i've never seen a pred go that well on really bumpy ground, a bit like the old XXX4.
If your track is bumpy then you would be better off with a xx4, much easier to drive on bumps.

why not consider a different car? the xx4 is long in the tooth and not sure how long spares will be supported. and the pred isn't happy on bumps.

yes but these parts are from the ttech america so it would be a long time after ordering the parts that i actually recieve them plus you can get tax on the parts from over there coming to here.

i would like to buy the x10 for the fact its the cheaper one out of the 2 plus it looks so much more a solid and stronger looking car. apparently its fast and good on bumps aswell.

Team xtreme bought ttech racing and are in the process of setting up a new website.

The shop on the old ttech site should still work, but you could pick up the phone, the guys there are really helpfull and knowledgeable and don't bite

The ttech america shop was actually run from the UK

Pick up the phone and talk to the new guys at Extreme, ask them about the car, and tell them Graham North sent you

i dnot run a x10 and the last pred i hate was 5 odd years ago, but i think i remeber seening a purple and orange one pushing the xx4s around like cray last year and this year at all the national tracks

sorry mate just realised that the ttech website is in GB pounds.

im seriously very tempted to get the X10. ive only every seen one go round my track though... but in all fairness it was chassing championship leader . and ive just realised parts look verycheap aswell. condsidering i used to race touring cars which are a extremely expensive comodity.

Well, i have both cars - X10 and xx4.

I think it is fair to say that the X10 is stronger. I know i broke less last year running the X10 than i have this year running the xx4.

There lies the clue really - i have both cars, accept that the x10 is stronger, but still cloose to use the xx4.

The xx4 is a quicker car it shows from results phil sleigh, kev lee, tom cockerill, richard taylor are all maknig it easily into A finals with the car and also the only other car to win a national exsept for the aero a1 is the xx4 by darren bloomfield. Shurely this tells you something.

That could, only slightly, be due to their thumbs!

There are to my knowledge 6 X10's running at Nationals, against god knows how many XX-4's, so the odds of the XX-4's being in the A is fairly high.

Yardy puts the Pred in the A often.

If you look back at some of your early posts you are asking if you should get a xxx-cr or a b4 then it's a xxx-cr or a b4 or a rb5, then only the other day you are asking about a xxx4. Go back a bit more and you are asking about a d4. Why not put a few more cars on your poll, i haven't seen you ask about a yok bx yet or a bj4.
