Default MBX5 vs Prospec

Hey all,

Well, I was all up and ready to get the Hyper 8 until I started reading more about OFNA's quality problems. I have been racing an H7 for about 1 year now but wasn't completely satisfied the the build quality of the RTR, as well as snapping shock rods. I was hopng the the H8 would be better, but it seems like its up in the air.

Anyways, I really don't want to fork out +$700 for a kit, so i was wondering if you all had opinions about the MBX5 vs the Prospec. I am not familiar with the Mugen line of cars, so any info helps.

If all esle fails, the X-Ray Xb8r seems reasonable, but I am concerned about parts availablility. I don't mind buying tires as I am going to race this kit so i will probably ed up buying new rubber anyways.

Thanks

John
