Yup, Chris Bing won mod buggy and Greg Hodapp won mod truck. I remember reading that magazine over and over as well.

Some guy named Jason Ruona got 2nd in 4wd mod that year. I wonder what ever happened to him..

Chris was at that track weeks before the race practicing and showed with the win. I have the Associated VHS tape with the race on it still!!!!

poor guy is working out in a factory in florida making tires, or something to that effect.

Looks like the shock towers clamp over some sort of an aluminum insert thats used to mount the inner camber links...

Other than that it looks very xx4..... a 2.0 much like others have said. Wonder if there wasa an issue with keeping the motor cool....?

Have you checked the last 4 pages which are all from the last 12 hours.

Badger5

Didn't realise this was already out there, 4 pages in 12 hours seems like its already in overdrive. Nice looking buggy though.

!!!! FINALLY!!!!

I'm wondering if TLR did realize how much awaited this car had been. I almost prayed for this car to be a updated XX-4 , and so it looks like . Even the rear shock mount is same style "around the diif" like in the original XX4. But as far as we can see all the weak points have been revised- shock towers look bulletproof. If the car is belt drive, they for sure have replaced belts with wider belts ( or at least front belts are not module 2mm but as rear 3mm)

I loved the way xx4 handled , it was much asier to drive than B44 etc. shaft cars are just to sensitive.

Hmm, carbon fiber battery case or did they do some chassis swaps during testing?

kjrell

Many batteries have a carbon fiber look-alike paint.

This buggy looks sweet!
