Yes that looked really planted and fast on track, amazing design still to be winning races now.

It must be 15+ year old design?

xx4 is prob one of the best/longlasting designs of car ever,second only to the RC10! I think the original xx4 maybe be a little older than 15years?

if the car was a little stronger and spairs were avalable it would still be very popular today!

That is why the CAT SX uses the front geometry and now the SX3 uses a similar layout.

Think I recall that Kevin Moore took the magnesium chassis'd prototype to the 1996 Euro's with Pops and Junior after testing at Eden Park!
Think he TQ'd but finished second behind Craig I believe!
And he wan't thank me for reminding him of that!

Best I check!

I was there and watched the finals. The XX4 was carried to the track in a bag and they pitted under the table so noone would see the car. It went really well on the grass at Lille! Pops and Junior were really friendly and approachable too I remember.

Yes the Xx4 and BJ4/44 must go down as legendary designs and still winning today!

Just had a look in an old copy of Model Cars from 1996, the XX4 was £329.99!

Never really ever had any problems with front or mid belts, it was rear belts I was going through this season. Really love my xx-4 don't think I will be running mine anymore, it's good to see it still winning.

Ha yeah it's pretty much 'as new' they is a few good condition used parts on there and the chassis is pretty battered underneath but I'm trying to sort a new one out!

I did give it a run the other night, it only has a 7.5 in and felt abit slow, then the rear diff came loose. On closer inspection I had built it wrong!!
