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.........

See, you didn't watch the entire video. Half way into the video he's jumping a gravel hill. Gravel is not soft. He was jumping atleast 15ft, with that hellfire. And for obvious reasons I posted that one where he's jumping the mugen cause that's the only good one I could find of the mugen. All of the other ones were on a track. I don't know why you compared a Savage to a truggy. That's beyond me.
