Default RE: RC motorcycle: is it worth it?

ORIGINAL: ray schrauwen

The Pictures are all of the FM-1e in stock to totally modified like the one you said in Carbon fibre. The bottom pic' is a totally tricked out FM-1e and that is what I plan to do with one when I get it. IT comes with a hefty price tag this major mod goes for $300.00 to 400 US to get to that point and that still doesn't include a motor or ESC. There is alot of difference between the stock and one tricked out by Crazy Nut. The full mod would make the bike close to 1/2 it's Stock weight meaning Much faster for given power input.
I have been in contact with Crazy Nut and they seem to be enthusiastic about cutting a deal if you do a large upgrade"kit" All at once. So soon (in 3-4 weeks) I will have a
FM-1e and stuff to trick it out, still haven't decided on motor and ESC yet but I have alot around the house to play with. Their are 2 or 3 for bidding on Ebay right now but I will most likely buy new.

for esc to keep the weight down, look at the new quantum 2, read a review about it and it changes the frequency to what is best in its current running state, itll switch to give u acceloration or top speed depending where the rev is on the engine pricey, but the best!
