Dioblo Predator
Just got my Predator. Can someone tell me what should be in the Box. I got the Predator with Manual and a Sticker. The reason I ask is because on one on the other post about the Predator they talk about updates. How do I update my predator? What cable for my PC do i need. Con someone explain this to me. Thanks

That is all that it comes with. You have to buy the powercabel and serial cable from radio shack for $30.00 if you go to motor haven.com there are complete instructions there or you could call them they are a sponsor on this sight also look at the sticky forum at the top it has part numbers for radio shack. hope this helps Jerry.

From: Enjoying the real world.
See http://www.motorhaven.com/predator.htm for complete upgrade instructions, including cable type and the files need to upgrade it. All Predators shipped by us have the upgrades applied.

FYI, Diablo raised the MAP (minimum advertised price) on us this week. Call us on Monday and we can give you a better deal over the phone.
