If i did't get a SWEET deal on my jammin i personally would go with a MUGEN X5T

+1. All the truggies mentioned are great. The driver is what seperates them. We had a sponsered event at my track this year and a local Jammin CRT took the prize over factory drivers. Converting the truggy changes much of their personality anyway. I would suggest you consider going with what your local hobby shop or track carries the most support for, and how much replacement parts are. This aside, I'd go with an 8T due to the offset diff.

I have been reading and one thing I thought my help you decide is considering parts availability. I have both the X-Ray buggy and just picked up the Losi 8ight-E buggy, while I haven't had time to compare durability I will say getting parts for my X-ray buggy is a pain in the butt. I have a great local hobby shop, but it is smaller and they have to have a certain dollar amount in a order to buy from X-Ray. I have waited as long as a month for a part. That being said though you will likely not need a lot of parts for the X-Ray they are tough. Not saying the 8ight isn't just haven't messed with it to much yet. I also just bash I don't race, I throw that in because I don't know what you plan to do. Good luck let us know what you get.

I usually order from Amainhobbies for Xray parts - only wait a couple days.
