Predator XRS

[tobbe]

Hello!

I recently talked to a guy that wants to trade away his Pred XRS! Now I just need to wait for him to reply if he wants to trade it for my home-made crawler project that I didn't finished. It seems like it's going to be a trade!

But the Pred he trades isn't fully ready to go. There are missing some parts and a diff is slipping. Not so much although. But anyway, I'm going to order the missing and broken parts if there will be a trade. At the same time I will order some parts that usually breaks during a crash for example. But I don't have any idea which parts I should get for the Pred. A-arms I don't think I need because I'll get a whole extra set of A-arms. But what else? Thanks!

hi there!.... you wont be disappointed if you do get the pred!!!

spares i would buy are:

-2x spur gears (go for the x11 white gear)
-1x set of front and rear hubs

Also, it might be worth buying one of the bulk packs of wheels?

These are great value for money, and will keep you going for a long while.

Hope this helps,

very true!... but go for either the orange or black ones, the white ones are fragile, they cost me a qualifier on sunday

they do a x10 spares pack which includes the above plus more except the spur gear so i'd just get that and a couple of of x11 spurs.

I saw that happen. It just sort of disintergrated with 3 big cracks across the wheel.

i didnt know that cooper... thought it was the same as the x10... thanks for clearing that up


and rcbob... this discussion has been had many times.. the main reason why "all" the "top" drivers dont run one is because they are all sponsored by the likes of associated/ hotbodies etc... nothing to do with the actual car....

just a question out of curiosity... have you driven a pred before?

Tom,

People can move teams at the end of the season though, you had yardy who is one of the top drivers in the country, he moved on, you had northy, he moved on, Why???

I dont think losi are all that interested in 1/10th Off road, i dont even think bloomers in doing the nats this year, im sure if he approached Xtreme they would snap him up, but the fact is the drivers dont. And the X11 isn`t a new car yardy ran variations of it early last year and Northy had one for southport National so people could see its potential, the truth is they believe other cars have more.

Not having a go mate but i do think some of the kids on this section of the forum have there heads buried in the sand
