Will, you worked for them, didn't you?
Any inside info for these people who would like to try to resurrect the brand?

IMO , and I'm just a silly Yank who also was a huge fan of the predator, a company like Xfactory could benefit from something like this.

In the traditional sense it already makes Mid motor cars and has been at the forefront of the mid design. In addition they have the distribution covered in the UK and US. I understand they have a 4wd I n development as well as the new X6.3.

IMO Xfactory is the closest company that would mirror the original essence of Ttech and Xtreme had in mind. If it wasn't so difficult to get them in the states you could bet I'd rock one esp since a couple of tracks here are carpet.

There is a Facebook page currently live and being run by Laurent Le Bruno. Yanina (team extreme) is a member of that group and is offering to supply parts for the Predator. Hm if we contact her via Facebook message....Apparently, they know their website has issues which they are currently working on....

Obviously they still have the stock and are still looking to sell it.

So they treat everyone like garbage, absolutely no contact with anyone or in any form, then they try to weasle in on a fan page and try sell some stuff? Very underhanded and very sneaky. I am in total dismay at the conduct of these people.. Seriously

Its a fan page for the car, NOT "teamxtreme".. Dont ruin that too...

Reminds me of an apprentice we once had two nicknames for: Sexy hands and Passion fingers, why you ask?

Because he f#%ked everything he touched

So if the part/parts are out of stock or conversion kit/kits are out of stock how do you order. Or is it just to sell what stock they have. I think it needs something official on this from either Team Xtreme or someone as people have been let down previous. Have the people who were waiting for stuff previous had it now or are they still waiting ????

Really good news that you can order from the online shop.

All companies have hard times and its times like that when we should stick by them.

Long live the pred !!!!

Really?
What's the first thing we tell every single person who asks the same question every week about starting racing again?
Buy a car that has good parts support, not from one with erratic (at best) customer service and disappears for months without word to any loyal customers.

What a disgrace. Now all the dust has settled of them going under and ripping people off they're back! They quickly forgot about all the people who paid for stuff and never received anything. Seeing them skulking out of the woodwork to make a few quid on the quiet now is frustrating.

Indeed, without any explanations on why orders never arrived, their e-mail went unanswered, phone was dead etc....
Just a facebook message saying orders can be placed agian....
Hope the ppl who have ordered all get their stuff this time.

Don't get carried away thinking the predator still lives, they aren't in 'business'. all this is them making a tax free lump offloading the parts they have left.
