Which 1/8 buggy to convert for racing?

I'm going to say mugen because IMO the quality of the parts is much higher. Maybe Losi's new products are better, but I always chose ae over them because of they're quality. Just look at the MLST.

I would check the quality first, maybe ask around some forums to find out more about the 8t, but the mugen is superior in existing set ups since its older and a world champion more than once, has better quality aluminum upgrades, but the two handle SO different, so you really need to drive both. Drive the 8t, if you LOVE it, you probably won't like the mugen. If you don't really like the way it drives or only like it or think it's OK, get the Mugen for sure.

In the end, it all comes down to which one you think drives better, and parts support. Nothing else really.
