For those that don't, I have an xray XB4 that has, potentially, been offered for swap against a friends Awesomatix due to my lack of time running anything other than local club indoor races (which is currently all TC-based).

My first dilemma is, do I do this swap? I'm doubtful that I'll get much time to run much outdoor stuff, and it seems like such a waste to have it sat there doing nothing when I'm loaning the Awesomatix rather than having my own TC.

My second dilemma.....if I do the swap, do I stick with the Awesomatix?? Part of me wants to go for a T4 or BD7 due to being more used to that style of geometry, plus a lot of the club members run the T3/4's so tips are plenty. I have also always had a hankering for an xray tourer anyway.

Help me guys......I'm stuck!
Awesomatix is worth more than xb4, if u are purely doing indoors I would go awesomatix (which model) it is very very good on the rug. And outdoors too proven by richard king.
The awesomatix although looks complicated is indeed very simple its principles are like a 12th front end.
If u do go down awesomatix route get a descent hudy setup system it makes it soo easy. If u dont hace a hudy setup I do have 1 bnip still but regardless of that I think its a no brainer if ur not racing the buggy or wish to swap class.
I think the mi5 is best tc but I drive for schumacher so im biased.. (it has awesomatix similaritys so best of traditional and the wonderful)
