Just to throw my 2 peneth in here. TX very kindly sorted me out a team drive for this year even though I have had huge home commitments with a new little family etc. They have been very understanding with my situation and let me carry on at my own pace for which I thank them very much!
I have only been able to race the X11 on maybe 7 or 8 occasions and to be honest I would love to have done more just to get more feel for it. It can be over 5 weeks between drives for me at the moment so I feel that every time I use the X11 its like starting out all over again.
But when I do get out there and I get a feel for the car (usually at the end of the day) I bloomin love it! I only started racing in 2008 but I have owned RC cars since the mid 1990's and to me, the whole point of owning the X11 is to be different to all the other buggies out there. In the right hands (as many top drivers have shown in the last few years, Ellis Stafford and Kev Lee spring to mind) the car is perfectly capable in its kit form of going really well. It all comes down to how much you want to stick with the car, learn it and enjoy it for what it is. Once you start standing shocks up etc,
to me, it is no longer a Pred!? its then becoming a clone of all the other buggies out there. Now I'd love to stick with TX for next year but if they decide I am not the man for the job, then that is perfectly understandable, but i'll still be racing the X11 next season......and loving every minute!
