Here are the first images of the all new Motonica P10 1/10th scale 200mm chassis. Shown for the first time on Sunday during the 1/8th scale EFRA GP in Cassino, the guys at Automodel.net got to take some photos as well as a video of the car being presented. The pictures, while not showing a completed production car do allow us to see what the car has in store, such as the low centre of gravity and very low drive train, while seemingly staying away from the very stylized look that the 1/8th scale cars have.

With Steve O’Donnell’s name on these tools, modelers are assured of quality and performance. Heat-treated stainless steel tips are precision ground for proper fit, while extra-long shanks are stepped for strength and permit easier access to hard-to-reach fasteners. Comfortable, molded handles won’t roll around on pit tables and the bright orange color lets modelers know exactly where to find their tools when they put them down. Available in a wide range of sizes and types, the tip size is conveniently laser-etched into the anodized handle inserts for easy identification.
