Well then its a no brainier. Losi or associated. I am a Losi guy myself. I used to run only Kyosho, kinda a Kyosho snob like it was the only mfr on the planet, but it was always broken and parts were hard to get and expensive. I dont mind the expensive part but always broken and hard to get parts sucks. My LHS owner made me a smoking deal on a 8ight T that he had sitting in the cabinet for awhile. I went Losi and never looked back. Parts are everywhere and the truck stays together. I pre-ordered the 2.0 and all I can say is what a difference. I am very pleased the 2.0 is better all the way around and parts are almost everywhere give it a month and they will be. In my opinion Losi or associated, I know many racers who love their RC8T. With a big name like Losi or Associated how can you go wrong. But parts support is key, you never know when you are going to break something.
