Default Converting a Ricky to Nitro!

Hello.
I'm new to this forum, so let me introduce myself! I live in London, UK and I'm married with two young children. I have always loved bikes and have ridden them for over 25 years. I currently have a Triumph Bonneville with a 2 seat sidecar attatched (to put the rug rats in).
Last year I got into radio control models, first a hobbyzone plane, then a GV truck and then (wonder of wonders) a Thunder Tiger nitro Ducati! The most brilliant model I ever saw. However it took me a good 3 months to work out how to start it!
Since then I have bought a couple of Ricky's from the states through ebay. One I converted to Nitro, the other I have just converted to brushless!
I also have a thunder Tiger electric converted to brushless and a Nuova Faor sf506.
I've made movies about all of them!
To see all my rc and bike related exploits have a look at;

All the best.
