My experience is if you are doubting the car is the right choice go with the car you think is the right choice. You can never go wrong with a Mugen. You know you want it.
I have eaten a rear belt on a high grip surface myself. The urethane belts may help.

virtual r/c
Has anyone played virtual R/C. I'am new at it,but it seems that the R-40 feels better thant the kyosho RRR and the serpent 710. Is it just me, or does anybody feel the same? This is with the stock set-up...

The only difference between the different brands of chassis in VRC is the final drive ratio. I'm not sure if the stock setups are the same, but they will all handle the same on the same setup.

Heres a pic of my R40. I still need an engine, pipe, and a few small things to finish everything up, but up until now everything has gone together very smoothly.
