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
thanks ! Damn you guys are already so supportive. I'm overwhelmed by the reply and feed back .Thank you. The only thing I didn't like about the mugen was getting the pivot ball tight enough to run smooth but always had a little play I had to keep an eye on it .I race in RC MADNESS in CT. AND RC EXCITEMENT in FITCHBURG MASS. I never made the Amain , I came close on the last day I raced but unfortunately my best friend who was my pit man committed suicide right after I spoke to him and we had a big race on that Sunday. I went after the funeral. I tried my best but without him there I only made the b main and it left a void .so I stopped racing for a while.a year later I bought the Agama A8. I was the only guy with an AGAMA from mass to CT. It was so fast I loved it . Then my wife left me and I lost the passion to do what I loved best. I'm just getting back to my normal self and I deserve to do what makes me happy and is such an enjoyable hobby.im glad u guys are so cool . I want to be on the tekno team .I like how u guys role... I'll keep an eye on ur posts and hopefully by the 20th I can post up my new buggy when it arrives. I'm so excited I can barely wait lol.. Thank you again to all of u.!.GO TEKNO!
