We propose a charged, electrically neutral, and flavour changing Z' model to conciliate the apparent disagreement between the important excess found in the top-antitop Tevatron forward-backward asymmetry and the null -compatible with negative- results found in the LHC charge asymmetry. We show that this model contributes positively to the forward-backward asymmetry, whereas naturally a new cancellation is turned on at the LHC, yielding a null, or even negative, charge asymmetry. We found the

We show that the model is safe to atomic parity violation constraints and to tj resonance searches, and propose a possible increase in the Z' width to avoid ttj constraints. We evaluate the constraints to the model, as well as distinctive features in the fore-coming experimental results.
