Awesomatix does their reputation no favours by including the garbage alloy turnbuckles. Everybody immediately bins those, as they’re fragile as glass.
The p03 kind of needs a redesign as well to be more robust.
And the lack of alloy long arms is a head scratcher.
Great car, but they're really losing market share around here because of those issues.

I know if I have wanted to sell an Awesomatix it's always been straight on the main for sale boards, as noone on the Australian boards (or facebook pages etc) will even look sideways at them. There's been a used A800 up for $200 for weeks now.

If you want a tank get an Xray T4. The Awesomatix has been plenty durable for me. I have broken a few hubs and bent/broken arms but only after pretty hard hits.
The P03 are annoying but cheap enough to have a few on hand and replace whenever they get the slightest but of play.
Never broke one of the aluminum turnbuckles in the year that I ran them but installed some RCMaker titanium becaue I'm a sucker for bling.

My 2019 Season will be with my 800's...it seems that the new xray and bd9 have caught up to Awesomatix.
I will agree 100% with "ntm" above. The original turnbuckles break or bend very easily...the Ti upgrade is a must. While I have no complaints about P03's....what I do think is another mandatory upgrade is getting rid of P13's and upgrading to xray or 3racing ball cups.
After those improvements the 800's become a lot more reliable on the american board tracks.

Looks like Awesomatix is doing just fine in the states...

No denying that Awesomatix still has a strong following in the US, however I was simply making the observation that at least in Australia it's kind of waning. Although that said, RC in general is sort of struggling here of late lots of politics and micromanagement kind of stifle what is supposed to be a fun hobby.
