[QUOTE=RC_Greg]"MUGEN
good to excellent performance
relatively expensive
poor parts availability, long lead time on essential spares
poor web site/support"QUOTE]


performance: mugen performance is excellent and it's very durable. you can have the fastest car out there but if it can't handle any bumps from another car or the board, it's not worth it. it can do what you want it to do as long as you know what you're doing. and of course, practice is the key as people always say.

price: competitive. the prospec may look expensive but if you were to buy a different car and upgrade it to the point where it compares to the prospec, you've probably spent more. if you were to compare the price, the stock mugen should be used for comparison because that's how the others come.

parts availability: i don't find it hard to get parts for the mugen. if it's not available locally, there's always online source like leemuse, ace, and mushroom just to name a few.

web support: mugen may not have mytsn like serpent but with so much mugen cars out there, it's always easy to find the starting setup for a particular track. the mugen team drivers to me personally are by far the most friendliest and helpful people out there if you were to attend a big race.
