What do you want to see? I haven't seen any videos but I have a Violator and a digital camera I could try to take a vid and drive at the same time!

The 9.5 and Violator are same thing except Violator is wider. Everything else is the same. So find some vid's of 9.5's and you will see how it goes and performs and junk alike.

If someone was willing to be a camera man for me, I'd shoot some video and post it. But need a camera man. I have all the gear.

The main difference is Violator is a bit wider and has bigger fuel tank.

There is an upgrade kit for any other 9.5 out there to make them same width and with same fuel tank if they people want.

Right now on Ebay you can get them under $399 american and that includes shipping.

im talkin about the violator...more displacment dosent always mean more power then a smaller displacment engine. Now the answer to my question...do you think the violator can handle the 24.7?

2.41 hp per Ofna website. I realize dispalcement doesn't equal HP. I am still sure that if you wanted to break in a new engine that it would be fine in the cold.

Funny _ I just broke in an FONA 9.5 - Has the Force .25 - Broke it in 30 degree weather. I recently broken in an OFNA Dominator with a Hyper 21 in 30 degree weather. If I waited for it to be warm, I would never get to run these bloody cars.

I think it is funny the myth's of running cars in cold weather. The main thing is in the cold, the bits on the car can be more brittle. After all they are just plastic.
