First off, Team-Ard, truly impressive car, I hope mine will look so good one day!

In response to the post above. I have had the full spec Pred for almost a year now and I love it! Since I do live in the States I was a bit hesitant to go for the Pred but I am very glad I did. The car was not perfect when I fist started to run it simply becaus I had it set up all wrong. Yaninina at team xtreme and Kev Lee helped me sort the car out and after a few adjustments/mods the car has come to life. I actually ended up buying the Pred and a used Durango since I could not decide between the two and Durango parts were available in the States. After running both cars side to side for the last few months, I can honestly say the Pred is my favorite, it simply feels smoother and runs faster (this is based off my actual lap times)!

Now for the bad, running a Pred in the States is more expensive! With that said, not by much. Once you get the car set-up correctly things really do not break plus you can make some mods that will allow you to replace high wear parts with parts that are widely available in the U.S. The customer service from Team Xtreme can be frustrating since it seems to go hot and cold without warning, I believe this is simply because it is such a small company, you will get help even if you have to wait a little while for it. The true saving grace of the car in the service department is Kev Lee and his Insidelineracing company! Kev is extremely responsive and willing to help answer any questions you may have, he will even take pics of his car and send you directions on how to set things up, classy!

In the end, the Pred is an amazing car and one anyone would be honored to own.

Anyone want to buy a Dex 410!

Cheers,

Roger

I'd love to have one to tinker with just to look at and make mods for it in my head and maybe 1 or 2 might make it on to the car, lol
