The quality of the mugen is good, don't get me wrong, it is very durable, but it is just a bit heavy, I've honestly never had a problem with it, but a fast guy at my track always DNF'd. The mugen jumps well balanced, but is nowhere near as controllable as the kyosho. The kyosho parts just go together so nicely. The mugen is also not very forgiving on the setups, it has to be spot on, whereas the kyosho is much more forgiving, I have been able to keep the same setup on my mp9 for the 3 different tracks I went to and it was very good on all of them. The kyosho I would kind of say is almost like a truggy, it is surprisingly easy to drive. Also, I don't know what it is, but I swear the kyosho seems to land on all four wheels after being thrashed around much more than the mugen, which I always had on its lid.....maybe its my driving style....I cant wait to get my hands on the WC edition MP9.

About the rear uni bending; if you have too much chassis flex, the dogbone could be bottoming out in the outdrive, which causes it to bend. Maybe try an aluminum rear chassis brace to see if the problem goes away.

I have also ran the front mount battery tray, I did something custom with a piece of 3mm carbon fiber and I don't know, you deff have to put some weight in the rear of the buggy if you want to keep the rear end planted, I mean my buggy rotated better than my strr but I couldn't get traction on anything not grooved. I kept the regular radio tray in my tki2, I'll do a little more test n tune with weight in the back this weekend.

Last weekend I snapped two rear universals 93mm ones on my tki2, very upset I was holding a solid 4th in my race, 2nd time running pro too, I was not happy at all. Looks like the outdrives just wear 2x as fast as the front, on my other buggy I put the regular SE non lightweight outdrives on the rear and they seem to be holding up a little better. I also broke a rear center universal and it was hard to see while installed but when I removed the rear end come to find out my rear plastic chassis brace was tweaked a good 1/2". I would not say the aluminum one would be a fix, that would kill the awesome flex the buggy has and rear traction.
