Don't get me wrong, the Mugen is a nicely engineered car, but what material advantage does it give you over the RC8Be? I see that the front end uses a pillow-ball setup, which is nice, but other than that, it appears to a very similar layout and design as the RC8Be.

I'm still wondering if someone like Durango, Mugen, or AE is going to try a saddle pack style 8th scale electric.

What about durability and wear between the two?
