On power the bike will slowly stand back up as expected. Due to the shape of the tires since they are parabolic in cross section they promote more side grip than straight standing grip. What will happen is the bike will tip in to a corner fast and you can control the lean angle very easy. Add power and counter steer and the bike will flick to the other side quickly.

Hmm, this may add weight to using a sensored brushless motor since the throttle control is more precise. Guess I will see how the Mamba pans out (tonight is the first night I will get to play with it on a track since its been wet outside). Are the soft tires in stock yet? I will be using it on a carpet track.

Status: offline 		Well I had fun with it, but I definitely need to get some more practice under my belt learning how to drive one of these. That and man, do those stock tires PUSH on carpet.

I did find a problem, and I don't know if its something I did or what. I attempted to shorten the front fork to get more steering. The front fender would hit the chassis before the suspension bottomed out and if I put the lower part of the body on, it was hitting the front wheel. Am I doing something wrong? Or is this a goof in the first batch (which is OK, if its fixed with the graphite conversion)?

Status: offline 		I'm not sure about the fender hitting the chassis but shortening the front forks is not going to get you more steering. There is basically no possible way to make a motorcycle turn sharper unless you have a lower lean angle. To have a lower lean angle you need more grip and no rails on the bike. There are some changes to the geometry that might help a little (the rake adjustment) but it probably wont be all that drastic. With a motorcycle the most important basics is to keep an even balance of traction between front and rear and get as low of a lean angle as you can without the bike sliding around.

Also shortening the front forks could have taken away steering. The more weight you have hanging off the bike toward the inside of the corner the sharper a bike will turn. Which is really the only reason why racers hang off on the real ones otherwise they could all sit straight up and it wouldn't make a difference.

Edit: As for the fender hitting the chassis. The front wheel shouldn't be moving more than just a few degrees while you're driving it anyway.

Status: offline 		I saw these at hobby shop but the owner and employees didn't really know much yet as they hadn't sold any yet or heard any reports. I followed this thread and did more searching but haven't found the answer I really want to know. My only question now is, what the heck is the top speed of this thing stock ? Just a good guess will do, like 10-15mph, more, less? Is it fast enough to be fun after learning how to drive it, or does it need a good boost right away to be interesting? Reason I ask is my bros and I are really wanting to try them but don't want to sink alot of $ into it right away to have them be fast enough for fun family racing. Although I have never driven an rc bike, I race a lot with 1/10 touring and 1/8 gtp rally so am used to driving at higher speeds and don't want something that just crawls along making me want more right away . So any good guesstimate on speed would really help us out as the rest of the bike is really well documented as to how it handles and whatnot. Thanks for any help, and thanks for the info on here so far, keep up the great work!

Status: offline 		The GPV goes about 20mph stock out of the box. The bike can go over 40mph if set up for it. I think you and your buddies will have a blast with them and especially in a large parking lot with corner dots on the ground for a simple track, its a riot just chasing each other around. Groups of bikes are real fun for sure.

@ Mini Me,
The ESC could be in the wrong postion. Check it and realign it so the bottom edge is either parallel to the chassis edge or rotate it vertical, 90deg from where it sits now. The fender will never touch the chassis so I'm sure this is the problem your seeing.
The rake angle adjustment will change the responsiveness of the bike and make it faster or slower depending on the angle chosen, see the tunnig section in the instruction manual. With the Race Chassis you can adjust the wheelbase and this will make the bike turn a tighter circle/corner so this might be the set up your looking for.
Lowering the front end like you did is another method for changing the rake angle and it also changes the ride height. In full size bikes it also makes the bike "flick" from side to side faster. Basically if you tune this way you also need to stiffen the springs due to the lower stance the front has which will bottom out or rub the body at high corner loads. There is 4mm of tuning there to work with and thats all.
Rake without a change to wheelbase is only going to effect stability and responsiveness not how tight the bike will corner. A shorter wheelbase will draw a smaller circle, thats one way to look at it. Again look at the tuning section of the manual.
Bike tuning is an art so take your time and understand what you feel and see and make small changes.

Chris

Status: offline 		Its not the esc causing the issue, trust me on that Im using a modified mamba (switched the cap around so it has much less of a footprint, and I directly soldered the motor to the esc. It well inside the boundries of the chassis edge... I will get some shots here. Heck, maybe attempting to put it back into the more upright position will show me whats going on. But I can say the lower body portion was dramatically hitting the front wheel, even if I pushed it back from the tire it will would only barely not touch it. I actually attempted less front rake because of the what the directions stated. I have been over the tuning tips, but they dont go into great depth with the physics behind it.

Any idea on the softer compounds? Or are they already in stock?

Status: offline 		Well looking it over I noticed this (first picture). Musta happened during my numerous hugs with the pipes and wall. After screwing the fork back in and straightening out, when I did rebuild it with the steeper rake just now (next two pictures), I didn't encounter that issue I had before. . In my defense I was trying to change it between rounds while I should have been working on my sedan, so I wasn't paying as close attention as I should have during race night.


EDIT EDIT, Im also a noob to the terminology, so when I said shorter front, I meant I had changed the rake angle to closer to 90degrees (alah 69). Sorry for the confusion!

For the BL system I would suggest the Castle Creations Mamba system for 18th scale. Its a 25A ESC. For the motor you dont want to go any hotter than 5800kv and for a novice maybe something in the 3500-4500KV is better for more control. That will be your call and the motors are not very expensive so a couple motors wont hurt.
Venom will be offering a BL system for the bike however its not released yet. Go to the Castle site and take a look. You should also consider the Castle Link so you can tune the ESC with your PC and quickly dial in what you need to get the best feel and control. Its my personal favorite and there are many other ESC's to look at but the Mamba 25 is very small and works great.
As for gearing you can keep the stock gearing if you use a lower KV motor. If you choose a 5800KV motor you should go down a tooth or two on the pinion. The optional spur gears are on their way and will be shipping shortly. These are 60T and 62T spurs and are better for BL motor applications but thats up to you to tune for your use.
The gear pitch is .5 mod and we offer a range of pinions gears on our site www.venom-group.com . There are other brands and any that work for 370 size brushed motors and 18th scale cars with .5mod pitch will work on the GPV-1. Just check the shaft size of your motor before buying any.

Have fun and take your time to learn the bike, it is very different from cars and trucks and more fun!

Chris

Status: offline 		jayvr6, I'm new at these as well. But from what Chris has mentioned, I believe he would suggest the 4200 combo. I'm using a 4900 motor at this point, and its plenty fast without even changing the sprocket gear to the included 12 tooth.

Later on if you think you can handle insane speeds, there are plenty of cheap brushless motors that will work with the Mamba.

Status: offline 		I just got my gpv-1 today. This bike is easier to drive than I though it was going to be. Especially the low speed handling as long as you're easy on the steering wheel its still pretty stable even at close to a walking speed. I did tightned the spring on the steering linkage and it gave me a lot more feel to get the lean angle where I want. I can't believe how tight of a turn you can get out of this bike you can deffinatly run it in some small areas if you want to as long as there is a decent amount of grip and the guide wires.

Chris do you know why the front shocks are are so stiff? In the parking lot infront of our store I think the front shocks are to stiff and the small bumps keep washing out the front end so you can't run it without the guide wires unless you're making wide turns (15ft+). The front tire might just need to be softer but I can deffinatly see the front tire bouncing around a little and our parkinglot is fairly smooth.

Status: offline 		The front should be firm but not stiff or difficult to push down. If you take the forks off and push them in and out they should feel as smooth as any shock you have built before. If there is resistance then it could be the piston(s) tolerance is tight to the inside bore of the fork tube. You can fix this by using fine 600-1000 grit sandpaper and just sand the edge of the pistons a little at a time and check fit them back with the fork tube. The pistons are machined teflon so they can be slighty off here and there in rapid production. The goal is to get them to feel silky smooth and you should feel no resistance at all when sliding them. Another point to look at is the lower seals and bushings. Make sure the parts slide over the shaft easy and also make sure they are stacked correctly, see manual for details. The o-rings will break in over time or you can make that happen faster by cycling the forks by hand for a while to seat them faster. When you put it all together make sure not to over tighten the tripple clamps.
The parking lot could be very smooth as you say but tiny pebbles to us are huge rocks in scale to the bike. The suspension will not cope with pebbles bigger than 1/8 in diameter, thats like 1in size rocks for your real street bike and that can make you crash for real. If you can sweep the area your going to run on that would be the best thing to do.

Chris

Status: offline 		The shocks were way to stiff for them to ever move even though they do move smoothly when you squeeze them. This 1lbs bike deffinatly can't have enough force to compress the front suspension under driving conditions. I tried changing out the shock oil with 20wt but it still felt the same so I tried to find out why they felt so stiff. The biggest issue was deffinatly the o-rings being tight but they haven't had really any time to break in yet (10 battery packs ran through it). Temporarily taking one of the o-ring spacers out of the shocks really helped free up the movement so the o-rings were just to tight. Still with the smoother suspension the rear compresses a whole lot easier than the front. I do think the springs are to stiff but I'll try to find some softer springs of the same size and see if that makes the handling better or worse. I know on my real bike if the rear compresses in a corner it increases the rake on the bike and it starts pushing the front end through the corner. Its probably nowhere near as drastic on this little thing but I'd like to see how it handles if the suspension compresses evenly. Soon we should be racing on some smooth and very grippy concrete anyway.

Still I have absolutly no complaints about the bike I'm just trying to play with some details to make it work the way I want . I did already set the rake to 69 degrees and moved the steering linkage to the inside hole on the tripple tree. Its very touchy on the steering wheel but once you set in some exp in the radio it makes it easier to get the lean angle that you want without it falling onto the guide wires like it did with the softer setup. I also went to a 10t pinion gear on the motor which made it much more fun exiting the corners! It deffinatly hurt the top speed but it is A LOT more fun to turn and accelerate than to just drive in a straight line. It is much more stable on the brakes than the kyosho HOR that I've driven and it slows down pretty quick with just the rear brake even though the rear end starts to move around a bit sometimes. Having the front brakes would deffinatly be a nice advantage to make it more stable under braking and slow down faster especially if you're running brushless with high speeds.

I haven't driven many rc bikes but I'm very satisfied with this thing. It turns much sharper than I though it would after you get used to driving it at low speeds. As a bonus the pearl white on this GPV-1 is a perfect match to the pearl white on my GSX-R .

Status: offline 		Well I just found the gpv-1 thread on rcgroups and you said setting the rear shock softer makes it feel like you have more grip on the front end. I guess it really depends on which point you are in the corner and how much throttle you are using. With the full size bike when you're maintaining the apex of a long corner with just a littttttle bit of throttle if the rear end starts to sag more than the front it feels like the front tire just starts falling out from under the bike untill you pick up the throttle for the exit and basically steer it with the rear tire. I guess with RC you're never in a corner for that long though and I'm sure the tire compounds between front and rear are drastically different between rc and full size. I have a lot to learn about the rc bike setups but I have the suspension moving pretty evenly now so I'm anxious to try it tomorrow.

Status: offline 		Yeah you remind me of the numerous guys Ive instructed to fly RC planes that are real pilots. They have a hard time understanding how to fly an RC pane because they are not in it flying by the seat of thier pants. Makes sense to me because they know more about full scale flight than I do but they have a hard time getting the same info from the plane as they would if they are in it. So for you its the same. Try to take what you know about riding and tuning bikes and set it aside while you absorb and wrap your head around what this little bike does. Later you can combine your knowledge to really push the GPV-1 and your going to destroy the guys on the track.

The front end will compress quite a bit due to the G load the bike experiences. The springs are set as a result of testing many set ups and finding the best average set up. The key is to get the front to compress smoothly as you know but the point at which it does it is key, that center of balance. Thats located at about the tank body post. If you push down on the bike right there both the front and rear should compress evenly. The front will be stiffer than the rear and it has to be this way to a point so the rear can find grip and drive forward.
The first place to find grip with this bike is the rear end because even in the worst conditions the front can hold up pretty well. Work with the rear shock and tire most of the time and make sure the front is just working smoothly. I hardly ever adjust the front end once its set and working well.

Status: offline 		Yeah I finally got the front shocks working smoothly. The o-rings looked nice and broken in but there was still a lot of friction because of how tight they were. I filed off 1 thread from the shock body to take off some of the pressure from the o-rings and it is much smoother now and they don't seem to be leaking yet. The bottom of the rear shock was also fitting to tight in the swing arm so that was binding up but a little sanding fixed that. The suspension is pretty even now with the rear being a touch softer with nice fluid movement on both ends. Its raining now so I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

After about a month of trying out a EP TT Ducatti, I found the TT needed an area bigger than where I was running. however, I am still interested in bikes and if I like the venom, I'll invest in a BL system for it. Might even wait for the Venom BL system to come out for this.

Status: offline 		I just put the Castle Sidewinder 6800kv in mine and its a lot of fun. Could use the softer compound tires but with the grip that I have here its still easy to drive. I would HIGHLY recommend getting the front brake kit for it if you're going to go brushless though. Trying to stop with just that rear tire from 40mph can get pretty intresting.

There aren't many radios that will mix their 3rd channel with the throttle/brake which is needed for the front brake option. After putting my Futaba Fasst 3PM in the bike last night I found that this radio can mix the 3rd channel servo to work the front brakes when you push the trigger forward. You could stick with the stock radio which is very nice for an RTR but if you're looking at buying a new radio to use in the bike the Fasst 3PM is a good choice.
