how many people still run predators
 
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...

Martin Wallace 04-03-2013 01:05 AM

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 :)

I have a predator x10 for off road, and have just got a tenth tech streetwise to run with the tc's at my local club. theres a few people excited to see it run

Ron Burgundy 07-03-2013 07:30 PM

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.

Ron Burgundy 07-03-2013 07:34 PM

I just checked again and yep, David Caradec owned the car (or body) and its still on the-pred.co.uk see the link http://www.the-pred.co.uk/coppermine...ls.php?album=2

Good purchase! (If its the car of course haha)

Mr Satchell 08-03-2013 05:15 PM

Does anybody have a x11 for sale. Or does anybody no someone who has one for sale

burgie 09-03-2013 10:26 PM

Its not davids car or his shell.

car was bought by me and shell was painted as a replica by a friend who isnt a known painter around the scene :). but has good skills and said he could do it.

Ron Burgundy 13-03-2013 02:33 PM

Well there you go, as I said, if it is the car...

Well done on a good copy whoever painted it!

Lowie 08-04-2013 10:21 PM

ran and raced a pred for several years.
It will always have a special place in my memories. Not the easiest car to get used to but it was wurth it ...

I simply stopped because I was GUTTEd by the poor, miserable support from Tean Xtreme. (promises that weren't kept, parts-availability, ...)
A real shame.:mad::mad::mad:

and God knows (sorry big fella up there) that I am/was not the only, first one with these issues!

If another manufactor would take over the Pred, I seriously would be able to sell all my other cars and buy me a Pred again.

buggy#0 09-04-2013 06:12 PM

I have bought myself an X10, and will be running it at club level 4wd. Very excited.

MAXI33 25-04-2013 10:51 PM

I have a X10 with a big lot of parts and i run at the races of my local club for the pleasure to drive a pred !

darryl 03-05-2013 07:40 AM

ive had predators for yrs started with an xk5, at the moment i have an incomplete xk98 just needs front and rear wing and recently purchased another x10 so have two of them now

vomBerg 22-05-2013 11:57 AM

I also running a Predator X10 with some X11 upgrades, GM Genius ESC and motor.
In my opinion she´s still the best looking car out there...

muppet 30-05-2013 06:36 AM

I bought an x11 off eBay , it came with an x10 which had been broken up to provide spares for the x11, so I've rebuilt the x10 and will be running it at club level ( I've nicknamed it the junkyard dog , as it really was in a state !! ) , I think you guys maybe alittle unfair to team extreme , I've ordered parts online using PayPal and there here the next day !! I guess some of you guys are Americans and I can understand how waiting for airmailed parts can be frustrating !!

I'll post pics up later

i've got a x11 '08 but i don't use it any more,too much broken diff screws ,not easy to set up and to maintain and parts are expensive , now it's a shelf queen (fitted with plenty of new parts:thumbsup:)

burgie 24-09-2013 07:20 PM

Will be using mine again - it has been stood for a while - since my youngest, Jim, snapped it in half at the srcc oople round!

Prior to that, Jim had been running it regularly at southport and he also used it at the Belgian gp.

They are still competitive cars and can hold their own against some newer cars, especially if a shorty lipo is used and the l-r balance of the car matched.
