From what I've read on the two the D8 is more predictable and more durable. However, I've never raced either one so take that with a grain of salt. Just some stuff I've seen in mags or forums.

better service, losi's CS is bad

i used to race the hot bodies lightning 2 and it was a great buggy so im sure the D8 is too, but keep in mind the losi buggys bigest draw back is that everyone else has them, but that means cheep parts and lots of hop-ups.

there never is much after market support for hot bodies products

i now bash my lightning 2 and race the 8ight
