Always been a Mugen guy but reading this post i'm kinda swayed to jump ship... how's the car holding up? been on the deciding factor since Mugen just release the MBX5R. I'm looking to get a new buggy by Chistmas so looking on which one to own now.

By the way, i notice the setup sheet dif config are usually R-2k C-7K F-5K that's pretty much what i ran my MBX5 but i had my center dif pump up to 10K all the while and no one else seems to do that here. Can any 8ight owner cmments on how it holds up on 10k center dif oil? especiall on rough tracks and jumps.
