RE: SIG Tri Star
Mr. Mugen: (old Honder rider)
That thing is just begging for a good electric setup. Would not worry about getting the right gear for it, just find a motor equal to the planes weight in thrust. As a old two wheel mx'r (really old) its fun to see someone from around the same background into enjoying RC. My last Honda was a 82 450 that stalled every time you braked hard even with the aftermarket flywheel. Sold it cheep after going down while leading a race at Spillway Park (deep sand), watched all the guys pass me before I could get the thing fired up again. Was fast though! Enjoy

RE: SIG Tri Star
Well dang, a stalling bike is not a good option for racing...haha. I used to race my 97 Cr250 and then my quad...might still race the quad.... Back on topic. I think I am going to try nitro first....then electric if it is still in one piece [X(] I will keep you posted either way. Kevin

It look very similar.
