X Factory X-7 Prototype 4WD Buggy Third at JConcepts Clash

Paul Sinclair drove the new Gen 5.2 prototype of the X Factory X-7 4WD buggy to third place at the J Concepts Clash. With no practice with the new car before the first round of qualifying and rain shortening the race to just two qualifiers and the final, it was a good result. Ellis Stafford will begin testing the newest X-7 before the end of the year. X Factory engineer Paul said, “This car has been in development for some time and every new version is faster than the one before. This latest one has completely solved a reliability issue while keeping the great performance. The belt system is now whisper quiet while delivering ballistic power. The car was excellent over a very bumpy track that was badly affected by the weather and the 1:8 scales. We expect to begin production of this latest model in the spring.”
Below is a video of the car in the A final. Please note that as the X-7 body has not yet been designed, Paul’s prototype car still uses a JConcepts Punisher body.
