Normally I am the last guy to jump on the new class bandwagon (or return of an old class) but these things look pretty cool. I would not mind trying one out.

My Motonica Classic arrived this morning. Thanks Garen. I may bring it with me to the Nationals so racers can take a closer look.

So how much does that car run? And how does it drive?
I think a simpler/cheaper 2wd 1/8 on-road racer would be way cool. I'm a "GT Guy" looking to get into something more but don't want to ante up for the standard Mugen/Kyosho/Serpent offering of cars. I'm also not ready for their capability yet.
This type of car seems like a great transition class.
Anybody else who has info and experience with one of these "modern" 2wd 1/8 on-road cars please post up.

I don't know how the racing is out there in Cali but from what I have seen at 301 some of the top GT guys should have no problem moving to 1/8th if they choose. Still, I kind of agree this could be a cool class if you could get enough people to run it.

........Motonica has their "classic" 1/8 car......although i'm not sure if it's available anywhere in the U.S...........Maybe Cyrul would know........I have been collecting old 1/8 Associated cars from Ebay........I currently am putting together an old RC250 and am going to put a Porsche 917 on it (painted with the Gulf scheme).got the the body from www.historicrc.com Just recently there have been some more 2WD Team Associated RC500's on Ebay..........As the guys have said 2WD is DEAD........I bought them just to play with as i have enough trouble finding enough time to keep a current 1/8 running.....There is also a guy in France ( i believe) who produces 2WD pan-cars to this day.......Red Ball i think they're called........I also wish 2WD would return in addition to 4WD 1/8........
I have a BMT 95R that I am looking to sell, any interest in this car. PM me if you are. I also have a HPI Proceed and Serpent Vector for sale too.
Thanks,
Steve

I have not driven one of these or any 1/8th 2wd; the last 2wd car I drove was a Serpent Impact, but those were quite different than the Motonica 2wd and other 1/8th 2wd cars. With 2wd you won't need a powerful (expensive) motor, tires will last longer, run times will be longer, and due to the simplicity of the design, you won't spend as much money on parts.
