Smile Tenth Technology Predator XT customize

I got original Predator XT last year. Her first owner is probably a member of oople.com. My friend in UK who gave her to me, told me that she was a team car.
So I decided to make her to race again.



New front nose for Predi made with machined MC Nylon.



Made new parts with CNC, and anodized with gold color similar with original motor mount.



New battery strap for shorty battery. Made with 3t 3k twill weave carbon plate and 6061 aluminum.



Aluminum mould for new wing.



New rear wing after paint and assembled.



Bottom side of the new wing.



New front wing after paint. Not assembled perfectly yet in this picture.
T.Tech logo is also painted after masking because I don't have decals.



Left side of this picture is new "Wing mount" made with MC nylon. I made these to protect original parts.



New steering linkage. Original one is just a 2mm steel rod.
This new one is made by 4mm stainless steel.



New Aluminum front knuckles.



Fitted perfectly!



Chassis complete.



Inner side.



New rear wing and mount.



New front wing and front nose.



Made a new body.

Only one body shell was succeed. Unfortunately body mould was broken.



New body coloring.

I painted it with only two Tamiya PS sprays ( black and gold ) after 4 hours masking.



This is the final result.
Background of this picture is YRC (Yongin Real Circuit) in South Korea.

This picture was taken on 25th April 2015, the 'Korea Old buggy championship'.

I was promoted to 'A-main' first time by her favor, but the total result is not good.
It because my poor driving skill and the original wheels and drive gears were too weaken.

I will upgrade her until the next race in September.

Amazing! Fantastic work on all the bespoke parts! Great to see such a rare car being brought back to life (& so far away from its birthplace)
