Here's my early carbon chassis Pred. I bought this a while ago and have been giving it a refurb.

I sanded and laquered the tub (and have missplaced the s/n sticker:cry:). I'm still missing a few parts, I have the rear wing, and it's in great shape, but the nosecone and front wing are trashed, and the rear pivot pins on the upper wishbone are makeshift for now, I'd be VERY interested to find the correct parts for this car!

Shelfdom awaits! :thumbsup:

They used to have a wall upstairs with loads of really old pred spares.

I have contacted team xtreme for spares for my 95 pro and they seam to recon they
have most bits in a container. I need the diff gears and front wing. But now looking at yours i might do a complete rebuild and clean it looks the tits

Thanks for that, emailed them on Friday, see if they can help out.

Have emailed them too! I want to get the car to a theoretical working state, but it's too pretty to run now. Plus the amount of work to get the tub looking like that was ridiculous! I sanded most of the scratches out, and filled the deeper ones with layers of clear laquer and then sanded and smoothed them all out with wet and dry. I have to say if you get down to the actual fibres, it's the devils own job to get any paint to take. Lots of "dry" coats later it had enough on it to polish up.

I was fortunate when I bought the car as it came with 3 new driveshafts, a full set of new wishbones, and both the one way and solid prop shafts. It also came with 2 different lower diff casings for the rear, one normal, the other with anti-squat geometry for the lower wishbones, which I'd not seen before.

the only other niggles at the moment are the 4 battery locator blocks, which i have, but that have stripped inside a bit, and the super short self tappers are missing, no big problem though.

my collection of prdes lol a 95 pro witch i am going to do a complete rebuild on, a x11-08 witch is an "b" team drivers car, then my new purchase from insidelineraceing, i am intresed in finding some more bits for the pro and also would like to get a xt too for the collection

From time to time I keep having a look at the preds on here and I think as soon as I get some spare cash im going to buy me one. There's just something about these cars that makes you want one.

Still after all these years the best looking RC car in my opinion. :thumbsup:

Yes the do look like nothing else out there!

Iv ordered another one to add to my collection of cars!

I think this will be my 6th Pred, 1x International, 1x Carbon tub Pred (wish I still had it!), 2 x X10, 2x X11's

Get one ordered up!

Wish id kept my x10 phil. It used to break regularly but when it was going it was amazing. I never broke mine like sam did though. He managed to snap the chassis clean in half on his x11

Regrets allways comes to late :bored:

btw best therapy is to never sell it

:thumbsup: yes of course.
