I have been bitten :(

[kwik]

by the predator bug...

i bought restimax's x10 last year (I think) didnt use it much as i couldnt afford it then, nor get to the local track (eden park raceway) so i sold it...

now i own 2 tamiya f103's and was planning on trying to break the 2 cell land speed record (106mph) with them... and im literally 2 weeeks away from completing it by ordering the last electronics, and i read a thread

it was a thread for the most beautiful RC cars (on another forum) and on it was, you guessed it, the predator x11...

i cant afford a £400 chassis, but i can afford an XRS (just about) but, i have a few questions...

i know the xrs is bassicly a mosre plasticy version of the x10, so what parts (if any) are interchangeable to make it stronger?

or is the chassis not that bad and doesnt break much anyway?

i want to use it for the buggy land speed record class, and then maybe race it at eden park (as i now drive AND have a job

any help apreciated
thanks

yeah i read that, it looks interesting and orange

but how much? im on a realy tight budget :P

i believe its sub £300 and im pretty sure you could slowly interchange parts up to an x11 08.

Drop insidelineracing a PM and im sure he'll be able to help you out with any queries you've got.

Yep, it's basically an X11 but without the big bore shocks and a few of the latest developments. Saying that it still a competitive car and still very strong... aluminium cross brace, steering links etc.

As Dasloth mentioned it would be fully upgradeable to the latest X11 spec.

I would definately advise you to wait for this or pick up a second hand X11 if you're on a tight budget as it will be a lot stronger than the XRS.

Hope that helps

probelem is, is that i have a very limited income...

so about £240 is my budget, otherwise i will need to wait for another 2 months to get the full amount...

so how upgradeable is the xrs? im guessing big bores will fit, and a few other strengthening bits?

i dont realy want to sell my current RC's, and put that and the money i have now towards it as i would need the motor etc.

thanks for any help
