Josh Cyrul is out of Motonica and now joins Shepherd Racing Team. What a move and we may say a pretty good choice too.
This is a video Motonica at Nuremberg 2009 Toy Fair, Germany we found at Motonica website.
Enjoy it as we do!
Josh Cyrul is out of Motonica! What a shocker! He has been winning here and there using the 1/8th Motonica P8.08R car, a multiple US champions in many categories and now this. What a shocker. He said, it is all about there is no agreement for the continuation in 2009. Sigh.
Serpent has come up with this Serpent 966 Conversion Set for the Serpent 960 kit. The conversion set includes the chassis plate, aluminium rear end, carbon parts and new brake system. The conversion set also includes a full set of 170 high quality steel Allen Screws for the whole car and a few new bearings. The upgrade can be used with either OS1 or OS2 type rear suspension parts.
Chassis Plate
966 chassisplate made of american aerospace quality aluminium 7075 T6. Precison CNC machined with chamfered edges to prevent touching when cornering, countersunk holes to seat the steel allen screws, shaped cooling pocket below the engine, positioning holes for the engine-mount screws, positioning holes for the steel pins to hold the alu rear end brackets, recessed area for the carbon fibre battery-plate, and a recessed area to fit the optional brass front plate for stiffness and weight or the carbon fibre insert for additional stiffness. Serpent laser-logo.
Main rear brackets
Anodized, cnc machined, aluminum main rear axle supports with coated alu eccenters; more rigid, better rear axle support for a very true running rear shaft, easy belt-tensioning, easy access for maintenance. With the eccenters you can choose 3 positions for rear- belt tensioning. By removing the eccenter on one side the rear shaft with pulley and belt can be accessed very easily. Main rear supports are machined maximum to reduced weight, but retain rigidness at the same time. Pins are pre-pressed into the bottom of the brackets which then seat into the positioning holes in the chassis. Precise and secure.
