I see where you are coming from Corey but Phynix is right and you guys are saying the same thing. The Losi's tend to slop out as you indicated. To some people that is a deal breaker and they want a tight car. I currently race a 8ight-t 2.0 with tekno conversion and over time it has developed slop, but that's not a bad thing, just what happens.

That said I recently converted from an 8ight 2.0 to a XB9 and there is a huge difference in the fit/finish and how it wears. I have a buddy that I helped convert his XB9 to electric after he had raced it for several seasons (enough that he needed a new chassis!) and was surprised how solid everything felt (steering, suspension, drivetrain). The Xray shocks are a huge step up from the 8ight shocks imho (although the new 16mm are pretty nice and I have upgraded them on my truggy).

The Serpent and Mugen are also very nice in their own regards and seem like solid platforms.

The biggest thing would be what has local parts support and is there anyone else running one at your track. Breaking a $5 part and missing racing sucks. Also if you are having problems with your car it helps to have someone else take a look at it with a fresh set of eyes that are familiar with the platform.
