You cant go wrong with the mugen. the plastics on that car is almost indestructible and its a clean solid design. i personally would take the os engine over the other package as os is known for its reliability. got 3 engines from os, all running well. it might not be as powerful as the italian mills but it can hang with the best

Definitely go the Mugen option - much better quality, and the motor is a hell of a lot better.
