I value yall opinion .what is the performance difference specially in the rough and ease of handling? and can someone post the product# for the washers and the lrc. Please help. I think im gonna go for the NB4 . Please help . Thanks guys
i run both a tekno and mbx7eco usually back to back on the same race day. (i know the eco is *slightly* different in feel to the nitro) so in honesty the biggest difference has been that the Tekno needed much more set up time and fiddling than the Mugen to drive at a similar pace. The only thing i have changed from stock setup on the prebuilt Mugen is the rear anti rollbar.
mugen has good steering, Tekno has more
Tekno has looser tail end
Tekno has fastest acceleration of any nitro buggy ive ever seen (when it hooks up)
Tekno can be too twitchy or loose if incorrect set up for track is used, Mugen feels easier to drive
Mugen needed very little "set up" to be as quick, on my track anyway
Quality and durability is great on both
Tekno is something different, everyone around here runs Mugen
pretty happy to run either honestly
