Default TEAM EXTREME "OUT OF USE"

Do not bother trying to call them as the phone is cut off and they never reply their emails.
be very careful ordering any parts as the have taken my money and only supplied two of the three items and as they refuse to answer any communication all I can deduce it that they are no longer trading

They were shocking back in 2009, often taking a few weeks to get parts out. I don't think they ever got their act together by the looks of things.

A shame really as the pred was an iconic car and was a real weapon when running right and set up correctly.

many people have a lot of money spent on a vega

and now you can not even get parts very sad

if you have a shock tower broken then you have a problem

I still have a little hope that they reply to my mail

Yes they are shocking. I ordered some parts on 23 December, had 1 reply to several emails, and the items still haven't arrived. Think I can kiss my money goodbye. It's a shame as the Vegas are great cars.

Well, in my opinion mine are 'Priceless'.
Managed to get buy a Vega RB6 from a local racer friend so now have shock tower, wing mounts and a spare chassis to keep me going till I get fed up with it. However, I am loving driving it, wet or dry conditions at the moment, so reckon I will be wearing a smile for a while yet.
I am sure there must be other wing mounts that will fit, and shock towers can be made by Fibre Lyte I am told, so should be safe for some time.
I suppose there is always the possibility that Team Extreme will re-surface.
Such a shame as their products are superb. In the meantime I will remain positive and happy that I have mine.

I hope every one receives what they have ordered

I would also be interested in relaunching the Pred. I am not sure what deal was done with TE, could just be a licensing deal or maybe they purchased all the IP...

If anyone knows please PM me.

I have thought about it but really what is there left to say

I wish you all the very best of luck. Its so sad the Predator legacy ended with nothing more than a whimper. Like a balloon losing its air... Make that sound bthhhllllllllllllllll..... I was a huge fan of the mighty pred

I would speak with trading standards and see what they say.

Can you not claim the money back off your card?

Might be good to take it off oople or at least put a warning next to their name.

Sad times!

Very strange all this, friend of mine who races a pred ordered parts last week and received them very quickly no problems at all .

I'm very puzzled, I suspect they are keeping the web site going to clear stock they have,(or in some case don't have:thumb down
