I own a mugen mbx-5 and let me tell you, they are tough. I bash mine very hard and I have only broke an a arm and bent a shock shaft in 2 yrs. The truck and the buggy are build w/the same quality components.

As far a s a motor goes, a Medusa is a cheaper alternative to a Neu and half the price...they are very well liked by many forum members. I own a Neu and a Medusa. Both are very good..If you are racing, go w/the Neu,...if you are doing both, well, the choice is yours.

Mike sellls some batteries here that are very good...don't skimp on the batts! You get what you pay for!

good luck!

For batteries I would recommend looking at the sale Neu is having right now on their 25c stuff. I hope I'm not doing anything against Mike's policies by mentioning that. It's just a discounted price for a while as I understand it. I just picked up a 6s 4300 for $150. A 4s 4300 on their site is going for $109 right now.
