What is TTech Predator?

[FC5687]

When I look around the info of Team Losi stuff not long ago, I have seen a car called TTech Predator. Can anyone tell me what type of the car it is? I am sure this is a 1/10 electric off road but would like to find it is a belt drive, chain drive or shaft drive? And more detail of it.

I try to visit their website but could not open the page.

It's a shaftdrive 4WD buggy with a very unique design, and just like the Schumacher CAT buggies, it demonstrates its creators' stubbornness in creating something unlike anything else. Kind of admireable, and a philosophy like this means sometimes inventions and inovations can be made, and sometimes bad solutions result when the tested and tried tradional solution would have been a better choice.

It's a high performance design, but rather fragile and obviously the company had their problems producing the thing in series, as tolerances and overall quality varied a lot from kit to kit.

The TTech cars and buggies differ mainly by their use of inboard suspension, all round on early cars but front only on later cars. They are very quick in the right hands!

What is their website? Thank you!

The website of Tenth Technology was http://www.ttechracing.com/ but it does not exist anymore. The first car they produced was an off road buggy, with a carbon fibre centre driveshaft and inboard mounted shocks. Later the car was developed into a touring car version which looked like this.

You can tell where Associated got the idea for the transmission and chassis layout for the TC3.

Are you meaning that the TTech out of business? I could not find any magazine or webpage really talk about their products. Strange.
