Default EBOR team

Big well done to the EBOR24 team members, and big thanks to Lewis, Nathan & Graham for making the long trip up from the South.

Special thanks to Lewis, without the direct support of a 'Factory Car' it would not have been possible.


There will be an oOple report on the event coming up, be warned as it may not be pretty!

was an awsome display for us and id like to thank lewis for the car, tekin for the motor and speedo and track power for the lipos, all performed faultlessly dispite our best efforts to kill them all. as a team the result wasnt important (although a win would of been nice) it was more to prove to the doubters that the pred is now reliable in all hands. we had a great team there with a variaty of experience and talent from F1 to F4 who all abused the car in there own way for the full time, and what did we break or change ?????

1 rear upper rear wishbone (well done sammy the seal)
1 ball joint (with assistence from jimmy the super marshall)
3 pairs of rear bud caps (changed as a preventative measure)
12 sets of tyres
4 packs of track powers (only changed when flat)

after inspection, to get the car back to a normal raceable condition

2 diff rebuild kits
pack of bud caps
change the shock oil (well it did do the full 24 hours )
screw check

wonder what every one else went through (mechanical and electrical)

long gone are the days of a pred struggling to last a 5 min run

Like you have pointed out Nath about people's doubts on the stregnth and relyabilty of the Predator, This has now shown that the car IS strong and DOESNT break easy and can last a full 24 hours of hammering !

Am i right in beleiving that it didnt have any modifacations on it? - Just basically as it comes in the kit?

Yeah as everyone else has said, massive thanks to Lewis for the car and electrics and his support over the 24hours. Really enjoyed the meeting.

Yeah Garry, it was a standard x11-08. The only modification being so it could take a lipo stick pack.

Had a new set of shafts ready to go on, (quicker than changing just the buds), then changed the ones off the car for the next change.

You do have the tightest team manager in the world though.

I think we went through 27 sets of rears give or take a couple. and maybe 10 pair of fronts.

Well done to Xtreme, i was impressed, as everyone was how well the pred stood up to the task.
