I searched for alot of info, and found the D8T and RC8T CE to be some of the toughest of them all, if you dont buy the older MBX5T, or CRT (those must be bought used, and i wanted a new car..)
The mugen MBX6T are known to be very good, but i dont believe they have as strong diffs as the RC8T/D8T. Maybe i`m wrong, but i`ve read ALOT about it so thats what i found out atleast. The mugens are supposed to have minor problems on breaking A arms also, when bashed hard (comes from a guy that has had both, i just gotta take his word on it)
The RC8T (must be a CE edition with the upgraded shoks ) was chosen over the D8T, because it`s easier to get part on ebay for it from chop shops ;) And i know you like that too
That, and i havent spoke to many people that actually BASH theire D8T.
You know what i mean, not all bashers bash like we do :)
And before race guys start ranting me, i know they are all VERY good on the track, and the mugens/d8t might even be a tad better for some of you, but i did not choose my truggy for racing. I`m a basher that MIGHT test it on the track some day
PS: i`m thinking about selling my e-revo now, and buy a D8T as a second car ;) Gotta have 2 cars right? hehe..
