Both cars are good. You can set them up how ever you want them to handle.
Which car is supported by your local hobby shop more?
When you answer that question that is the car you should buy.
As far as hop-ups that are sold for the D8 you don't need them. Thats whyu they're called hop-ups and not replacement parts. I run mine bone stock and I'm in the amateur amain every time I race.

Get the 6. I have both. The D8 is for sale. I bought both in Sept. On the D8I have broken 7 drive shafts, 2 front diff cases, bent 1 front hinge pin, worn out out drives, all the cvds need replacing & the list goes on and on. On the Mugen I've broke 1 rear upper rod end & 1 front upper arm & the car is still tight. The D8 is more forgiving but the MBX6 is WAY lighter & tougher.

I'm in the same situation.
I have a X5R, looking for a new chassis.
I had the MBX6, unfortunately the 1,0 version. Didn't bother to upgrade it, and I was quite annoyed by the "sudden" upgrade version.
I'm waiting for the Tamiya 801X.

The upgrades really aren't that important. The 1.0 kit is a great car. I personally know mugen drivers that have not put on the upgraded parts, and it doesn't seem to bother them. If you're getting beat by someone with the upgraded kit, I can guarantee it's not because of the lightened outdrives or the revised arms.

It's so weird, the upgrade things to the MBX6 apparently isn't noticeable, but for some reason all the other nitty gritty mods are. If they released the upgrade version after two months, for no apparent reason, well, thats even worse, then it's just for the bucks.
Noticeable changes or not, I'm waiting for the 801X, I'm quite sure that'll be a noticeable change
