Go for the Hobao/OFNA. I have the XUT, and driven the ST before. I would say the ST does turn quicker. Differences are;
1.`ST has a narrower chassis compared to the GS (which is the widest I've ever come across)
2. ST accepts only flat packs. GS accepts both hump and flat.
3. More steering travel on the ST.
4. XUT doesn't come with brake rotor 'guides' (screwed onto the chassis). ST does
5. XUT uses a gigantic 58T spur, which leads to dramatic weight bias because the engine and pipe is further from the chassis' centerline. This can be experienced on very loose terrain.
6. XUT uses rare 15x24x5 for the hubs (inner side).
I'd go for the ST...
