Status: offline 		I dont think you would want to jump this, its a street bike. If your looking for a bike to jump look for the Ricky Carmichael dirtbike made by Radio Shack. Its discontinued, but I see them on here in the classifieds, and on ebay. They are 1/5th scale and have decent suspension. Also there are a TON of threads on how to upgrade them, and even make them Nitro!

Status: offline 		Yep it was yours-I traded my buddy a micro rs4 for it. Now he went and bought two more after seeing mine run. We all are just waiting for the bad a$$ GPV-1 just like the rest of the world.
I wonder how many videos will be up of customers bikes in Aug.

Status: offline 		That new BL ESC is for 10th scale applications and not for the GPV-1...I wish! The power is incredible. Use that on a 5th scale bike as well.
The charger for the GPV-1 running pack is included...YES

Status: offline 		What size motor is in that?, I can't seem to tell. I have been out of the Rc world for a bit and have been into my racing season way to much, Would i be able to use a Mini-t Brushless system in it. Im pretty sure that the motors are the same size but not completely sure. Thanks for the help in advance.

Status: offline 		Yyes your mini-t system should work as we have two mamba set ups just waiting to be installed in our new bikes. The stock motor is the Fireball 370 which is a great little motor for the bike. I have only used them in my old HOR's.
Cannot wait for the updated video's. may I suggest a carpet track and outdoor road track.
The anticipation for owners videos of the new Traxxas Splash are out now and we are all excited about the bike videos that will be flooding the Youtube accounts soon.
