I will post more info soon.
YR4 Dude: The Motonica P81 was introduced in 2009. Locally, the P81 has won the Kamikaze and Cancer Benefit races, and yesterday 3rd at the regionals. Internationally, the car took 2nd at the 2010 Euro's and has won several national titles. The car is very good and solid. The RS is an update on the P81, not a whole new car. Most of the items shown in the photos (look at the one showing all the misc 'new' parts) are either aluminum versions or replacements of the stock plastic parts or existing parts with and without cosmetic changes. The only 'changes' to the car are the shocks and shock towers, and the pivoting radio tray. The car is just as durable as before (if not more) and should be even quicker on the track. Racers have the option of starting with the standard kit (which happens to be the lowest priced 1/8 on road car on the market) and upgrading to the RS parts as they go along or just start with the RS kit outright.
