I put together a lightweight mod with a Predator motor for the Showdown.
I built a "lighter than usual" brass rod chassis" for the Predator.
Used a 10 tooth pinion & 29 tooth crown gear to try & get
some torque from the Predator. It works out to the almost the same
overall ratio as the standard 9:27.
Pro-Track wheels with PGT urethanes on the rear & foams on the front to save a little weight.
Parma gears & guide with Big Mama braid.
I used a Vega Notchback casting, added a resin nose piece, a few pieces of styrene & some Bondo.
Headers & roll cage are 3/64 styrene rod.
Painted with Ace Hardware orange enamel rattle can over Ace Hardware white primer.
Home printed graphics on pressure adhesive vinyl. Finished with one coat of floor polish.
The whole piece weighs in at 73 grams. Runs pretty good on my small wood oval without any ballast so far.
I plan to leave this car behind after the Showdown & let Harry auction it as a fundraiser for HRW.
