1/8 Pan Cars, which to choose?

[Davidwebb911]

So after being out of nitro rc for decades and souly running electric everything, the nitro bug has bit me and infected me. Started with my Evo.3, just purchased a Mugen Mtx7 and now i want a big boy.

Where to start? I know of the Serpent Viper 990R, Mugen MRX6/7 and the

XRAY RX8. For those who run them, what are pros and cons to the car you run?​

For me it'll just be a fun bashing toy and not racing. Just looking for a good, high quality and durable car to turn into a missile and have fun with. Any help?

I never knew there was such a car and do like that RX8 2026 with the 2-speed transmission. Must. Resist.

I would happily live vicariously through your build, so I hope you DO IT!...

This is the actual video that put me on to the XRAY.

disclaimer: have basically no experience running 8th scale onroad; that said since whichever car you choose will mostly be driven around for fun, I say it's hard to go wrong with any of the options here.

all of the brands you mentioned generally have excellent fit and finish, so I guess the tiebreaker here would be which brand you're most familiar with/have the most local parts support for
