Terrible way for the Predator legacy to fizzle out of existence with nothing more than a weak whimper....
Actually you know those firecrackers that don't go off, just sit there, slightly fiz and then a little puff of smoke. That. Or letting go of a blown up balloon! Thats what this reminds me of |

I would guess that is up to them, might of had to be liquidated if they had outstanding debt, they may just be sat on it.

I offered to buy any stock left in part or in whole from them. Officially, through my company, or for cash.
Never even had a reply back. Hey ho. |

Seems that Predator is just plagued with dumb owners..... If you can't/don't want to/failed to make a go of it, let someone else do it.

Somebody must know the owner? What about kev Lee? Ask what happened? And why won't they sell the pred to someone else? Never had problems with orders. But I wish someone would take over and do right with this car already.

I tried to buy the rights, stock etc but kept hitting a brick wall. Seems total business sense evaded them at all times. Even when shutting doors they wanted top whack (or someone to lend them £40k for a new CBC machine!). Clueless.
It could have carried on...

Doubt it .... They still wanted big money for the name and rights, even thoughts it's not really a commercially viable product as is IMHO.
There's stuff in a shed somewhere in Kent...

Reverse engineering would give them a quick and easy window for copyright i reckon... Better to let it sink down into the depths... Im not sure of the issues when the government or liquidator steps in but do you lose intellectual rights and the whole deal? What happens to the product if it is removed from someones ownership?
I wonder? whats big money for the name and rights? Last edited by Ron Burgundy; 29-09-2014 at 06:42 PM. Reason: A thought |

No copyright unless it's registered. Not sure there is much people can do in the RC buggy world.
