XXX4 - why not ?

[Rob Fitzgerald]

I know the XXX4 seems to be a very unloved car here in the UK.

Why ? - what exactly is 'wrong' with it ?

TIA

I got one of the original cars when they were first released, I couldnt get help with it, a decent setup, it was slow and boring to drive - indeed, I was faster with my B4 at the teesside 4WD regional.
The G+ is a lot better, but it needs money spending to make it work from what I know, different steering setup, one way etc..

I have seen them crash and thats enough to put me off getting another, they seem to explode on impact.

i was really pleased to get the car, dont get me wrong, it was the first modern 4wd I'd had since I started racing, before that I had a 1989 super dogfighter and an optima mid. I have raced (team oople driver) John Price's xxx4g+ and it is a good car but its extensively modified to work well.

They were awesome on flat surfaces but spilled their beans at the first sight of a bump.

i had a fairly modifed G+. i raced mainly on carpet indoors where the car was awesome and is still king. but outdoors for regionals i was quite off the pace. the rear end bounces around over bumps to much.

i must admit i found it a pretty durable car. racing a 10x1 indoors on a small track with very solid walls! only ever broke a couple of front shock towers and a pivot block.

you could always buy a cheap xxx4 and buy a aero4 conversion the bomb
