Losi or Mugen or X-ray.Truggy

Buggy I'm assuming? Truggy maybe?

Losi for quality as well as availability.

I think XRay is the top dog in overall quality - followed very closely by Mugen. Losi isn't in quite the same class as XRay or Mugen in this category(Losi is good, but Mugen excellent and XRay is the gold standard). Losi is likely the most "available", followed by Mugen. Either of the 3 can win on race day.

I know your working on a x-ray kit what up your sleeve.

RC-Monster Mike · 09.11.2009, 04:27 PM

Any plans on a D8T kit?

SV6000, Kyosho didn't engineer the ST-RR correctly. IMO, you don't fix a track width issue with extended hubs.

You make the arms longer. I think Kyosho are in the pipeline of making a new ST that has all the proper upgrades.

It was like the 777 SP1 & SP2, the 1 was crap as they addressed all the issues on the 2.
There were a lot of Kyosho drivers that ditched the 1 for the 2 as soon as it was released due to the improvements.

Don't get me wrong, they are great cars.

I just think their R&D is slipping.

MBX6 for me!! No way Losi is in the same league when it comes to quality

I've got a question about general build quality of the Xray. I have an XRay XT8, which I got brand new (from eBay) CVDs/cups. I also have an Ofna Hyper 8 buggy. I've noticed the dogbone pins and the slot in the outdrive cups wear a lot faster on the XRay than the Ofna. Of course, the drivetrain strain on a buggy is a lot less than a truggy, but was curious what people thought of the "Hudy" parts on the XRay. Other than that, I don't see a whole lot of quality difference really.

So if i get a X-ray or a Mugen and you guys get your parts straight i wont be disappointed.Right.

I am not very familiar with xray, but can say that my various ofna hyper products (7 8 and st) are better than any of the losi, HB, hpi, jammin, mugen and pretty much anything else I have played with. Their mechanical stuff just lasts, and the plastic parts are very well made too. Maybe just me but I like the hyper line.
