Default new to truggies, need some opinions.

Ok, so after some thinking I decided that my next racing class I want to get into is truggy. I was looking at the Mugen MBX5T. What's the difference between standard and prospec and it the prospec worth it? If so for my setup so far I was looking at the MBX5T, ninja engine, and jammin JP3 pipe. What do you all think?

Also, what are some other good truggies to look for?

I have the Hyper ST RTR and love it but the Pro is coming out very soon and should be very nice.

Xray XT8 is a good choice, [link=http://www.teamxray.com/teamxray/products/proddesc.php?prod_id=1974&kategoria=0&catName=XRAY%20XT8]check it out[/link]. At least equal to the Mugen.

The prospec comes wih a few carbon fiber parts and a bunch of aluminum upgraded parts. Do it right the first time and get the Prospec. The Xray stated above is also a very nice option.

Sorry to say but The mammoth st is Out of date and no longer competitive. Its all the 8ight-t and CRT (I don't know if the Xray has won anything yet) But I still say that either 8ight-t and CRT.
