Yes sir! The Mugen is a great buggy, there is a good reason why so many people run them. Again though, it comes down to driving style.
The mugen car has excellent rough track handling, probably one of the best characteristics about the car. The rear end of the car is also very aggressive, and likes to slide out and rotate in corners instead of gripping and apexing the corner. Of course this is just my opinion, and it could've been how I had the car setup.
Both cars handle very well. The main difference between the two is the company itself and the adjust ability of the cars. The Tekno car has about a thousand different ways you can set it up to suit your driving style, while the Mugen guys pretty much run similar setups and change only a few things from track to track. Depending on how you look at this it could be an advantage or hindrance. I'm sure in the future the Tekno drivers will come up with a great base setup once we've all played around with the possibilities of the new suspension hangers etc. For the company part, you've really got to look at the level of support. As I said before, the Tekno team and company support is pretty much unparalleled by any company in the industry. Take it for what its worth, but I really like being able to send a message over Facebook to Lutz or Matt Wolter (team manager) and getting an answer within a couple hours.

The team really only ran the truggy towers at the DNC, at this point i believe they've gone back to the buggy towers.

The wing mount is something they've been using for awhile, and it was developed to help lower the CG of the buggy. Both wing mounts fit on both towers.
It's currently available on the Tekno site:
