Cool

To get to the current features of the Mugen, one would have to purchase the pill block hinge pin sets for both the front and rear of the car.
On the 808 this would cost you $90 easy. The Losi would be $68.

The Mugen also has adjustable caster by design and a one peice motor mount. It also comes with tires that you can race with. On the 808 this would set you back another $50.

This is why I say "bang for the buck". It just makes the MBX-6 seem right.

Handling and tuning is another issue. The 808 has proven to be a good buggy and can be driven to the limits with the right setup. I'm sure the 2.0 8ight and the MBX-6 will prove to be buggies that are on par the best as well.

All of these will be great. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them.
Next issue will be local price, parts support in your area and if anyone can help you if you need it.

Take your time and ask the tough questions.
I will not sell my 808 go get one of these. They may be = to each other but not better.
