everyone is different! I did a similar swap 2 years ago. Went from Mugens with M8 to Hotbodies with a DX3s. That change made me a better driver as the buggy and truggy suited my driving with more stability and I got that bulky ass M8 outta my hand. I even dabbled with associated, z-car, ofna hyper 9 and losi. I still run HB D8 and D8T but have stepped up to a 4PKS and love it. Its surprising how a radio feels in your hand can tweak driving tecnique as much as it does (for me anyway). Good luck
