pillow ball setup Wow going back to the revo days 
I driven the AE champ, Mugen, Zo1t etc and for me the 8ight its solid as a package the mugen does rotate better but you cannot beat the 8ight with all the important added upgrades period.
If your comparing stock to stock I think the Mugen since it roates better but losi will take a beating no question.
TryTry maybe you like better you never know its always good to try new thing for me I have some much crap for the 8ight its crazy to much $$ invested have enough parts to build two comeplete roller and some.

Well Frank I think you've got the answer you were looking for. Mugen is absolutely the truck for you. As for the arm breakage, don't even worry about that because I think mugen has fixed that problem. I got some new lower arms the other day that were in a different package than normal and haven't had any problems with those arms. The problems with the diffs, well there really isn't a problem. Mugen is no different then any of the other brands out there you just have to shim it right from the beginning. So go a head and pull the trigger already.

j sears : what about the pillow balls if you have a hard landing or side land i heard from somebody that they will break easy ?
and they will pop out from a hard landing ?
so the upgraded lower arms come with the kit and the mspec roller ?
also is it easy to adjust the camber with pillow balls do you just adjust the top ball and leave the bottom alone ? oh yea hows the steering on this thing ?

I have the Mugen MBX6T mspec, it seems tough as hell, it takes the beating that I deal out on it. I've adjusted the pillowballs once, super easy. Really love it, no regrets for sure.

What about the chassis? I heard it tacos fairly quick is it still an issue or have they fixed it?

I can honestly say I have never heard of anyone breaking the front pillow ball on a mugen or have one pop out. Adjusting the camber is real easy now on the 6T. Now there is a washer behind the pillow ball that connects to the upper and lower arm all you have to do to change your camber is add or remove one of the washers. I think just about everybody runs with -1 camber in the front and that is with 1 washer on the top and 1 on the bottom. Very simple. As for the chassis bending I think that is on the buggy but I have never owned a buggy so not sure about that one.

Really enjoying this thread, nice that everyone is keeping it very clean. Our track is mostly losi but more and more mugen showing up. Funny thing is they all break no matter if they are losi or mugen. They will all break arms and anything else you can think of if you donkey flip it on every lap
