I have both 811e and 8.2e, imho the snake is more durable, but better change the front tower to alu. 8.2e cvd can be easily bent, but can be easily fixed also with a hammer... Control wise both cars can turn very well, but the snake can be quite pushy with factory setting... But the snake has lower center of gravity bcos the batteries are lay flat
If i have to choose one now i will choose the snake just bcos i need much less time to maintain the car...
