Just my opinion.
Not their own parts, different chassis maybe. That's not original is it? Also have you ever agreed with us Ben?

The using of anouther compays parts / drivetrain and alike seems to be abit of a waste maybe the effort and time that goes into making the chasis and awsome carbon fibre products maybe in time we might see a full car from atomic carbon or anyother growing brands that are getting bigger all the time like X-Factory maybe too would be ace. But on the downside it costs an arm and a leg.

I think this situation of people jumping in threads, just to give a comment which is completely unessessary and not needed is getting out of hand, especially in the xtreme area.

I'd appreciate if people would cool it before further action is taken as i've seen nothing but complaints all week surrounding this topic.

Back on topic to the original thread please.

Thanks Paul
I was getting annoyed reading all this yes-no crap


Tobbe, please let me know if you're intrested in an XRS car.
I have one with some spares and X10 rockers.
It has run 1 training and 1 race.


Yanina, did you look at my comments in my email from yesterday?

Co- team drivers, I've burned my fingers on my soldering iron so pic's from my car will be for tomorrow héhéhéhé...

why so defensive of the x11?? i know they have had probs in the past (weak gears ect) but thats been addressed. the x11 isnt anything "new" as such but an evolution of many years of perserverence. i still own an old p8 which i think is fantastic, reliable (ran same gears for a full season n still in good nick) i think ppl will slate the x11 and drivers on its previous cars reputation but i dont think its a good idea to rise to it verbally. jus get it on the track n let this car speak for its self!! Btw i was accepted as a trade team driver like all the rest of team xtreme but now decided to back down, stick with me p8, n modify that (like a true pred driver used to) and maybe delve into something else where its not so petty. maybe 1/8 truggy at club level............yes that right ppl club level.

I got the car yesterday and damn it looks nice! But it need some new parts to get driveable like a front gearbox top, some front wheels (I just got 7 rear wheels), rear wing mount, some screws and diff balls and maybe a new outdrive because the former owner had tighten the diff to hard so the diff screw had broken and got stuck inside the outdrive and it's impossible to get it out without ruining the outdrive. But for 60€ I'm happy with the car. I got an extra set of arms, front & rear hubs and some other stuff.

For the diff, would these balls fit?

Jaad Racing 3mm Diff Ball Set
The original ones are 1/8 inch so it's just a 0.1mm difference, is it too much? And the optional ceramic one cost a lot more than these...

id stick with the team xtreme diff balls myself, if you buy those and they dont fit, its money wasted... for your wing mounts, buy the X11 ones, much stronger!

hope you get it running soon!!!

Thanks but no thanks. I've already ordered some chrome diff balls for my Pred. Still need some screws, front gearbox top and a wing mount to finish it
