well, I'm no expert and haven't driven the other cars, but I do drive an X11-08 Predatoir with all team-mods and that car is VERY nice to drive.
I'm still learning, crash quite regulary but have onlyonce broke a part during competition, after racing 2 years now (first with the X10 and now the X11).

Only once had severe diff-problems, (EIR '09) but once the problem was diagnosed (thx to teamdriver Nathan Ralls) never hd diff-probs again.

The team-drivers have developped a standard setup that really goes fab everywhere and only needs minor tweaks.

Parts are no problem as I order them all from the UK and have them within the week. So shouldn't be a problem for a UK-driver i think.
It is however more expensive as a B44, that's true.

But ... it's such a nice-looking and exceptional car

i have drive for 3 years predators: x10 and x11 with some mod and optionals, now from four months a schumacher cat sx, but this is more better for me, very easy to drive, the car jump, landing, and go over the big bumps without any problems have more steering and fast in the overall lap...I.M.H.O the pred for me and our Italy track is... and very expensive.

Thumbs up x11

hi max.

i see by your comments you were disappointed with the pred?
I think that the pred is a great car, infact i'm now in the process of doin a 2wd chassis wich will have the shocks in a similar lay-out.

ps..i put on ebay my pallino. LOL

Ive only driven the B44 and the X11 from your list...

For me its the X11 for every reason that Lowie states! I found that the car is very driveable and you can always keep pushing it, when your driving it you get a lot of feedback from it and feel 'part of the car' so to speak...

When i drove my B44 it was a very good car, smooth and quick... It just felt, boring and as if i wasnt really involved with it, not my cup of tea in all honesty...

Best thing to do is try them all out if you can then make your choice from your experiences with them

Thumbs up pred x11

hi tom.

well said mate. i've had a few 4wd cars but for me to the pred wins hand down.

i have found with the pred you can continue to get quiker and also get more aggressive along the way.

with other cars i.e xxx-4, b-44 i felt they would only allow me to push them so far.

i do get slated for being the only pred driver in my club but i do come-out on top most of the time, cant beat it when you prove em wrong!!!!

the 90% of the problems are the different of the surface where you drive your car....
i have drive: yokomo bc, bj4 w.e., pred and cat sx....and pred is not the better in a no-grip track, with very incredible jump, and bumps...i speake with time results in my hand....
i have drive for 3 years the car, but now i have open my eyes...
