MBX-6T M-Spec or RC8T CE

[Nard Cox]

I know from my own experience that my RC8Te (with some upgrades) is holding up pretty darn well (no breakage so far), and the worst stuff isn't even in the clips.
But I'm reading that the Mugen should be even thougher so from were I'm standing it looks like a win-win choice :)

ps. Will you have one of the before mentioned truggy together with your 8T 2.0 or will it replace the 8T 2.0?

I will still have my 8T 2.0 at the same time. I am possibly going to get rid of it if I like the new one alot better.

Mugen diff are maybe stronger than RC8 diffs, check the type of diffs spur on RC8T, helicoidal or normal, helicoidal is stronger and has a better efficiency.

Mugen, no question. I just sold my RC8T for my MBX6T and I'm so happy I did. Durability, design, performance, and weight are much better on the Mugen from what I've seen so far. My Mugen is 1/2 pound lighter than my RC8T was too with the exact same electronics and batteries.

It's helical and yes, helical gears are stronger than straight cut under most conditions.
