Then you know nothing about the XX4, since it came out in 1997, no 4wd car has passed it in terms of suspension design they've only passed it in strength of parts & transmission. Nothing goes over bumps quite like a XX4.

As good as Darren Bloomfield is, no 16-17 year old car should be making National A finals against modern cars, esp on the type of tracks we have now, high grip astro tracks weren't the norm in the 90's.

The problem for Losi is, since no body else has worked out what makes the old car so good, do they? After all Gil Losi jr isn't there anymore. Copying the geometry hasn't worked for others so far, so that leaves Witch Craft as the secret.
