Mark, Neil Crags old ' Evil Knievel ' paint scheme suited the car nicely, try that... cant lay a hand on a picture of it atm but will see if i can find one. He also used it on his B3.

Thumbs up schemes and results

A friend of mine has done a basic website for me to start with, to do a TTech website, especially of the early stuff and on road stuff too. I still need to get this underway.

The colour schemes of the top drivers sometimes transferred with them from team to team, Kevin's, Richmond's and William's scheme's were also seen on their earlier and later cars. Mostly what I have are from magazines.

Tony's brillaint pics here are great, I'm guessing this is Kevin's Predator International from January 1996 ? I don't recall a report from that meeting so they're nice pics to see!

Predators won all the BRCA 4WD National titles from 1994 to 2001 except 1995. Of those, the scores were Neil Cragg 3, Kevin Moore 2, William Mitcham 1, Jamie Booth 1.

From memory I believe Derek Furitani won the ROAR or NORRCA? Nationals in 1996 ? (The equivalent in America to our 4WD National title) however I think , unlike ours , it was a one off event.

Why did it win? because it was a brilliant design, easy to work on and maintain like a full size racecar & supreme talent behind the stick or wheel radio.

From 2002 to present I don't have so much info, Kevin Lee gave the car a win in 2010 with the Team Xtreme Predator X11'08 proving the cars still got it ! I'm hoping to fill in the gaps with the results of Paul Robinson's BRCA results and the few that stuck it out until TTech returned in 2006 with Tom Yardy.

It's just got something the other's haven't and the earliest cars are just amazing looking

As far as i know it was... i bought it off his dad and never painted my own scheme apart from a full black one i think i had a cragg original shell too but lost that ages ago

Stuart, if you wanted it, you can own it again. I'm going to put it up for sale. As i don't get much chance to race any more.
