Pretty much what my thoughts are too. There is no 'best' buggy. They all have there good points and bad points. The one reason I switched from Kyosho to Mugen was the wear, I was not impressed with the wear on the driveline and the shocks on the Kyosho. I will say it was a very nice handling car and stock setup isn't very far off for making a person comfortable. As for the Mugen, I am still new to it at the moment but it does lots of things very nice but needs a bit more setup time to get it dialed in. One thing I can say for sure is that it has a ton of corner speed and rotates and excels very well out of the corners.
Ride height is up there too and the car loves it, F28.5mm, R30mm on most dirt tracks.
My Son and I have run Kyosho since 1996 and we don't intend to change. It's not like I haven't tried other brands. I regularly buy and sell buggies and I have raced MBX6R, MBX7, Sabre X3, Assoc RC8/2, HB and so on. They are all good in their own right but we have found no reason to switch from Kyosho yet
Even with the shockingly hopeless Kyosho support here in Aus.

As for front arms breaking I think Mugen(including MBX7) could be a little stronger. Kyosho arms are much better since the last upgrade a couple of years back but they still break if the wreck is bad enough but it has to be a pretty big hit, I haven't broken one in a long time now.
Look at it this way, wouldn't you prefer to only have to change out a $5 arm instead of a more expensive part after a bad wreck. I'm guessing the manufacturers have this in mind when designing the parts.

Might not be the best for you!!! (Or us mortals) cause how fast it wears or breaks! but for pure performance when NEW! It cant be beat..... there is a best........its the 1 with all the championships!!!
those wins aint no fluke..........hands down if a company is going to design a buggy I bet you any money the test buggy is a kyosho! The buggy they run against to pace there's is a kyosho! If you don't believe me ask Tekno! I was there!

If you don't believe me ask Tekno! I was there!This statement says it all but I will add one thing; TKI3 owners don't need to chase setups, they pretty much work well on all tracks with only a few minor tweaks to suit conditions. Mostly we only change between orange and blue rear springs, possibly camber, sometimes front toe out and maybe move the top rear shock in a hole on the tower.

well
The three best cars in my opinion are Mugen, Xray, then Kyosho. My last kyosho was a 777. when the mp9 came out I told myself I would not buy another Kyosho. it was and is too expensive. Every kyosho car I have had going back to the turbo optima seemed to always need parts. I switched to an 808 and it was nice but then when I got a MBX-6 I was sold on Mugen and have been running Mugen ever since. The MBX-7 is a great buggy.

I have hardly changed my Mugen set-up much after I got it where I liked it from track to track. My Kyosho was the same. They only broke when I was 100% responsible. I take them apart and clean them after every race or practice day.

I agree about Mugen since we have raced them since the early 90's.
I do think the AE gets beat up pretty bad and really isn't as bad as some would let you believe.
