First, I'd like to say that I do like the 8ight T. I think that it is designed very well and is of robust construction. The 8ight buggy, and its truggy counterpart, were very much anticipated, and as a result many flocked to get either one or both. Many that run at my track got them. Some time has gone by now and I have heard some feedback from owners. The reviews were mixed. A few loved them, but many said that they found the 8ight hard to drive and needed to learn to drive them. I too have driven the 8ights, but I'm not a good enough driver to really be able to appreciate any one brand over another, except the X-Ray, which makes even me look good.

Everyone who has the CRT seems to like them, but most say that they find that the parts, more specifically the arms in the areas around the hinge pins, wear out more quickly on the CRT.

Yea, I would get the Xray or the Mugen MBX5T Pro Spec.

Jammin's are nice....so are the MBX5T Pro Spec's. Still like the Kyosho's M777 ST R too.

That is really nice. Especially wit the 2 new servo's. :027: I'd suggest bidding first, and then if there is a chance someone else can get it... "Buy It Now".

How could I have forgotten the MBX5? I've only seen one run, as they aren't too popular around here (not much local support). I didn't get to drive it, but the guy that had it was just a average driver and it looked good. The friend of mine that I put the 8ight together for, got rid of the 8ight to get an MBX5-T, but lost interest, so I didn't get a chance to mess with one...yet.
