Torn so I need advice

[LouisianaSwampbug]

Santa (wife) is getting me a Christmas gift, a new buggy. I do race so I have narrowed it down to 3 choices. O'Donnell Z01-B, Losi 8IGHT 2.0, XRAY XB808. I am a real big losi fan but I have driven the O'Donnell and the XRAY and they drive well. I own 2 losi 8t's and an Aftershock and a LST2.

Just want some different thoughts and I know you all will chime in and give good advice. Thanks

In my humble opinion the 8ight rocks! Truth be told any of the picks would put a grin on anyone's face. You are one lucky man!

Well if you stick with the Losi it makes your parts ordering simpler since they're all Losi.

But any of those choices are awesome. Your wife, she have a sister? *grin*

LOL, Well if you knew what I had to buy to get that you wouldn't say to much. Yeah Losi rocks and parts are easy to get. The O'don, and XRay are sweet.

stickin with what you got can mean haulin alot less parts around every weekend.The X Ray is the crown jewl known for fit and finish.Finest quality.The odonnel a little outdated when released.The Losi 8 v2.0 looks like a winner.Don't rule out the Hot Boddies D8 wold winner and all great reveiws and hey under $400.00.

Yeah we were just talking about the D8 at the track. A cheaper buggy but it worked well for a good driver. What I have found is this, they all break, they all need parts. The XRAY seems to land better, the O'Don seems to react quicker, and the Losi seemed to be a little faster. Each one had similar setups. So for me it is hard to decide based off of that. Parts are a big concern. Thanks for all the input.

I've had at least some kind of vehicle from just about all the big brands available and Xray has impressed me the most.

I was also impressed with the Xray as far as everything was tight. Only thing I found was that the guys that run them at the tracks seem to have center diff problems. But when you race hard you break things so I can count them out because of that. Thanks for the input.
