i just wanted to know if this its a good car as i have just order 1 is there any other parts in need to race it

front diff housings and front hinge pin brace are the only spares you will need, i had two xxx4g+ and all i ever broke was the diff housing and pin brace. if you can get hold of the titanium pin brace it will save you a few bob in the long run

?
anybody help me out how long do the belts last and are they easy to mesh the pinion gear up

Yes it's a good car, the belts will last ages if setup correctly. Front shock towers aren't the strongest though it you drive into things hard.

thanks mate are parts cheap or do they cost the earth and are parts easy to get from local modelshops

if you've just "ordered one" then it's too late to worry wether it's any good or not.
However they are a pretty strong old chariot with sealed belt drive that's fairly indestructable if looked after and reasonable suspension. They were dropped n favour of the older xx4 simply because the suspension is better on the xx4 (for real bumpy stuff)
Treat it right and it's a good car that'll last ages. Fookin ugly though...
