Even if you paid more for the Mugen initially you would end up saving money over the long run as the Mugen is going to break much less........ So its up to you, if you love wrenching and fixxing buy the HPI, if you prefer to run all day instead buy the Mugen...... Also to consider is the Mugen is an awesome performing machine, the Hellfire is not anywhere near as capable as the Mugen.... So not only will the Mugen outbash and outlast the HPI it will also runs circles around it in any form of performance comparison ...truly we are comparing two different classes of machine here.........
Since you think you are expert tell me what I've broken over the past 3yrs racing my hellfire? I've drove it hard. We all know how good Hpi plastic is. I can tell you where to stick your Pivot Ball Suspenion mugen at. That IMO is a cheap design and hard to setup. I've had PBS cars before they suck always having to do something to them to fix the slop they get after each time of racing them.

IMO the Savage is one of the toughest R/C out there. I'll run your mugen over with it see who come out the other side
