If you're talking under the body, the Xrays by far.

If you're talking with body on, as said before, it depends who painted it.

for some reason I can't find my poics of my Xray Truggy, so the NT1 will have to do :P

The XT8. It is a thing of beauty. Sold a while ago (thanks for reminding me, I need to update the garage).

I currently rock a Mugen MBX5T prospec for a truggy and don't currently own a buggy. Pic of Mugen truggy...

Foxy, how do you like the Mugen's front end pillow ball suspension? And are you racing it or just bashing?

Maybe Foxy will say different...But from owning all the machines I will say that the rougher, looser and nastier the track surface is, the more the Mugen shines.....Mugens float over everything and are extremely stable.... On a surface that had our X2 bucking and kicking the Mugen was on autopilot...... On a well groomed high bite surface the X2 was really good as it has very aggressive turning characteristics..But on the loose rough tracks the X2 fought us every step of the way....We tried everything we could and could never get the X2 to feel right in our conditions, it was always way too ass happy and would not track straight no matter what we did..... Even on our straight we could never open up the X2 as it would get out of shape way too easilly, whereas with the Mugen we could crack full throttle and let go of the steering wheel and it would track as straight as an arrow...... And on the loose rough surfaces the Mugens turn extremely well and very predictably, which means you can drive much more aggressively without spinning out.........Mugens however have a little less steering when you get on high bite well groomed surfaces and have to be driven harder to get the same turning, the X2 whips around the corners effortlessly, while the Mugen would tend to push a little more...The Mugens built in stability can work against it in the high bite conditions........ However we usually run on poorly groomed surfaces so the X2 just wasn't in its element.....Still am awesome truggy, but at a huge disadvantage on the surfaces we run on...its just way too aggressive in the handling department, which made it very unstable in our conditions........ The Mugens are like a big Cadillac..They just float effortlessly over everything ! yes they have a little less steering, but on the looser, rougher surfaces they are untouchable IMO....

I've always been a fan of pillow ball setups, the only way to make an off road car imo. Nothing to add to what Tib says. I've not raced the mugen, but I raced the xray a bit back in the day. I m ight do some racing with teh mugen, but tbh, if I'm going to race this season, I'm prolly gonna buy another xray nt1 touring car. By the way, you can add some more turn-in by putting a somewhat crazy aggressive toe out on the front.

''There is NO best anything in RC.''

Except it shouldn't matter to other people what I think is the best looking buggy. It's a subjective opinion. See how that works? [X(]

They all look the same to me, the paint job and wheels are the deciding factor
