I was hoping some new manufacturer will take the plunge, and go all out motor next to battery like the willspeed cars for carpet. Still same old copycat layout with tiny differences .

Shock mounts look interesting. I hope it comes with the aluminum steering rack. Titanium top screws and turnbuckles would be cool. I would be willing to pay more for well equipped. I like tlr for trying to do that with their elite kits.

Those arms look beefy compared to other companies and the shock towers look thicker as well..

Well, they named it. “MSB1” Now we wait a little longer to see what they ask for it.

Odd name choose I thought for sure it was gonna be the Mugen 22 6.0 Elite

That’s what all the TLR people say. Weird though, the AE guys say it’s theirs. Even saw a Yokomo reference on FB somewhere…

Don’t forget Shin Adashi, is the father of the yz2 legacy, the first outta box laydown 2wd. Then other brands cooked the concept with their sauce.
Shin said he created small adjustments on the mugen 2wd, so let’s see.

What about the guys that run AE, TLR and Mugen? #notsponsoredfreedom

That’s my point. I don’t have any brand favoritism. I have, or have had something from all the major brands. Never had a Mugen and this car seems like a great place to start. Just funny seeing all the fanboys claim it’s a copy of their car… Being that it’s compared to 3 different cars.

Thats because it looks like a TLR front end, AE back end and yokomo rear arms.

It'll be an interesting buggy thats for sure.

Looks like Xray is going to need to include the optional AL steering, servo mount, and carbon towers, on their cars. If they want to keep up.

Kudos to Mugen for offering that stock. Definately a superior looking car.

It is similar but I think there are enough differences from AE and Losi for it not to be considered a copy. Look at F1, nascar, motocross even. Their cars and bikes are so very similar, but just enough nuanced differences to make their machines their own. It’s hard to completely redesign from the ground up when there’s already for the most part an accepted design/layout.
My question is price point, if they are planning on a one kit do all strategy and simply swap diffs how much will this kit be and I think that might draw some towards it.

I believe Shin or Drake said in their worlds interview that the aluminum steering parts are optional and will not be included in the stock kit (unfortunate, but expected).
