Yea mate!
I ran it at Oswestry, it was my worst ever national - NOT because of the predator though, that was ace. I just kept melting my motor, even in the final where I ran my B4 ! it still melted. Gonna run it at bury over winter i think

Sorry cannot possibly say on a public forum
 but all i can say is all those people that havent tryed an x10 do so pronto with out childish uneducated prejudice they are quicker ,and i dont care who says there not!  i had the first one out the factory ( check racechat,anyone got one yet! thread) just look at the car side by side with any other 4wd! its physics and trust me theres nothing more fundamental than physics:jimmeh Last edited by SCOTT DICKINSON; 15-09-2006 at 10:34 PM.

For some, it isn't the car that is the issue Scott....

Please explain? PMSL haha
after all isnt this about racing the stupid things if its not about the car then what possibly can it be? if your talking any other aspect of racing eg-cells, speedo, radio gear these may help but put them in the correct chasis and they will allways be quicker

erm, I remember when the first car came out, then people finding faults, buying spares, only for an 'uprated' part to come out, so you had to go buy them, the other spares were obsolete, and it just seemed a sprialing circle of wallet emptying.
Now, I am not saying that is the car now, but that and other factors would stop me buying one..... Like the propshaft, why charge people to assemble it if it such an important part of the transmission, should be assembled in the kit with no 'visible' charge.

from what ive read on various forums on the net, the pred is just as durable as the other 4wd offerings.if i ever went into the world of 4wd racing, whick i hope to,i will most probably go for one of the preds,unless tamiya drops a wicked 4wd on the market.....
at our track last meeting,one of the resident bj4we broke an arm a race,and that wasnt in crashes either.

um scott? hi there...
the driver must be quick... and if he is that, give him any chassis and he will win. offroad is more about driving, expierience and training than the material. even if you own the only durango in private ownership. and no, the bx is not the worst yokomo ever made. it's the latest offroad flagship of a company wich developes that stuff since that sport had it's beginnings (1:12) and wich has some damn good drivers like billy easton and masami under contract. in fact it stands with the pred, zx5, xx-4, bj4 in the same line of the nicest electric offroad machines beeing currently produced and raced. you should get one too greets Marco

I agree with you Bathy!!!
Not taking anything away from T-Tech or Durango but i have run T-Tech before (worst car i have ever driven in my own racing experience). Yokomo MX4 another really bad car. I ran the MR4 BX first time out at the Regional champs and put it in the A!!! Can't be a bad car then surely. Oh and there was 4 Yoke's in the A!!!! I have always said that a pred in capable hands with Mr Weatherly next to you is one of the quickest cars around without him well!!! As for the Durango, it is a very nice car but how did it do at the worlds/Euro's????

I don't think there is such thing as a 'bad car' these days, and it all depends on what you want. I have said, since the X10 re-hit the tracks (as it realy is only a P8 or whatever variant was the last one with some shiny bits) has lots it's edge when it comes to performance. With the new cells we have, power is at an abundance, thats why, even the XX4 is competitive.
With that, you got to look at the bigger picture, if your not racing where there is a good LHS support, you got to have a 'race pack' with you. Now, you know with a Yoke, Losi etc, you can buy parts that will still be the same a year or two later, but you can't with the X10, that is the nature of the X10. But as I say, for 'racing' they are ALL competent cars, just you got to pin your flag to a chassis camp and be done with it.

ANYHOOOOOOOOOOOOOWS.... back on topic now.
I think that if Tamiya are looking seriously into the off-road scene again, then they MUST be looking at 2wd as well, in the future.

"Yokomo at the minute", do you mean the BX? "old hat touring car with bad offroad bits on it" You can’t be talking about the BX… can you, it's a worry.... If only someone made a car for passion only and not a profit  Scott you seem like a bright lad, why don't you go into business and sell us this none profit making 'wonder' car

Woha guys, calm down, its only a game!
 Seriously, some opinions goin round on here, fair enough, but please remember guys everyone has a right to their opinion. Scott, your opinion is being challenged is part of expressing your opinion and challenging other peoples opinions. By the way, this isn't a stupid forum, it's a clever one.

I must be in a posting mood today…
Having checked out the video of the car in action, damn that thing can jump… Evidently a well balanced thing. I still think it’s a shame that Tamiya aren’t doing more with the Dark Impact concept but oh well, what can you do. Be interesting to see if it develops more of a unique look as its developed. Mat.

Seems this post has a bit of an agro edge...
Surely everyones perception of the best car is going to be what works best for them.. Ive got an XRS purely cos i love the way its engineered and looks so GUCCI.....but thats not saying that when i run it ill be able to get on with it... If the new Tamiya is a copy of the BX the Yoke cant be doing anything too wrong for them to be copying it..but obviously they think it can be improved on.. Again - just my opinion
