The 09' Spec XT8 is flat out awesome IMO. It didn't look like a huge change from the old XT8, but it handles way different. I had the original XT8 and loved it. Absolutely the most durable truck Ive ever owned. I sold it last fall and bought a Associated truggy cuz I kept getting beat by them and I drove my buddy's and really like the way it handled. I loved the RC8T for a while, but after a couple months it started to get to me cuz it broke way to easy for me. I might have been just spoiled by the xray toughness. So long story short... I bought the 09' spec XT8 and it is world different than the old XT8 on the track. It is just a s stable as the old one, but it turns even better than the RC8t and I didn't think that was possible because the RC8T handled great.
A good friend has the 8t 2.0 and he really like it too. Its a great handleing truggy as well. The only thing I dont like about the Losi is I feel like everyone and their brother has one. The Xrays seem to hold their value better too. I always see them going for good prices.
I vote Xray.
BTW Sower, you are gonna like the XT8'09.
