I used to run an RC8 so I get to pick on old melty. Great car. Just not a Mugen or Xray. If they had X-ray plastic and the servo sideways like the D8 and the engine further forward......I'd still be running one.

I also didn't like all the pills and shims. The RC8 deosn't need that much adjusting. And my car devoloped play quicker than I liked. after a few gallons I could feel the extra play making the car sliggish, grippy, but sluggish.

Theres still are alot of ancient Mugens running around. Can't argue with that kind of long term life.

I feel that the Losi 2 is the fastest right now. But I would not buy one.
