If you want new go for a Gen 2 truggy - 8T2 etc X2CRT etc
I think so too. Was coming ebay for parts bags the other day and there is barely anything on there anymore :(

Sad as I got a whole F suspension bag for like $25 or so. Arms, pins, bulks, tons of stuff.

LHS support isn't important to me because the LHS near me stocks 99% Traxxas. I guess Ill pick whatever I think looks the best and replacement parts are cheapest. Since the Hyper 9e is $450 does $550 to $600 for the Hyper 9ste sound like a good guess? I guess Ill just spend the money to get a gen2 Truggy like the 8T 2.0 or MBX6T.

So if it's between which gen2 Truggy to get which would you pick?
This is going to be my first rc bigger than a 1/10 and Ive heard that the 8T is very picky to how you set it up...

again all truggies are pretty damn durable... it comes down to personal preference..

8ight t 2.0, ft rc8T, D8t, St-rr, Cen matrix tr, 801xt all good trucks- since you have to buy your parts online anyways.

Well, I've decided when I do my 1/8 Truggy conversion I'm going to get a Gen2 Truggy. The Losi and MBX6T look the best because of the new body style IMO. I like the Mugen but the CF towers worry me bashing wise and with the Losi I have the option to get a SmartDiff.

I know one thing for sure it's going to be a long time before I get anything...

I voted other because you didnt put the CRT on the poll. Ive got the X1 and haven't broke anything in 7 months. The X2 can only be better.

Thunder Tiger ST-1 Pro has been my main rc for the last 20 months or so. Still pretty competitive at racing, even though most other cars are a year or more older. It's pretty solid, I've had to replace almost no parts on it. Cheaper than most as well. Amain still has losts of spares for it. Personally I'd only spend another $200 + on a newer car is if I was really worried about parts staying available, or I wanted the latest and greatest truggy for racing.

I would have to say the Mugen MBX5-T. Everyone I have talked to who owns one at the LHS says they are very tough, I have one and haven't yet gotten to really test its durability but so far it has taken a few tumbles with no breakage. And a lot of people here on RCM think their MBX5-T's are super durable. I haven't heard of any durability issues with the MBX6-T yet either.
