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......
actually arrma drivers swap their arms to mugen ones !!!
i bash a hobao hyperstar E by now and broke many arms until are added a small U shaped steel part. I avoids the arm to break at its weak point ( at the hinge pin )
As I bash hard, I 'm very happy with the result . notice the shaped I made better on the right steel "bandage"
no arms broken since then
I did the same on my xray xt8 and will probably on my mugen mbx7 that i just ordered
