Need brushless buggy advice

Why does everyone think the rc8 is any less durable than the others? Raced mine for three years and broke a rod end on the steering linkage and a front upper arm after three years of 6s racing. I would say the car has well over 1000 runs on it. Mugen and losi are good cars too but I don't really think any one in particular is tougher than the next. It's 1/8 they are all built pretty stout to begin with. Oh I forgot I blew up two center diffs in the last month on the super high traction indoor clay track at wcrc running 6s mmpro and a 1400kv motor(was a 1700 but a bit much for indoors) good luck with your decision, any way you go you will end up with a good car. One plus is the rc8be is around $400 which saves some dough for batts and such compared to your other two choices.
