Does anybody know anything about the mantua intrepid? anybody have one of these cars?

I find it the most appealing to look at out of all the pans Very classic.

The BPR2 is also a beauty if you like the aluminium classic look.

Excellent! thank you.

I am very tempted by the mantua car. It looks quite robust. There is also a carbon version, but i would rather have the ergal aluminum version.

Is there any clubs or anybody in the austin TX area with these 2wd pan cars? I'm enthusiastic about this class of cars. I have given up my hobby of motorcycles, so i would like to start model car racing with these classics.

Nice looking car, the problem is getting parts support and a way to get it here without spending 500 to $600. Several of us went with the Motonica P8C because of the price and availablility (its already imported by Motonica USA).

There used to be a track in Austin. Check this web site for the SW series.

They can point you in the right direction.

Hello,

other information about Mantua INTREPID on this website :

rcbazar.net/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1180

Just as an information, but you know that I'm sure, for spare parts, with an aluminium on carbon made pan car, you don't need a lot of compare to plastic of course.

Enjoy

Aluminum will bend, but you have a good point.

Also this one is very nice :

brx4racingteam.com/brx4_red_ball_light.html

I've got one and its fast, reliable and solid; believe me ! For 6 years now, except tyres, engine, servos, the only spare parts I need to have for the car itself : axis for steering, belt and bearing.

Of course it's more expensive to buy but after...no comparaison with plastic cars !

Nice looking car! I could be pursuaded to get into one of these if there was a local class.

Cool Motonica P8C the only one...

Well considering Montonica is the only one importing a pan car, and has parts at a reasonble price you will see plenty of plastic, carbon and alloy cars at the tracks when they start showing up to race.

You might want to mail DXF directly. I am sure they can give you some advice about the clutch.

With the old cars like the SG Futura, associated rc1 - rc300bd etc etc the motorpinion directly drives the spur that is attached to the axle. (Like modern 1:10 pan cars)

Is there a company/privateer that still makes those classic spurs or is there a substitute for it?
