I am also looking at a Jammin CRT X2 those look pretty good.
As far as durability: I have run the 6T since august racing every weekend. NOTHING has broke. I guess I race and don't bash, however we take 30' doubles 10' in the air at our track. If that isn't testament for durability, I don't know what is. Plus getting pushed and smacked around with other truggies going 30-40mph.

The 6T is definitely better than the 5T (I had a 5T). I never drove the RC8T, I am sure it's good. It is a newer release, so it's longer, possibly thinner. All new

If you can afford it, get a 6T. I got mine from amain for 495$.

I haven't seen any run yet (X2). There are a couple CRT 1s at the track, and they seem okay.

Here's the deal, whatever anybody runs, they will say "theirs" is the best (myself included). All I know for certain is the newer generations of truggies are really, really good. They have added length, thinner, wider and lighter. I don't think you can go wrong with a newer truggy. My 6T and a losi 2.0T rule our track every week.

I know you originally asked about older models, however you may wish you would've gotten a newer version the more you invest...

ok thanks again for ur input! I think I'm going to decide (whatever I can find cheapest) between the Mbx6t, the CRT x2, or the Team Associated RC8t.
