XLT or CS2-MX on the beach?

[dan1993]

which would be better to use on the beach? i hear Xlt's arent so great but out of the two it is a far superior machine, any help appreciated! cheers

There maybe a program out there that will work with the xlt on the beach but as far as wet sand goes i dont think either will be much good any machine will work on dry sand but get on the wet sand and it gets much more tricky given the choice id go xlt but if your only doing beaches maybe look for summat else

Do a search for XLT on you tube. A lot of Americans use them on the beach, Hth.

Hey Dan ...Why not do a review on both and then post it on here so that people that are new to this hobby can read up on them...I would be interested in your findings M8

This was the XLT programme I use to have set up for beaches. Just remember if you GB on dry sand then stay on dry, same for the wet sand, GB on wet stay on wet.

Always held its own with these settings but you may need to tweak it for the type of beach your searching..
