It has everything you need in terms of firing modes and customization. You honestly can't go wrong with it. And if you buy it direct from Predator it's been upgraded to the 10.0 code or the 'Ghost' code.
I bought a brand new board for $40 and it came with a free membrane pad as well. It's a sick deal and the board works awesome. You just have to remember to turn registers 16 and 17 off or the board just shoots out of control like it's bouncing. You should get a note with the board that reminds you though if you buy it. I really recommend it especially with such a cheap price but it's such a good board.

Its a great product, but the customer service from my experience was terrible. I sent my board in with a couple led's not flashing, and I get it back unfixed, and in worse condition than b4.
First off my dwell would not run as low as I had it working on b4, in fact it was an alias board and it required a whole 4ms higher than b4, or it wouldnt even cycle. The led as I said never got fixed because the board sat in thier possesion for 1 1/2 weeks, andI was told it would be fixed right away, but that ended up not being the case.

They also tried sending me someone elses board who plugged the batt wire into the eye harness which fried the board, but I managed to convince them to send me my board, which ended up getting lost, so they were just going to give me a non functional board rather than telling me the truth. They supposably found the board after I sent a biggilion emails, and messages via live support on thier website.

But nevertheless I ahve got to say the pred board is smong my fav for having so much adjustability.

If you're looking for a project board, try looking into a Nox Unleashed board. They're tiny, the code and support is top notch

I liked my Predator 5.0 board when I had it, but I had some "issues" with it as well. I had a crank up the debounce, it was possible to fry it by plugging things in backwards, etc.
