hakmazter -> Radio shack ATV part 2... (2/20/2006 4:35:48 AM)

Anyone modify any of these yet? I just won 2 on ebay and was wondering what could be done to them. I figure the plastic, wheels,tires,and guys wre worth the price. Anyone think a person could convert to gas?

Will t-maxx shocks really work?

Its worth a shot and certainly possible.

hakmazter -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (3/1/2006 7:03:55 AM)

I got them today. Started putting tire foams in the tires. Should be an interesting project....

I think now I will finally quit being lazy and add my 2 cents in on this atv and start contributing a little more on these. #1 Great sight #2 You guys are great I have a good time reading and learning everyday! Enough of my blahh blahh .Hey Guys I am finally going to post a little info about this Radio Shack ATV. I have been messing with this Atv for a while & I have to say its not a bad little toy I have managed to get this vehilcle to a top speed of 22mph on 2 3300Gp Battery packs in a seies for 14.4 volts . I know you are going to say that i will fry my electronics well folks I can honestly say that its going on 6 months & this little **** has shown no signs of probblems I think that this particular Radio Shack Atv is built with a higher /stronger board b/c it flys. I have also glued the tires/foams and have lightened it up as much as possible while still looking cool . The Rider on these things is too big /heavy so he was replaced buy a smaller version rider Needless to say I am happy for spending $70 on this and getting 22mph. The thing about this ATV is it is useing a 550 motor Johnson/ Marbachi and the torqe is awesome with this only with the running of 2 packs.

Wheere did u put the 2 battery packs if u have pics that would be great.Tim




mollycbr123 -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (5/13/2006 4:27:38 AM)

I'd like to see where you put the two battery packs also. I got one of these Rat Shack quads on a whim, for my 3 yr. old son to run along with my HPI nitro quad. I also was surprised by how well it ran, even on some old 2000mAh nicads I had around.

I was also toying with putting one of my 7.4 lipos in it to see what that would do.




streetsweeper -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (5/23/2006 8:02:03 AM)

I used double side tape to mount the battery packs to each side of the of the ATV . I took off the cheesy plastic motor panels the front plastic pieces in the front where the front lights went. The batteries fit perfect right under the legs of the driver. I use the Ricky Carmichael Driver man b/c he is alot lighter and looks better than that Big Goof Blue Diver. I copyed the exact look of the HPI Nitro ATV & Discarded alot of the useless plastic junk that the ATV dosnt use and weighs it down As far as connecting the 2 7.2 Volts Batt together I Just made a adapter that supplies 14.4 Volts to The Standard 7.2 Volt Tamaya Plug




waytoocrazy -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (8/27/2006 6:04:28 AM)

Hmmmm... sounds cool. I think I'm going to throw some foams in my ATVs tires, then do a dual 3300Mah pack (in parallel for run-time) and then swap out the cheapo springs for something heavier duty. Anyone know if they can take T-Maxx springs? Otherwise, my son and I both love the Quad...




tmmulloy -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (8/27/2006 5:37:00 PM)

I ran a 7.4 lipo in it and smoke started pouring out the back ?




waytoocrazy -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (8/28/2006 4:41:04 PM)

Hmmmm, unless you used that as a receiver pack, and you were running Nitro... I don't think I want to recreate that. I was wondering if anyone here as replaced the electronics on the bike? Does it have it's own servo (where I can attach it to a JR R135 receiver? I would like to get rid of the stock electronics, as my son has destroyed the antenna on the current radio.




waytoocrazy -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (9/4/2006 1:42:48 PM)

Ok, got a quick vid of the bike in action...

JMS130 -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (10/5/2006 8:38:55 AM)

That was a great video! What song was that?




rctrucksrcool -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (10/22/2006 6:59:47 AM)

I believe the song was Muppets - Mahna Mahna




mx127 -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (10/22/2006 9:20:05 PM)

I have one of these and I stripped all of the electronics and put in a dynamite tazer and a 19 turn, but it dindnt make go much faster than stock. i would recomed a motor with lots of tourqe like the lrp big block or brushless. the servo will bolt in where the stock one does




mbrimley -> RE: Radio shack ATV part 2... (1/20/2008 6:20:29 PM)

Does anyone know where I might find a battery cover for the YZF ATV from Radio shack? or any parts for that matter. Thanks!
