Ok, fair enough, what you do with it is up to you and I'm glad your not offended, but It's NOT an X11 chassis - THAT is the point I think we are all trying to get over. It's a early carbon-fibre tub chassis.

You may be confused thinking a 'X11' is a catch-all phrase for a Pred, but it isn't. 'Predator' would be a better catch-all phrase, as the model version normally came after the word Predator. For example 'Predator International ', 'Predator XK98' and 'Predator X11'.

If you say " it's a very tidy Predator buggy based on a early carbon-fibre tub " you would be spot on

Only Predator buggy models with the carbon fibre tubs were the original Predator, the exactly the same XT, the 95 Pro and the 95 one. After 1995, they were all injection moulded.

The X11 also had a different design carbon-composite tub to all others previously. If it was sold to you as a X11, you really were seriously misled

I'd still be interested why you took off the good condition, period-correct shocks you brought it with and put cheaper, common XRS/X10 ones on ?
like said just how i bought it not my area to be honest i was going to show it northy as i know hes the man with them but to be honest i was happy with it with it being so clean as the last few i have owed were not this clean.

shockers leaked to be honest just wanted a working set which i took some off another car i had a lot better condition.

i was going to run it but just not going get chance but to be honest might just garage it with my other cars not really that fussed
