isnt really was looking at the x11 as i had a xrs a few years ago but thought id see what you guys could recomend.

only getting back into electric because not sure if local 1/8 ralley crosstrack is staying open.

so there might be a xray 808 with extras and os v spec and pipe,starter ect ect( only done 2 race meetings) up for sale for swap for right car

all the main competition kits are more than capable, and spares for all of them are freely available with the exception of maybe the Tamiya 501x.

Basically look at what is performing well at your local club and if you can get spares locally for it or trackside in an emergency.
Maybe try out a few cars at the club and see which one suits you.


People can recommend anything and have a huge raging debate as always happens in this type of thread. Only answer is go and try some for yourself.

might be interested in the 808 if the price is right

Somthing that i would have thought as a good idea would be ..

Somthing strong
Easy to drive
Easy to set-up
Easy to work on
Not too complicated
Easy to find spares
AND performs on the track

Team Associated B44 in my eyes..
