+2 It would be nice if everyone would sit back and take a minute to realise that very simple fact, and take that very simple action, instead of all the 'brand bashing' that occurs. Take your pick based on your preferences, do your research, and just go out and HAVE FUN.

I think everyone would agree that every brand has had some weak point or another. And, because of this it open a market for part replacement. This is not limited to only the manufacture of your choice of RC. As a result of parts weak and or strong, it opens the door for us (Humans) to have choice...

Some elect to buy aftermarket and some elect to by stock (Replacement parts)

That's one of the greatest things about this hobby!!! "Choice"

I personally enjoy the building and modding aspect with a stock vehicle. Am I sold that a 50 dollar diff housing is going to make me faster... no .. but for some a 50 dollar diff housing gives them that piece of mind - and with that alone helps "Them" be faster.. Its really just ones opinion verse an others.

Bottom line - if you enjoy your aspect of the hobby it doesn't matter if you run duct tape and tooth picks for your suspension... As long as your are enjoying it!!!

I agree that every single buggy has a weak point.

The O.P identifies the MBX6 as perfect - I would say it is not due to chassis flex issues.

I'd rather have stronger than lighter until I get really good.

True, even with aluminium braces Ive seen a few Mugens with warped chassis.
