Hate to say that, but after a season with XT8 2009 spec, I have to say go with mugen.

I've been breaking stuff on every race like it's e-savage. 2009 spec got few new parts to save weigth = they keep crashing. It's small joint that holds front upper arm to shock tower. However if it breaks, your lower arm will got with it as well and there is good chance to loos/bend shock as well.

also I've broken average of 1 rear hub carrier per race. Which is total nonsence considering small tracks I am running on. I am guessing new mixture of plastic. Maybe boil them will help. Or of course there is 50$ alu piece that will do the job.
Or there is Mugen for same amount of money...

however 2008 spec was perfect and I've never broken anything on it.

next year I want to go with buggy, there is massive xray support around here, but still I am considering to switch with truggy to mugen and get mugen buggy too....
