The Mugen is a nice truck, they always have been. But they are also an expensive truck. The LSP-R was a very durable truck for its time, and with minor upgrades is an absolute tank in terms of durability. If the Trophy is similar in design and you can find some older 7075 A-arms with some of the king heads hop-ups then you'll never break it again. EVER. It takes ALOT to break the diff casings, so it does suck when they break, but frequency I had in replacing parts on that truck was nearly never. The only times I ever broke it was doing super stupid stuff that doesn't allow room for error. Aka, bashing at a BMX track, or doing Exhibitions at a Monster Jam event. I used to do that once or twice a year with Team RCMX in Omaha NE.

Was a blast. Huge Monster Truck sized jumps, 10,000+ people in the stands cheering you on as you break a whole bunch of stuff. Expensive weekends, but FUN weekends. Quad vs RC car races too.

It was almost as much fun to tally up the damage totals as it was to break the stuff on live TV.
