Which 1/8 buggy to convert for racing?

[GO-RIDE.com]

My problem is the local 1/8 track does not open for about another 2 months and is about 1 hour from me. It would be tough for me to drive other vehicles. With a short season I need to find something before it opens to get it converted and somewhat setup.

RC8 does seem really nice, and if I was going nitro I'd probably go that route. But, doing an E conversion I don't want to pay top dollar for a new car, convert it and find it's not for me. I'd rather find a used deal or something like the MBX5 that is being closed out.

My buddy has a used 8ight and hopefully he'll sell that to me, unless I find some other great deal before.

I guess if your a super aggressive driver, get the 8t, but if you want durability and consistency, the mugen is unmatched.

May I also recommend the rc8?

Although, this all means nothing unless you drive one, everyone is different.
