Don't worry bro, you'll be seeing more then one there. You'll know who we are when we arrive, and you can come and check it all out in person. You will LOVE this thing man. I just can't explain how killer this car is in words. Let me get those pics up for starters and I will let you know who I am so you can check out my car and a few others at the Winter Nats! Later for now man.

We might be a bit over the top for some, but that's just our personality man. So with that said...MOTONICA ALL THE WAY BABY!!!! HELL YEAH!!!!!
this is why we are good friends, one from the states and mmwwwaa from good old down under....!

Well you guys just cost me a G. I'll have one shortly and hopefully my driving will pick up again to a level where I can participate in the winternats too since I'll be relocating to Tampa permanently in Jan.

Love at first sight with this car no doubt. I remember feeling the same way about the BMT when it first came out, but I was racing 1:8 off-road then and our 1:8 on-road track was no more. Last car was a PB Phoenix. Anyone remember that one??

ESWLFSE, (and of course all of Motonica boys)

Allow me to invite you to come down to Ft Myers on Jan, 12&13 to introduce you to one of the longest running On-road State Series in the country, the Florida State On-road Gas Series.Check out www.forgass.com

The January event is purposely run at the Fort to prepare for the 32nd Running of the Florida Winter Nats World Event. We have a large group from the Tampa area ... this might give you the opportunity to meet a few of the racers from that area ...Chuck Moon, Bobby Horan, Chris Tosolini, and Ashton Brinson to name a few ... Give it a try

Chris

Hey CFowler, thank you for the invetation. I will see what I can do to try and attend this event.
On another note, I mentioned that I would post some pics of the all great and mighty Motonica. Sorry for the delay everyone, but I am waiting for some parts and plan on doing a Photo Shoot of the car. Sort of a step by step thing and showing you the stock pieces that can be replaced be option parts, also explaining the details and reason you might want to go with the option parts. Some are quite obvious like less weight. And we all know that less rotating mass can spool up faster as well as lower the weight of the entire car. Speaking of weight, I will also be wieghing the stock parts compaired to the option parts to give you a better idea of what your going to be seeing. Usually strength is one of the reasons people get upgrades or option parts. This is true on the Motonica, however I have yet to break ANY piece that is also offered as an option part. I have managed to break about 4 or 5 different parts on the car. But I will not change my views that this is by far the most durable car on the market...by FAR!!! My driving has proven it. But the option parts do still have a purpose that I will explain when I do my photo shoot of the car. So hang tight everyone, I will come through as promised. Thanks for your patients everyone. Until then, take it easy guys. Later.

Darren you're not getting on with your bad self very well because this thread is stalling so bad I had to whip up an avatar. I think I now consumed every word ever posted in english on the web about the car so its up to you current owners to keep me fed until mine arrives!
