Because when it came out it was simply the nicest truck on the market. Also, mugens quality, fit and finish was hands down 3 fold better than what i was used too. (hotbodies)
Mugens are TRUE race machines from a company that only makes RACE kits. No rtr's from mugen.

Mugens are also great because they are very forgiving . They almost cant be overdriven, unlike the losi which responds better to a gentle touch and careful inputs to make it fast (just differnt driving styles)

I had a losi and mugen, they are both awesome kits, if your a smoother driver id say the losi, but if you like to be full, on the throttle always id say the mugen because of how forgiving it is.
