how many people still run predators

manic · #1 25-02-2013

just wondering how many people still run predators.
i know a lot have moved to other xars due to lack of development and progresion. all other manufacturers have moved forward with new cars or development and the pred has been left behind.
how many people would be intresred in upgrade parts.
if team extream arent intrested in furthering the car would they sell the rights to it . or would a seporate compay who specialise in developing parts to make it better.
i have few ideas on components and changes but team extream dont answer the phone. so might go at this alone and see what happens
so this is just basicly a "who would be intrested" in parts or am i flogging a dead horse and every one moved on and R.I.P to the pred

i will drive only pred...

would be nice to see upgrade from trishbits, or other...but this is only a dream.

I would love to run a X11 instead of my durango.
but there are two problems one is money (it costs a lot to start of with), and seconly the parts availability is not so good as you can only get them at team xtreme and if they don't answer the phone or respond to E mails you'r stuffed.
I for one have to wait for the postman to deliver the parts (if I get the order through) anywhere up to 2 weeks. In my opinion it would be quite difficult to run a competitive car with these limitations. the only way I can see ,sort of having an importer here in my country, is to order two kits , one for parts.
now that's an expensive way of going racing.

Steeve on here is still racing his X11 and it went very well indeed at Off road wars this weekend.

Team No Idea run a X11 and there were also 2/3 in the lower finals at Off road wars meeting from some of the local club drivers.

Hey all
I've been trying to get Jimmy to fix the X11 review for a few weeks now, at first he responded saying something about PHP code needing to be sorted and that he would take care of it (I wouldn't know the first thing about that), but so far I can't read the damn review. maybe you guys can PM him to fix it...

Pred is the best looking 4wd car ever

I have an "international" with the carbon tub and Kevin Moore paintjob and it's one of my pride and joys... I hope the legend lives on for a while

Isnt that or wasnt that car previously owned by the euro guy, his name escapes me but it was the main front page photo for the-pred.co.uk!
A largw amount of work went into that car. Or unless its just the body.

. but has good skills and said he could do it.

Ron Burgundy · #20 13-03-2013

Well done on a good copy whoever painted it!
