Either are good cars. I went for the Monkey for the reason posted above, having the motor in the middle of the car offers more protection rather than having it hanging out the back as the Rat does.
I've been really happy with the car. The main frustration I've had with the Monkey is the availability of clear shells. The pre-printed shells aren't very strong and didn't last us long. Ansmann don't sell a clear stronger version (the X2C pro has a narrower chasis) so I ended up getting one imported from Hong Kong. There is a seller in the UK (Concept Racing on Oople) that makes them also though, and people have been very happy with these. The Rat can use the X pro shells.
