X-5 discontinued - New 4WD

[jimmy]

A recent problem with the main chassis mold has forced X Factory to discontinue selling the aging kit, though large part stores mean many drivers are continuing to campaign their X - 5's. Development of a totally-new X Factory 4wd car is currently underway...

So - a new 4WD is on the way despite 'a team driver' telling me it DEFINITELY wasn't happening just this weekend Never trust a team driver

So - what do we know about the new car? we're not gonna get anything out of the XFactory guys as they are keeping it quiet, that's clear, so lets throw some theorys about!

Conversion kit? what for?
New car from the ground up? using some donor parts possibly?
Belt? Shaft?

Sweeet =)

Team drivers never trust them =)

I think they would be mad to make another conversion.... maybe something that CAN use suspension components from another car, but really, their own car. Got to be the way to go!!

[burgie]

Well, I think that's a shame, it's a good car.

Looking forward to seeing the replacement though. In the meantime I must get a replacement chassis!!

[peetbee]

I suppose if anyone gets stuck for a chassis they can always unconvert it back into a XX4!!

I can't think of anything that hasn't been done. But expect suprises.

Infact, the X-6 goes well, if they extend the layshaft, run a belt off that and drive the front wheels it won't be far off

[usafaircrew]

I wonder if it is going to be belt or shaft drive?

The "Team Driver" would be correct then, there is NO new 4wd car coming anytime very soon...............yet!!! But you never know what the future holds

Jimmy, sent you a PM mate, you should always speak to me if you want to know what is REALLY happening, and what I can, I will always tell you from within our camp. Trust me, you will be first to know when it does.
