hello
as for me i will like to say serpent 950R its the best 1/8 scale car to me.

Some say the Mugen is better, some will go for Serpent....
I drive Serpent, but actually it's more because I'm Dutch...
If for both cars it's easy for you to get spare parts, I would go for what's best for your wallet......
I also have the idea that Serpent comes with newly designed stuff more often than Mugen does, but maybe I'm wrong.....
For the engine.
Is it your 1st 1/8 scale car?
If so, buy a engine which is not very fast (a 5-port engine or so), it still allows you to race, but it handles better.........

what's the top speed of 1/8 cars i got told the serpent 950R with a JP motor it would do 85mph

i want fast i got a MTX-3 that i race and i get about 70mph out of it i want to start racing 1/8 cars i think i would get more of a rush

Tech Regular
Its more of a prefrence thing. Both kits are good, you should pick the kit that you find has the most availability on replacement parts. In my own opinion i would go with the mugen. and if you want a powerful engine and dont have much intention to take it to the track check out this one http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXEPH9&P=7 . if your looking for something for the track check out www.teamtrinity.com for some engines or look at this one. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXCKY1&P=7 . same thing with engines, prefrence and reliablility and availability of parts.
