Default RE: Building an RC Bike from a toy

Finally managed to get out and have a test ride of this modified bike.

Wow, need to do some work to stabilise it, but it performed excellently.

The motor is not mad fast, but quick enough for a beginner.
This is my first proper try at controlling an RC bike (other than a Silverlit in the house).

Found that the rider came loose, so was not moving correctly, I need to put a longer screw through the servo arm, where it fastens to the bottom of the rider.

Also, when cornering, the front wheel gets all shaky?
May need to add a steering damper?
Or is it something else?

Had fun, will do some work on it this week, the look forward to the next test.

I do have some brief video, but its hard to film and control the bike at the same time....
Will post it later tonight.
