Scott,

I was refering to off road!!!!
Oh forgot Durango and T-Tech don't do on road.

Just for your records:

2005 Worlds:
1st BJ4 WE
2nd Yokomo MR4 BX
3rd BJ4 WE

2006 Euro's
1st BJ4 WE
2nd MR4 BX
3rd MR4 BX

Worlds Warm up:
NO Durangos in A final, not that it matters at the warm up.
Im not saying the car is no good, quite the opposite. Think it is great car and so is the Pred.
What im saying is how can you turn around and say Yoke is bag of Sh*t, you may have driven them all and found some not to your liking, but there are many people out there that have driven one and prefer the opposite.
Another thing you say is BX is converted on roader?????????
There is no Yoke on road that looks anything like it, apart form the quality of material used!!!!!
I don't think people mind 'opinions' but only when they are valid and not utter crap!!!

Be interesting to see if it develops more of a unique look as its developed.


Mat.
but 3Racing are, so the DF03 is safe, heehee

Reading this made me laugh!

I love my Pred, and I know many don't but that's their problem not mine. I run one because I think it's the best, others run what they run as they think that's the best. That's what its all about.

However, anyone who has not driven a Pred and would like to try one is more than welcome to have a go with mine and make your own mind up. I think the X10 is so good that most would be impressed.

I with you Northy....even though my XRS hasnt actually turned a wheel yet ive just finished the extension with on-suite for it..

I wonder wether a lot of what puts people off Preds it the difficulty getting parts in the past.

I must say though - ive had a few phone calls to TTech since having the XRS and have to say they are extremely helpful and efficient and id recommend them to anyone...

That and the fact i hate having the same as everyone else..

Looks like it has good aerodynamaics on the bodyshell, refering to my years in design and engineering!

Hex fit, they got a good wheel now for the DF03, and it REALY allows the hub to be deep into the wheel.

No joking this time, honest! It has a BX thing going on there; diff covers at the front remind me a lot of the current BX design. It looks like Tamiya have done a ‘proper job’ of their diff covers; looks like proper moulded tuff plastic has been use, good to see Tamiya taking off road as seriously as snoring cars finally. Is there a shot of it naked anywhere?

They’ve gone right over the top with the blue alloy!!! Not my style, even the steering arm are blue alloy, killer on the servo… maybe?

Looks nice, wonder how much they will be asking for one?
