Status: offline 		Kinda having second thoughts about these bikes. They look too scale-like
Are the nuova faor bikes top-o-the-line now? Do they offer any electric kits? Or motor mounts to go electric? I'ma lipo kinda guy
Do you run 3S or 4S? I'm thinking extreme speed and acceleration
CC Mamba max? I've heard the Neu motors are the bomb? Do they offer some high Kv rated motors for this use?
Price really isn't a factor/issue here.
And steering? I was thinking a 9254 or 9252 oughta do the trick.

Thanks

Status: offline 		There are now two new compition chassie on the market the mclarny http://www.formbymodelshop.com/index.asp?function=DISPLAYCAT&catid=86 and the kpo7 http://www.formbymodelshop.com/index.asp?function=DISPLAYCAT&catid=91 this are lighter and handle alot better then the kit bikes. you do need a donnor bike for some parts so i would go for the TTe as it cheaper.Then a set of tornado forks or the mclarny forks that have just been released I've seen a Kv7700 in a bike and it was a missile but to much for even the largest circult here in the UK. I don't use lipos so not sure what to surgest there but anything that 7.4 volts and the same size as stick pack should be ok i think.

Status: offline 		i run a Nuova Foar electric with the Team Novak 6.5 brushless powered by the Trakpower gold lipo. it is plenty fast enough (will wheelie & flip if not carefull). have a look on 2 wheel hobbies website for all thedifferent bikes & chassies available.

be carefull, they're addictive.
