At the local track my way(Revelation in Ontario, Ca.). Losi 8ight seems to be the most popular. Probably because it's close to Losi's home base. I also think they do seem to have better quality plastic components. I would like to try a Jammin, but afraid quality and part support in my area. Anyway I my wait for that new Jammin Truggy you guys were talking about.
i'll be tomorrow.. i'll have a black body with the monster decals and also a shocker sticker on both sides.. (beginner class)

I raced the X-ray since it came out and have not had to replace anything except the gas tank. The truck is great, and it turns on a dime. When I was breaking in an engine on the driveway it could do 3-foot circles! And of course you get the unmatched quality.

Bobby the 8T's are good truggies and fast in the right hands (ie.. loose handling like the 8B) but they are fragile. I see them break all the time with less expierenced pilots.
The Mugen's are as close to bullet proof as you can get when it comes to the currently available fleet of truggies.

+1 on the OCM DT-19T Truggy.....everyone that has driven it says it turns way better than Mugen or Losi....and is alot easier to drive overall and still be really fast. Aaron Biggers won the Tn. points series with it this year. Truggies are being shipped to the USA as we speak....should be avaliable to the public before Christmas. And, most of the popular internet web stores carry OCM parts....not to mention that customer support is better than any company out there.

Iv'e also seen plenty of Mugens break, pillow balls and rear drive shafts and so on and most nitro cars wear just losi's seem to wear faster but the parts seem to be cheaper and more readily avaliable
any of the top brands these days are a good chioce but go with what suits your driving style and you can get backup on the easiest.
ask the locals their opinions and see if you can have a blast with a couple to compare
good luck on the new purchase
