Very nice Score! That's an original Composite Craft Predator that you have there! The chassis is drilled for the Predator Lynx since during the life of the Predator, Composite Craft, later on, sold Predator kits with the main chassis pre-drilled for the original Lynx/upgrade prior/during full release of the Lynx and also sold upgrade kits (w/Delta shocks/mounts/new lower rear graphite plate) separately, to update Predator's to Lynx. The original release of the Lynx, used the same box as the predator and just stamped them with Lynx....as GoMachV says! In your photos I think I see the full graphite T-Bar...this is specific to the Predator. The Lynx did not have the OG style T-Bar. Simple other way to know = if your kit does not have two Delta mini-shocks and 4 rear tie rods, your kit is an OG Predator with a chassis pre-drilled for a later possible upgrade to a Lynx....and that's my guess based on the photos. And yes....the change from aluminum rear pod pcs. to the black plastic/delrin pcs. was part of the transition during this time too....for the steering blocks I've seen kits with the associated 12e/i/L blocks....they turned to black and used TRC once CC/TRC LynxII came about I think....if you look close in my profile pic, I used RC-10 steering blocks on a Lynx way back when...
Very nice history there....something to be treasured! Bob "Bullet" Light won the very first two on-road U.S. Championships with a CC Predator Lynx. Photos of my Lynx added for reference (w/thanks to RC10resto).
