I ran a 22 this year. It was a nice build and parts, although electronics installation was tight, I didn't break a part all year. I struggled for pace almost everywhere with it though, carpet, wet/dry grass, high grip astro. It actually often felt pretty good in practice, but I would struggle for pure pace against other racers. Despite Gnarly's great support in the Losi section I only managed to make marginal improvements through setup.
Going back to my B4 this winter felt great, but today I tried an X6 for the first time, and found an immediate improvement in pace over the B4. I would definitely consider an X6.
As has been said though it's always helpful to have a car with a decent spares supply and be able to share setups with your buddies, so consider what's popular locally.
