Default MOTONICA P81 FOR SALE PLUS HEAPS OF SPARES

I am selling my Motonica P81 1/8th scale on-road carand all of these spare parts (see attached photos). It was fully re-built before the Semi-final at the Australian titles at Moorebank in October, and as you can see, the body still has the no 1 on it as I qualified 5th (1st in the odd semi). I was leading that final until the heavens opened up and the race meeting was abandoned. I have not run the car since. There is a spare almost complete kit and tons of spare parts including a chassis, clutches pinions, spurs, etc etc. The car is in awesome condition and has an adjustable sway bar and alloy center pulley bracket as extras. I will throw in the body but the radio-gear is not included.

Total cost to me was way over $2,000 but I would like to get around $1350 ono. If you are interested or you know any one that might be, just pm me or post on this thread. I will post to anywhere in Australia for free - overseas shipping price quoted on request.
I have plenty of good condition engines and pipes which I can do a deal on as well.

Ric Bartolozzi
PS Price drop to $1200!

Hi people

I'm from the UK and was wondering about this awsome looking car. I have a Serpent 966 and was looking at converting it to brushless as I also have a Losi 8ight-e (running a 5s maxamps lipo) and love the power that brushless can produce. However, i'm not keen on the brushless upgrade kit for the 966 as it is limited to saddle packs maybe only 4 cell. The Motonica Electron series looks so much better as I could run with 6s lipo. The weight balance looks better too. Any info on this car including prices would be a great help.

Regards.

I don't know the exact battery dimensions as I am really not an electric guy, but according to Motonica, 'standard' market available batteries fit the various E cars.

http://motonica.blogspot.com/2010/02...tup-sheet.html

Hey Guys my last setup from Round 2 in my Club Championship - POS 2 and 1 point behind Postion 2 in Championship....

I must say there is some tuff competition in our club and great driver when they are all on fire, but sometimes luck can play in your favour.

I have updated my blog with a setup sheet that is worth a look at, but if you got low grip track like we do and non treated its always a challenge to get best setup on the day.

So far i havent changed much, just learnt to drive the car and getting better each time out.

Enjoy the new added photos & information
