i'd go with the hyper st pro because of it's price and it's reported durability.

p.s the xray xt8 is cheaper than the rc8t you know

Did you see the track where they did the testing at? If your recommending a truggy for a European style track that is a good site (and the person asking is from the UK)..But for an American track their test has absolutely no meaning..apples & oranges..For me to be honest the shootout has no meaning at all..to me, Proof..The first ST-R was designed for the European/Asian style tracks, It did not do good here in the states, in European and Asia it did fine. To me the large big bore shocks are of no advantage on a smoother tighter track either. They weigh more..Not hating on anyone but I have seen this link before and I did read the results..When they do a full on test at a Supercross style track..I'll pay attention.

Status: offline 		I'm just getting my st-rr dialed after 4 months of breaking the
original parts and hopping them up and my buddy begs me
everytime to drive it.

I tell him there's a $100 driving fee. I get to drive his 8T for
nothing. So far I've made $200 in the past month and he's
selling his and getting a st-rr. I guess that's enough research
on his part.
