For all of them the base will be a Tekin system running on 4s lipo, and with a 3pm 2,4 ghz. and Aka wheels/tyres.
- Associated RC 8FT with the RCM conversion.
- Losi 8ight 2.0 with the Tekno conversion
- Mugen MBX-6 Mspec with the RCM conversion
- Ofna X2 with the RCM motormount
Another option is to just get the RC8e or 8ight-E. What will I miss if I just buy one of those. Ihave the RC8Te, which works ok, but will I gain something from choosing the others.

I've got the losi 8ight-e with the RCM mount. Actually, i have 4 of them which tells you how much i like them.
I'm not a fan of the Tekno conversion because it somewhat limits your pinion choices and I didn't really care for the way the motor mounts.
i also have the RC8te.
imo, the losi 8ights i have are a bit more durable. imo,
1. the aluminum is a higher quality and thicker on the race rollers.
2. the parts are made of a better plastic. imo, the rc8 battery tray is pathetic (which is why i use a losi 8ight-e battery tray in my TE)
3. there's less plastic on the 8ights
4. they all have threaded shocks
5. the 8ights have bigger battery trays and are much stronger
6. the 8ights have a higher differential ratio
7. the 8ight radio box has easier access. (i never liked having to pull off my servo horn to access the rc8te's receiver)
the only thing i didn't like about the 8ight-e was the motor mount. i didn't like the design so i went for the RCM mount. that one is amazing.
i hope that makes your choices easier.
