BLITZ R09 - PrePainted via RC-MUSHROOM.COM

Hi Guys,

After having some more testing at my Club Championship, the Zytec Shark Fin was GOOD but not as good as the Blitz R09, for some reason i find the Blitz body a much more stable body for the Motonica. I dont mind the Zytec but i feel its more forgiving at times and you have to really fight to keep it pointing in the right direction. Well since i love PINK, www.rc-mushroom.com have pre-painted body shells that look Awesome if your lazy like me. Here is another Body i painted, but the only part i painted was the PINK, the Green/Blue flames had already been done and makes the job rather easy to finish off.

Also another new change in the car was the NEW GRP tyres, keep in mind that you will need to change the rear end track width as you gain extra 3mm tyre width each end of the car, So wider tyres more grip faster times - HAPPI HAPPI

Recently in the last few months my times have gone from 18.4 per lap down to a PB of 17.4 - so things are working good and Holding onto 3rd in the Club Championship.




Keeping in touch

Motonica P81 - SETUP SHEET

Hello Motonica FANS

I thought id post some new information on my blog, been a while since i got into some more tips etc etc... The biggest help i have had is from Driver Robin D'Hondt he has been so good in helpping me improve my car to achieve my personal best laptime of 18.5

Here is a link to my setup which got me my pb of 18.5 Setup Sheet Littlehampton South Australia

The setup is great for on power steering for some weird reason running very hard front and rear swaybar and the new position of the Blitz R09 body 25mm forward measured from the centre of the bumper gave my car very good on power turn in, the only issue i had was sometimes car tend to push / understeer in tight corners.

Below is come photos of my new improved setup - yet to be tested but will post the setup sheet very soon....

In the meantime please enjoy the new setup photos that i have provided:

Before i used WHITE mugen springs / Will try Silver Motnica if too much loss of grip i will go back to the White Mugen softer spring...

New Added Novarossi 2015 Exhaust Pipe - Also using a 6fin medium conical manifold

Removed the Carbon front top deck stiffners for possible more added steering in tight 180 degrees corner. I used some nice Titanium screws to fill the black holes.

Normally i run the front top arm cradle 2mm shims up front towards the car, this time ill test Robin D'Hondt's technique shims 2mm on the back so the cradle tilts downwards as shown in the diagram.

Top showing removal of the carbon top deck stiffners No.2 - this will rob you of steering. Also ackerman is still the same as previouse up front holes, but on the top deck, move the shaft back towards the car to add more steering.

Below on the bottom arms front, shim large single or 2 shims up front of the car, make sure also no binding is on lower arm pins, must be free movement at all times. Best way to check is remove shocks and test for equal movement on both arms.

Notice the Swaybar position 90 degrees upright, very hard setting worth a test, if too much understeer back the blade 45/65 degrees

New Novaross1 2015 Exhaust Pipe 0n Car, soon ready for another Round in Championship... Stay tuned for results in future.

another angle of the front of the car... i really love this car, its like a FERRARI Italian Quality!
