Price is a little higher than Mugen HB AE, but I think if its a good car it will be worth it. Quality is payed for. Most of the time
All the other trf products have excellent quality, and I vave nothing but good things to say regarding tamiya plastic.
It might be a little more expensive, but I don't think the rather high suggested retail price will kick in, tamiya is expensive, but not like Kyosho.
Regarding the tilted engine, tamiya has a little different solution compared to the H9, pariculary the throtle/brake link.
Some other changes seem to be an option, just to have something to show - like the alternative battery mount, don't see myselves using that.
