Each brand has it;s high and low points. I race with alot of Losi guy's and thier truggies due develop slop and the bearings in the rear need regular maitenance to keep up. The arms are about bullet proof. But when i look at setup and gettings things where I want them it seems hard to do with the slop that developes in the LOSI. Now I run the MBX6T which does not develope slop quickly but has been prone to weak front arms. The Mugen has a few more tuning option with the pillow ball suspension. No diff problems in the Mugen just make sure they are shimmed correctly. Both are solid platforms but to me the Mugen is better all around.
