as nicked from rc-raechat... ;D

Hi
Its fantastic to see so much interest. In case you were wondering Chassis No's go like this :- (you've probably worked it out already)

EG : X1050001

"X10" Model Name
"5" The year
"0001" Serial no sequence

Most development is now complete, and actual manufacture must commence shortly. TTech is now looking to fix the quantity for this main manufacturing batch. If you want an X10, please get your name down quickly, because soon we shall commit to selling any remaining cars from the manufacture to our International distributors.

I am keen to see maximum performance for all X10s. I am thinking of combining "Vega Power" team deals as an option for the first 500 Predator X10 reservations. This gets the best value for money and performace for Predator X10 customers, and the maximum Off-road exposure for Vega Power

Your enthusiasm and feedback is really apprecaited, Thanks.
(I hope this posting isn't too commercial - let me know)

must have overlooked...
still don't know what vega power is

[DirtRacer]

Vega is a manufacturer of Speedo's.

Im guessing that he (Richard W) got a deal for his drivers and formed some sort of alliance with Vega. So the partnership would be that Ttech team drivers either get a free (or part discount on) speedo's and obviously Vega will get publicity on their products as Ttech seem to be a highly publicised car.

Predator X10

The massive amount of attention is fantastic, and of course I fully understand the pressure that is building to see an X10. But pictures of the X10 still can't be released just yet, (don't hate me). HOWEVER THERE WILL BE MORE INFORMATION ON THE WEB THIS WEEKEND.

All of the various aspects of design, development and production are geared up to complete together. This takes careful planning and makes for efficient use of resources and the earliest possible delivery date, but it does mean that properly finished components will come together, right near the end of the whole project. Then, we can give you The Pictures.

Progress bits ..
We have just finished development of the "aero package" and can report significant gains from down-force and internal cooling, as well as some mechanical benefits - less weight, lower Centre of gravity, extra strength.
All Mould tools are in the Toolroom, with modifications nearing completion. I decided to also re-tool the XT wheels, which will now be lighter, and stronger around the hub, and with no internal ribs which can cause jamming against small stones. The material is also new.

If you have a Chassis no, get ready for "The TTech email" late next week, where there will be some "freebies" available.

GENERAL ...
We have remained faithful to the total Predator concept, and at the same time, enhanced it with many many new components and improvements. (faster, stronger, less maintanace, more beautiful). I'm sorry its a wait, but I don't think you'll be disappointed. Look out for the web changes this weekend
