I've got my mind dead set on this bike, but I was just wondering do standered 1/10 electronics work
Also would my 6 cell 300mah batt fit or is there a special battery for it
thanx

you might be able to mount a small esc but it requires a micro servo like the hitec hs-81mg.

tower just doesnt carry kyosho anymore thats why it says discontinued.

I am afraid you need a special esc with special servo to run this 1/8th bike it comes as a package K.2567-27 i believe is the part number

I am not sure but i belive the only one available is the original Kyosho one

Ma77

you could get the special radio/speedo combo for the kyosho bike or...............
i've got a standard 27MHz acoms reciever and a novak explorer 2 in mine, which means unlimited motor choise!!!
to fit them in they are both removed from the cases and the reciever is underneath the rear portion near the exausts and the speedo is next to the motor ( you can put them both next to the motor but as theres no where to put a proper arial the range is short). if you have spare radio lying around try using that and DO NOT run it any where water!!!

HOR's and hop-ups are available through http://www.2wheelhobbies.com/ (much better price than Tower)

A standard reciever will work. You will need a extremely small speed control. I managed to stuff a mamba comp X in mine. You will need a smaller servo though. They do take smaller bettery packs. But they are not that much $.

Hi, You can run a small Futaba pcm rx, and any small servo, I have a Mamba brushlesss set up in mine, crazy, dont run the standard servo rx servo set up, its so slow, if you run a brushed motor the grupner 300 motor and your own esc will be an 100% improvement over standard.

I have my eye on a used bike.It's older but in good shape.The owner says 1987.Is this bike the same as ones sold today?

I am sure it is. They have not changed a whole lot.

2002denali

It looks the same but only going by pictures.

Actually it's the static rider and not the hanging on rider.

Biscuit

Go for the leaning rider, its a much better bike, and you can get parts and up grades for it, even make it brushless, its a great little bike.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the stock esc (futaba I believe)?I have my eye on a bike and was wondering if my Novak Spy would fit.Also the stock esc is good enough to run a mod motor?

2002denali

What esc and motor would you suggest to go brushless?

pistol974

I use Novak spy and Novavk micro rec, works great! These bikes are sweet!!

Just bought a hor bike and was wondering if anyone could point me to a forum on upgrades and mods to make it race worthy?

nothinbetr2do

RC groups has a huge bike forum, this forum is pretty quiet for bikes.

The most info I have ever found on the kyoshos is here

http://rcmcc.tripod.com/id16.html

Ians hopup page has the stuff you need for the HORS

HitTheDirt!

I have one of these, and it is my second one.

If you need parts, go to eBay and look in the listings and the eBay stores, you can find many upgrades for these.

Regular 1/10 stuff does not work.

I suggest you buy the combo kit that includes Motorcycle, Bearings and the Receiver/ESC/Servo combo.
All you will need is a 27mhz radio, battery charger, and a 2/3 battery with 6 cells. (The size batteries that the micro cars use, and it has to be stick pack.)

I made the mistake of putting in individual electronics on my first one.....Novak Spy, XXL Receiver and Micro servo.....but it did not operate that great.

I would start with the gear ment for it, then work up to swap'n it out.

They are a blast though!
