I race a mugen buggy and I've never broken a part on the car. Now, i do have friends who break the truggy arms wayyyy to much, but that's just one more reason I can't stand truggy, they all break something...
The electric mugen guys break the front arms sometimes, but like I said, on my MBX-6 buggy it's been the most reliable car I've owned, even more reliable than my coveted xray...

If you havnt seen mugen break a front arm then you really Ain't watching other cara then your own, Iv raced 4 races in my life (rc) and I drive in my backyard, so I'm not a deep rc driver but yet I no mugen front arms snap regularly, there material is wrong and anyone with a mugen wil notice this.

I noticed this early-on with my 6T. arms were breaking right between the inner hinge pin and the droop screw... specifically when I'd land a jump and someone would lawn dart (or simply land) on top of my truck. The problem had since been rectified. My 6 buggy is dialed. The only thing I've ever broken was the front left arms, but I was also going full wood around our bowl turn when my steering servo's electric connector decided to crap out. Caught the fence and went into a flat spin (eject! eject! eject!!!). Anyways, if the arms hadnt given, I would have bent the chassis... it hit that hard. I'll take arm replacement in that case, any day.

I am sorry if I stirred up trouble...was not my intention.......I love my 6T's and am very happy with them .........but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be even happier with it if the front end was beefier and even more impact resistant then it already is ! .....

this whole thing is a product of forum paranoia, a couple of days ago everyone agreed that the mbx6 was one of the strongest cars available,
a couple of people run into some issues with the front arms and suddenly the arms are no good...
REALLY??
I think you need you guys really just need to calm down and be more carefull on the track; the car is three years old il there was a design flaw in the arm design or the plastic composition we would have known about this a long time ago.

Anytime you have a big weight or wheel on the end of a long arm you are going to have some breaks I don't care what brand you run. That being said our MBX6T has been very solid for us. I think we have broke one arm in two years or hard racing, but Dylan has improved his driving skills as of late and that does contribute to less broken arms.

I've held broken arms against each other, and they're broken in the exact same place, same pattern, in fact, they look like broken replicas of one another, you couldn't tell them apart..that to me sounds like an issue, and not fluke.
Donrod, I love that picture!

Neil, how much damage a board takes depends on the force behind the hammer that's hitting it, that being said I would imagine (because it's you) that you have the baddest motor that you can produce sitting in that 6T. (really FREAKIN BIG hammer!!!!) So it would be moving much faster than normal at impact.

Last time I asked, they were focusing more on their 1/10 touring car replacement. They tend to focus on one project at a time when launching a new model. They are continuously testing new things on all current models though.

What track is it and do you know anyone who is in need of a partial sponsorship? I would love to know if we would have the same issues since I honestly believe our cars are tanks now in the durability department.
I find it hard to believe that some are saying the Mugen is more fragile from a design standpoint.
