ORIGINAL: Mugen Mbx5
I would say it handles as well if not a little better,but set up has a LOT to do with that. The Mugen is heavier but a good amount more durable, but once you do a couple upgrades on the RC8 it is awsome. Get the one you like better,either one will be a top level buggy and one is not better than the other.
Set up???My rc8 is rock stock and it handles like a dream!!!!!!!Are you saying that from experence or just hear say.My guess is hear say cuz if you've driven one youd swear by it...
