That car is incredible...
Many thanks to John Doukakis for helping me seting up my car, without him the car couldn't run..
The RB classico 9 has insane power with great top end and torque!
I run that race just to make sure that the car was assembled correct and just to break in the engine!
As kit it drives you crazy,but after that is insane beautiful!
I had some accidents for 1st run but was good enough. I broke the rear body post and i fitted the body post from MRX4. With some modifications is great.
I loved my car more thatn 1/10 Xray i will keep it up !! Thank you John.

sounds like your having FUN, well done staikosn1..... its a wonderful car and performs well with a great setup!

SO the RB good hey? Might have to try one of these engines out soon!


Well guys i havent posted much on here, but i am still holding 3rd position in the Club Championship, once again i have bettered my pb time from 18.4 to a new pb of 18.2..... This was done with a JP Modified 7port engine while my other Motonica mate had a Novarossi 35PLUS21 engine.... We both had a great start to Amain and was head to head for the first 5 mins!!!

I made a small mistake and he too the advantage to hold first while i sat in second for 12minutes of a 15min final and flipped the car onto roof to give away 2nd position and come home with a podium 3rd position.

Overal i have found a very very sweet spot in the car for our club track and i must thank the World Driver "Robin D'Hondt" as he gives me some awesome tips that he uses with his Motonica.
