I can speek for the mugens...they are extremely tough and easy to drive. I bash my mbx-5 hard and have only broken an a-arm...both my own dumb fault for taking my eye of thee buggy as it was doing 50

haha.. sounds like a memory though.

i am up against getting an MBX5R with lightened chassis with nothing else. no wheels, body, spares... nothing. 160ish shipped. then i have to convert..
vs
Ofna 8 converted to brushless already with 2 sets of tires and 1 body. >100 for sure


so there is my delima. i have no idea what to get. would the Ofna break alot?

Have you ever looked at the XRay XB8?? they are around $200 on eBay and they are great buggies.. Just a thought..

just got a Hyper 8 already converted to brushless for 66 bucks off ebay last night. needs to get thrown in the washing machine. other than that all seems fine.
