This is incomprehensible.

Please restate your question as clearly a possible.

I wanna know what is the best and smoothest 1/8 electric out
In terms of weight
Durability
I'm stuck between losi Durango serpent and duratrax associated hb

Any input on what seems to work best with less setup and fine tuning
I wanna also know which could feel closest to a 1/10 4wd buggy

You will get a million different answers for this. The "best" depends on what you want and what you intend to use it for. Are you racing, bashing or both?

If you are just bashing, it really isn't necessary to invest in a Serpent. It's a very expensive high-end race machine that would be overkill for just bashing. The Losi 8ight would be a better pick. Very durable, parts are cheaper and readily available.

While I am obviously a fan of the Serpent, it is not light. The DEX408 is the lightest of those 3 in my limited knowledge. All 3 are capable chassis' out of the box. The Serpent and DEX require dual 2s packs while the Losi as I understand it can also use a 4s block as well. The S811 and DEX are both much narrower and electronics are more tightly packed. Only haven driven a B44 as my only 10th scale 4wd, and the DEX and S811, I would not say either feel like a 10th scale.

What are you going to do with the car?

An 1/8th scale is an 1/8th scale and a 1/10th scale is a 1/10th scale. They are going to be different.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the Tekno EB48. Best car out right now.

The EB48 fits your criteria better than any of the buggies you listed , it does feel like a 1/10 too me . Meaning it responds very quickly to control inputs and is very nimble . It has a LOT of steering without the push associated with some other chassis . Mine has also been super durable so far .
