i would think for the money the xt8 will be a bombass truck. i dont see anything wrong with it at all and that extra 170 can be saved for another set of batteries.
im probably going to go with the xt8 but if someoene can prove to me a reason why not to then idk.

For me, the initial cost of the roller isn't as big of a deal because I can probably get a very slightly used 8-T for less than the XT8. It's pretty rare that a used XT8 is on ebay vs. a used 8-T. Either way, I just want to make sure I'm getting the right truggy for me. I'm only interested in racing - not bashing. I currently have a X1-CRT pro and it's great . . . however, I would really like to go to higher voltage, I have a new battery design I would like to implement, want better turning radius, and I like the idea of a new project.
Anyway, that was leading me to the 8-T but I'm not totally sold yet. I also liked the MBX5T but it's not really supported at my LHS for parts. The XT8 seems nice, but doesn't have threaded shocks or the lower profile tires (fixable). I also don't know if the shocks are the oversized style like the 8-T and the new CRT shocks.
