if you want to do some serious bashing or jumping you cannot beat the durability of 1/8 scale buggy i have mugen mbx4xr and i raced a good bit this summer and i only broke parts on one or two occassions a hinge pin after a tough collision with concrete my fault 100% and a broken ball for a steering tierod bad landing on a big jump and i mean bad landing some things came apart but all could have been the fact i didnt use the proper locktite during assembly i have had nothing but good times with it so far and recommend it to everyone
you always get what you pay for
