Default benefits of an x11

hi
i am thinking about getting a predator as i am looking to progress in my driving in 4wd and the guys at team xtreme seem very helpful also as they are uk based it is really usefull. but i need some help as i have enough money to get a xrs now but what are the benefits of the x11 over the xrs and x10 and also how does it compare to other 4wd buggies such as the b44 which i have at the moment.

any advice or help would be much appreciated.

Hi there!

The X11 in my opinion a much more reliable and stronger car, i have an X10 which i raced last year and it was very rare to get a whole days racing done without a breakage!

The X10 was stupidly quick, but i couldnt push it as hard as i would of liked due to the risk of smashing it to bits! This is my first year with the X11 and its been a tough introduction to the car at times! However towards the later part of the season i could/can see the difference between the two cars and alot of that is knowing the X11 is a stronger car so i can push it more and gain better results!

I would easily say the X11 is as strong as any car out there today, but every car has its weak points!

There are many subtle changes to the X11 which just make it that much better than the X10!

If you can stretch your budget to an X11, do it! If not, you'll buy an xrs and end up spending more money on it making it close to the X11 spec.

I have run a B44 a couple of times this season and i do prefer the X11... i find the B44 "boring" to drive whereas the X11 is a pleasure and the better you do when it comes to results, the more rewarding it is! (when compared to the B44)

If you need any more info feel free to PM me!

Cheers Tom

just to agree with tom the x11 is alot stronger than the older preds which in turn means u can feel safer pushing it which the car loves to be done also team xtreme are always testing and devolping the x11 which can only be good and as thats the car the team runs they we will all help u as much as possible

the x11 an amazing car... it is very easy to work on and a pleasure to drive.. and you get way better quality parts when you get the x11.. and all of the updates on the car alone is well worth the extra money.. just trying to convert the xrs to x11 spec will put you well over the price of an x11 kit.
my advice is save alittle more and go for the x11 it is the same car that the team runs and you will be alot happier performance wise as well as strength..

hope this helps.

Wouldnt you be curious to try one for a few meetings Lee?
