Cool USA TEAM DRIVER REPORT

Hi Guys

I have enclosed a race report that I have received from one of our Team Drivers in the USA. This was at a Trophy Race.


Hi Yanina,

How are you? I just wanted to tell you about trophy race today. I qualified 5th and fin. 5th in the A. The X11 started out a little loose on new tires so I tried worn outs, WOW the car was so much easier drive. the track had a couple of big jumps but a triple that was a nightmare to hit consistently. I choose to double single it. I do not have alot of parts to go all out. It was at least a half a second quicker but if you crashed, you could be done. I still managed to keep pace with them. The car was awesome on the rest of the track. I was behind 3rd and 4th with 2 laps to go when I went for it! ....oops! I piped it. The 3rd place car crashed on the next turn. I would have had 4th with a chance for 3rd if I just waited! ... Oh well. I am still happy about how good the car was. I did not make that many changes. I raised the ride height to 20 mm ft and 24 rear, it seemed to jump better. I also put 2 o rings on the oneway that's it..

Brilliant!

ben car and concrete never mix well m8, i snapped the back off my xx4 last week at kiddy launching it backwards off the end of the straight when i lost it totally but crashes like that that break a car so badly (no offense tom) are normally a driver break rather than a car weakness, must say that the new developments looked good at epr yesterday especially towards the end of the day on adam and lewis's car, nice to see things being pushed forwards

was sort of my fault but there was also a big rut in the grass, and with it being wet, it hit the rut, the back end went away and slipped and there was the concrete.... all happened so quickly, wasnt much i could of done about it really....

and ben. it was at the front yes, close to the front inner pivot block, by the three screws ....

congrats btw ben, heard you did well yesterday

Yardy ran a 1 way in his x11 last summer, i think northy also had one later on in they year

Mr doorbell, without knocking what you have done with the pred, it is hard to see where you have improved on the design, from the pics it looks like any changes that you have made are not visible to the untrained eye. If you dont want people to know what you have done to the car, why start a thread titled "x11 Prototype". It doesn`t really make sense to me

I've got a one way shaft for the x11 aswell, as you say it is just the rear part of an x11 shaft and the rest is x10.
