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.

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.
