I have edited this post.
I am thinkin about getting a Mugen MST-1 stadium truck (my other choice is a Jato). I know Tex mentioned that he thought it was great. I was wondering if anyone else had experience with Mugen Seiki products. My main concern is parts availability. If I break something how hard will it be to find the part?
I found the MST-1 kit at http://www.rcplanet.com/mugen_mst_1_stad...8_prd1.htm for $169.95, needs 2 channel radio, 2 servos, Receiver, Battery, Body Paint, .12 Engine, Manifold, Muffler, and Starter box.
I'm not happy with my RC10GT, another $300-350 to make it the way I want it with a DSM controller. If I can get $200-$250 for my GT I'll have $425-$475( I got some extra cash recently) which leaves enough for a pretty good engine and the spektrum DX2 radio system and extra parts and new tools.
I need to add to this. I am also considering the Jato. The reasons are parts availability, hop-ups, etc. But I would need to probably sell some stock parts to get it where I want it. I would sell the TRX 2.5 to get a .12. So on and so forth.
Pros and cons of Jato VS. Mugen MST-1? Anyone?
