TTech Racing release details about X11

Tenth Technology X11

Some time ago we told you wrote about the fact that TTech Racing, the makers of the cool looking X10, had been bought by Xtreme-RC. Well now we see the first fruits of that new arrangement with the announcement that the X11 4wd electric buggy, the follow up to the X10, will be released at the end of April. The list of new features was published on the companies site and from what we have read the new cars looks to have better durability, performance and should look great too.

Axial range of tools

Axial range of tools

Axial have given RC Car Action the scoop on their new set of tools, and we havent been given much more information than that, except that they are available in a wide range of tips, and those tips are replaceable, and from the picture we can see that the larger sizes are available also with ball tips. The handles use some beefy screw driver handles that look grippy and comfortable and sport a colour coded tip mount, although i personally still prefer the Hudy method of tool size recognition.
