As for parts, I vaguely remember the on line retailers rolling out parts as little as a week or so after the first models came out?.
I'm actually very keen to see if Mugen can pull back a lot of it's market, so many have become either Xray or now Capricorn pilots, me I made a decision to just hold with the 4 till the 5 came out, but then I'm not a major racer either.
(I did almost buy a Serpent though, just cause I hate working on the 4)
There is also another battle brewing for Mugen in 1/8th scale with the above mentioned brands, Kerry. Interesting times; and competition is supposed to be good for the customers, so we perhaps we have better times to look forward to.
Hopefully the Mugen designers take a good look at the issue with making the new car easier to work on, like Salven has done with the Serpents.
Kindest regards,
