MBX5 or XB8 ? Which is the better buggy ?

I say if you are going to beat the hell out of your vehicle, then stick to the Mugen. Their parts and hop ups are much more spred than the X cars, unless you live in Europe. This is my own theory, since I've had an experience with both companies. The sense of design and overall finish in the X-Ray is way better than the Mugen and it's very tough, too. The Mugen gains the upper hand when it comes to popularity and parts availability, though. I personally like the Mugen more if I were to race, BUT, if you are looking for a tough, sharp looking and something you'll forever admire, the XB8 is the one.
