Why did you chose the mugen?

i love my jammin but out of the 2 you posted id have to say mugen its one fine machine

Is the jammin a better truggy?

Id say mugen also, i havent broken anything on it, not counting when the servo arm popped off, but that was my fault.

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.

the jammin truggy is sort of outdated but its still a great truggy. but the mugens seem to be a great truggy and they can take a beating
