For the money I would either go Hyper ST Pro or the Caster K8t if I were to buy today. If you can afford the RC8t I would go that route as I have only heard good things but haven't seen one at any of the 3 tracks I race at. Hotbodies D8t, well who know when it will be out and will it be good? Can't say. I am not a fan of the GS.
If you do look at the RC8t for the price also look at the X2. If you aren't and those two are way over your price range this disregard
