Default Old Motorcycle

I happen to see this in an old magazine, Model Airplane News, February, 1974. I thought some of you might be interested. I can scan the rest of the article and post it if anyone is interested.

Thanks for posting that,old articles are always interesting.I imagined the bikes started to appear much later than that.

That would be awfully kind of you to share the rest of the article with us. This is an interesting bit of rc moto history.

That looks a lot like the Nuovo Faors and OTO bikes from Europe.

Theyre very fast, but I prefer some scale to my RC moto, and my Kyosho does it for me Plus parts are dirt cheap and its a pretty rugged bike (having high-sided at 25+ mph I can attest to its ruggedness!)

With my Electrifly 5200kv bl motor, Novatech 30A ESC, Hextronix 14G metal gear mini servo, and 1600mah Turnigy 2S lipo, I can run "scary" fast (like squirrely fast), forover 2 hours on a charge.With the stock Kyosho rear tire (I normally run Venom medium compounds) I love how I can gun it out of a turn and drift the rear end!!!

I can't see how anyone could get any useful information from the article but I just thought it would be entertaining. This is the complete article.
