Tenth Technology Predator XRS RBR F1

Tenth Technology Predator XRS RBR F1.
You can see in my 'related item' link the Pred X11 I used to have. I've highly regretted selling it now that I'm very much into vintage racing.

Nobody really competes in the modern 4WD class with Preds anymore. And production of the cars have stopped. So they've become much harder to find and more expensive. Not much on ebay, and the few that showed up went sky high in price.

So then I found the Facebook group called 'Predators Inside' - in which I made a post asking if anyone had one for sale. Then this gentleman from the UK sold me a great specimen for a good price.

I didn't need to do much to it apart from replacing a front and rear driveshaft that were bent.

Now I got inspired from Red Bull Racing F1's current flat blue paint on their F1 cars. And so I got the idea to do something entirely new - a semi transparent bodyshell so we can SEE the amazing 'tech' of these cars. So I used Tamiya blue smoke, and IMO it turned out well. The decals are F1 decals from ebay several years ago, and it's a mix of RBR and Toro Rosso livery.

Finally I recently raced the car in the Nordic Vintage Challenge series. And it turned out the fastest single laptime. Qualified 2nd and finished 2nd - not bad at all! :-)

Thx for watching and comments are always welcome!
