TTech Information
In answer to your questions .........
SLIPPER CLUTCH The XRS does come with a slipper clutch as standard. It is the full Team spec lightweight interlocking alloy plate one, which is also prebonded to the prop shaft at the TTech factory. The transmission is 100% guaranteed, against any mechanical failure. PRICING/TAX The VAT or tax that you pay depends on where you live. A customer from Japan or USA for example would not be charged any VAT by us. If you are within the UK or other EC country then we have to charge VAT. We state clearly that tax and shipping will be added and this is then shown before you confirm your order or enter any payment method. This is universal to all International companies such as TTech. Hope this helps TTech Racing Ltd |

I thought it said the Slipper and pre-built prop shaft was a limited offer on the XRS??

no, for the time being all XRS's will come with a slipper clutch and the prop shaft will be built. The first few will also have their diffs built as well.
even though building the propshaft and gluing it with araldite is a little daunting, it would be better to assemble it in the actual chassis that it is being used in. I am not sure if this is going to be the case, or if they are being built on a jig. Setting the end flaot on these things really is a critical step of the construction of the Preds. |

I'd rather have it come pre-glued personally, since I had to drive to b&q to get the araldite, then I had to stand in b&q for a while looking at all the various araldites - non of which looked to be "normal" araldite, before choosing one!
The 15 minute stuff looked good tho, I couldnt bear the thought of doing that step and then leaving it for hours. |

personaly, I still shudder at the thought of having to 'glue bits together' on what is suppose to be a top level car......

Worked on Aeroplanes, the fact that it uses a bonding agent doesn't bother me, it is the fact that you aren't buying a cheap kit but you are still left with 'assembling' a simple component. We had to do this sort of thing 15 years ago, but now, most if not all kits require simple 'assembly' with maybe a little 'fettling' and also the fact that you get the propshaft wrong, performance suffers I would of though.

XRS info needed
I'm on the verge of ordering an XRS, but I need to know :
1_Do I need to order anything else from Ttech, i.e different springs for the shockers ? Any spares (I don't crash, but it has being known for people to run into me..) 2_I like to build stuff once then run it, none of that crazy altering setup and shock oils etc, so can somone (Graham...) give me a basic good setup (oils, springs etc) 3_Will I really notice the difference if I get an X10 ? I thank you. Andy. |

Hi Andy,
The spring tuning kit is a good idea, but I have not changed springs for a while now. I run this set-up almost everywhere now: Obviously with the tyres that suit the track! Only change camber and maybe go 5wt or 10wt higher or lower from there. It will be a good start. The rear springs are kit, but the fronts are different. Spares:- The spares pack that TTech offer is great value and has the right parts in it. The XRS sounds like a great car at a great price! :eek: If you need anything just ask. G |

Andy I have spares should you need any also, the spares pack and a front gearbox top etc. Which i'll bring to races with me, just dont break somet same as me!
If you want window masks for it just give me a shout ill wizz some over to you (dont think they come with any anyway, I have orignal design and jimmy design ones) yardy was running 55wt in the rear with that setup at batley. |

Ordered !
Cheers for the info fellas.
Ordered the car + spares today from TTech. He confused the hell out of me regarding springs, aparently there is something different on the back of the XRS compared to the X10 ? Anyway, he said the springs in the kit should be fine for grass tracks, so i'll wait and see. Cheers for the setup Graham. Andy. |

Really what TTech needs is some exposure in the US. I would be willing to race one this season at So-Cal if they sent me an xrs. :jimmeh
