will work perfectly fine. You may have to trim some of the battery tray mounts in the front.

ya ya homie. Last weekend at hobbyplex in Omaha we attended the techno series race.. few minor changes to the truck and it was on fire. Did everything right.. tqed 1st round. 2nd round i made a goof. Left transmitter on buggy so didnt have all my steering.. ended up 4th overall. In the main 1st lap i was taken out sent me to last.. but got back to 2nd for the podium.
