RE: RC motorcycle: is it worth it?
Hi my friend,
I have been into R/C for 20 years and wanted a Motorcycle for that long. When I was in my local hobby shop last week I saw "High Torque's" "R/C CAR" Magazine and low and behold on the front was my little dream... A decent R/C MotorBike. At 1/5th Scale it's just awsome! the one they show has a zillion mods by: crazynutracing.com
But the main bike is available at Warehouse Hobbies online at about $229.00 US
As soon as I get the cash next week one is mine for shure! It's completely modifiable.
It takes any car 05 can motor and speed control. I have had chances in the past to buy the Kyosho 1/8th, 1/10th or 1/12th scale (not sure) but they seem like toys and require specialized electronics for operation. The other is what you mentioned but again is very limited to modification and is closer to a toy. Now that said the Thunder Tiger FM-1e is my next Purchase for shure and I race Fast Electric R/C boats! I am gunna sell a few to get some cash to totally trick out the FM-1e. Hey surf Like I did and see the review in 2001 R/C Car Action of the stock unit. I am hooked!
Crazy Canuck Out![:-]
Hey dude if you are in Belgium, then look around in Germany and the U.K. for some other sites. Also Crazy nut Racing sells a German Gas power 1/5th scale Bike on thier site.
