The other option is the tekno-rc kit but it comes with some sort of clutch set up? Sounds like more crap to go wrong to me.
The other thing I am wondering, how much abuse will the losi's diffs hold up too? What kind of gearing should I use, using 6s lipo? I know 5s is probably the way to go but all I am set up for right now is 6s so I will try it.
Thanks for any help guys, and sorry for the newbish questions.

Well I have both the 8ight and the 8ight-t, The buggy has the losi conversion, Which is nice but the mount isn't the greatest, You can't really have a range in gearing, The best IMO is the losi kit with the RCM mount. If you shim the diffs right you really shouldn't have that much of a problem if you don't try to do standing backflips on the street. 6s is fine and is actually better than 5s when geared the same, Everything will run smoother and cooler.
For gearing I would use BrianGs calc, Wit the 8ight-t I would say it will come with about a 48t spur gear and to gear for about 40 or so on 6s with a 2200kv~ would be 12-13t, But again this all depends on your motor and tires. What motor are you planning on running?
