Another guy running the same truggy at our track and had 10 pairs of right front a-arms that were left over from breaking the lefts. maybe I'm crazy, but if mugen is not going to fix the issue the least they could do is sell a discounted package of 10 left a-arms.
I like the MBXTE but frantically changing arms in between running other classes has me frazzled by the time I get on the stand. I also run a losi eight 3.0 ebuggy that took the same track and worse landings/crashes without issue.
I read that some people have used sworkz arms on the mugen. Can anyone confirm these fit or others that do so that I can try them? muchas gracias! ulch
The weak arms is a known issue with mugen, going all the way back to the original 6T. People who tell you they never broke an arm are full of it. Yes, not crashing helps, but I've driven other trucks. although they break other parts, the front arms don't break like a mugens. Every manufacturer has a weak spot, and we all know what the mugens is. Mugen drivers and fanboi's will tell you it's a driver issue not the truck.
You might as well try the Sworks or even the Arrma/Durango arms, what else do you have to lose other than some more Mugen Arms......
