I can’t help feeling a little burned. I purchased the (relatively new) 4x Pro in late July, simply because it was an out of the box offering. Now it looks like the future might be back to a more conventional design (albeit with the current mid-mount craze, thanks to that Medius decal on the hood of the teaser). I’ve had several things going on, so I haven’t been able to get everything I need to start building the car yet, so it’s still in the box. Given that it’s likely to use the same shocks as the 750 (the Eryx apparently does), I would probably want to switch just for the potential parts share around that... Anyway, just venting over here - carry on.
Yea, I'll be pretty disappointed if that is it for the 4x. I was loving the car and when I first bought it, I wanted something different and it was a toss up between the 4x and the AMX. I hope I didn't make a mistake by going Serpent. I'm really liking the 4x and I hope they continue to develop the car.
