I spent a lot of time trying to figure the car out and having very little success, this was rubber on asphalt.
I am by no means saying it won't work for you but think about it before you jump in head first.
That's strange the few people I know that have gone from xray to the type-r are all happy with the switch, this is foam on carpet. The type-r is much easier to drive and setup than my xray was, even with the BMI chassis, the type-r also take a much better beating than the xray did.
