Predator XRS
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:thumbsup:! 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!:) |
id poss get a spur gear and a front gearbox top or upgrade the gearbox top for the x11 one { if this can be done } and a set of hubs

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 -1x gearbox top -1x set of derlin steering posts if you need part numbers let me know and ill fin them out, id say thats about it enough to get you going :thumbsup: any more questions, feel free to drop me a pm Tom |
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, Andy |

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.

apart from that though, the car was looking very good by the end of the day but sounding a little rough! it appears to be a big improvement over the X10, which is good. |
Thanks a lot guys! I appreciate the help you give me. Let's just hope I get the Pred!:) It really seems to be a nice car, I love it!
I'm not going to race seriously. I would if I had the opportunity but unfortunately here aren't any 1:10 electric buggy races in the Southern part of Finland. Just in the north and of course the Wasa Cross but that's all:(. So the car is mainly going to be used for racing with my friends and at the local club track. |

Not sure how you can put the drive disc's on the wrong way round, must have done the wheels up really tight to actually get any drive. Never had a problem with the x10 wheels:thumbsup: think they are plenty strong enough. Although I guess it does come down to what you hit with them.

orange X11 wheels are the coolest

Why do they continue to make a different fitment of wheels, pretty much every other car used the std losi/ae hex and pins.
:confused: |
To me the X10 / X11 wheel fitment looks far stronger than a losi or AE fitment as ive seen Losi wheels especially the fronts strip alot. Ive never heard of a predator wheel strip on the later cars with this fitment.. but could be wrong.
|
Because the offsets are different IIRC, so to make use of Losi style wheels would entail a complete suspension re-design, amongst other reasons.
|
I tried my X11 rear wheels on my X-6 and the off-set is alot, so if losi wheels was used it would be an opasite effect making the wheel base mega wide ?
