First hand experience w/ losi's electric conversion vs tekno (8ight is v1)

[stum]

I've been running a tekno v3 8ight buggy conversion for some time now and I was going to do a rebuild on it and picked up a brand new 8ight race roller kit for 310.00 to do my swaps.. anyway after driving my brothers 8e 2.0 for a few minutes tonight I was wondering if I would be better off just getting the losi conversion kit and swapping over vs trying to keep my tekno kit. I'm just wondering if anyone has raced BOTH on the track and had a chance to compare and decide which is best.

I know the tekno has the mechanical brakes which is nice and I do use, but I'm fine working motor brakes as well (use to it from my erevo). Other than that I'm not sure there was anything holding me to the tekno kit, and it would be nice to run the plastic spur so I don't chew through 13 dollar pinions running the metal spurs.

Thoughts from any vets?

PS I'm not switching to the 8ight 2.0 this year.. maybe next.
