i'm getting into r/c bikes and would like to know something. I'm getting a tt in about a week and i read somewhere that wheelies messes something up what do it do and do they have 2 speed trannys for them. I'm currently into nitro cars and trucks and have 5 years nitro experieance. Motorcycles are now eateresting me so in 1 week i'll have mine. HERE's my family

the stock ducati will not wheely, i've asked about a 2 speed tranny, but never got an answer. they are fun to drive and takes alittle practice, when you fist get yours find a big open parking lot to get past the learning curve. if you look on (2wheelhobbies.com) you will find alot of hop-ups. good luck and have fun

The stock TTn wont wheelie, put a good .18 in there and your away. wheelie are not very controlable and if the bike flips over backward jut like a real bike the back end takes a beating and the rear sub frame can bend and crack and the exhaust pipe end can will get damaged. Two speed can be done with some modding but i've not done it myself and no one here in the UK use's a two speed on track.

When you get the TTn the fuel line that feeds into the tank will need blocking up to keep the tank presurised, use a 3mm screw.

Remove the grub screw that holds on the spur gear and the front sprocket on the layshaft and them replace using thread lock.

Cut some slit's where the crash bar go though the body work to avoid having to remove the crash bars every time you wont look at the bike.

Use some thread lock on the grub screw that hold the crash bars in place, and never run with no crash bars!!!

Have a look here for corner set tips and like gamebeer said find big open space as the bikes brake slower and turn slower than the cars.
