need some advice
ok peeps i been seriously thinking about getting into competitive truggy racing i been looking around and i've narrowed my choices down to 3 truggs and they are as follow Jammin CRT pro, the Mugen MBX-5T prospec, or the X-ray Xt-8. I've been leaning more towards the Mugen, but i dont know, i really like the X-ray but havent seen one in person before, Jammins are a great choice but you to me get more out of a prospec...?

I've seen the Mugens in person and OMG! They do great. Turn great, jump great, track doesn't mess them up. Good prices too. I have no idea about the other two, but I'm sure you would be pleased with the MBX5T. I also have a friend with the Jammin pro and it does good also, but he seems to break front arms once in a while. Also when he tried using the droop screws on the arms, the diff case would break-or the arms would pull the diff case up off the chassis and strip our where the screws under the chassis hold it. So he quit using the droop screws. But it also handles well.
How is parts support at the LHS's? I'd say that is a big factor. I drive the Losi T and like it a lot.

I would go with the mugen or the xray. I have driven both and I like the xray more. Both will last longer than the jammin as well.

I almost bought the Mugen last year when I started racing. I was real close. But after hearing about how new drivers wouldn't have to adapt to the 8's driving I kind of thought I'd start there. I'm sure I'd be happy either way and I'm happy now driving the 8 and 8T. I like to drive my friends' Mugens. They are fun and to me (NOOB) they feel similar. Fast, aggressive, smooth, and controlled.

Also what do some of you guys think about me using a Ninja MR-28 MO1A power plant as a beginner to competitive racing.???
