Most newer truggies are the sheet. I don't think you can go wrong with either.
I have a 6T running only on 4s, and it is plain out beautiful. The build was super smart and the design makes sense (front steering set-up). The diffs are butter.
I have raced the 6T since last September and have not broke anything yet. Watch this weekend, I break both front a-arms, sheer a diff, etc..)

I'm not totally sure about that - I think many guys would hold to "their" brand, but some of us have had both. I have no allegiance, but definitely prefer the Mugen since getting it. My RC8T was heavy, and the design was just more complicated. Kind of over-engineered, you know? And in addition to that it wasn't as durable. I broke a few things on it after owning it for a few months.
Granted, I haven't had my Mugen for too long, but when I took it to the track I had some really hard slams and nothing broke. I'm talking nose dives into jump transitions, casing the chassis, etc. The thing was awesome as far as that goes. Plus with it being 1/2 pound lighter I can run a bigger battery if I want
I think the Xray is sweet too - I've had a couple of those.
