Nowadays it seems that both c-hub and pillow-ball are very durable. My personale opinion if you are going with c-hub style I would stick with either x-ray or losi as that style seems to be less prone to issues.

Off power steering is pretty good even with 10/5/2. I like a lot of steering (last buggy was an agressively setup 808) and for a tight indoor track I ended up taking the front sway bar off to get the steering / rotation / traction balance that I was looking for, but was really dialed at that point.

Don't think that Lipo would fit not in the battery box where it should go

Lois Lipo is a no go, need a stick pack like: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...ducts_id/15789

I actually have a venom 1600 lipo in mine, but it looks just like this protek one.

Just wanted to second this!!!

I assembled my rear 2k diff with the S3 o-rings just to see what it would be like, and well, if felt like a normal diff with about 300,000 weight in it lol!!! Probably not the greatest properties for the rear diff..

The Losi Li-po battery that was made for the Losi slider will fit in the Mugen box perfectly.

man I really wish mugen would hook us up with the updated parts, or even sell them to us that bought the kit when it came out for a dicounted price. I think Im gonna try 7-4-2. I have never tried heavier in the front then the center so I hope it will work out
