The strip down has started - quite a lot of little screws in this thing and working out what to undo first... lots of fun.
Ok, pictures time.
Stage 1: Got the rider off and the front fairing.
Stage 2: removed one of the side panels
Stage 3: have access to the rider movement mechanism
Stage 4: have access to the servo
Stage 5: separated frame from swing arm
Stage 6: reusable parts 1
Stage 7: the frame definitely has potential
Stage 8: the body is nice - similar to the Yamaha R1 or R6 from 2007
Stage 9: all the reusable parts
Stage 10: all the parts destined for the bin...
Looks like a decent sized motor should fit the drive mechanism
The standard motor is 4cm x 3 cm diameter.
Sure I have seen a brushless one that is very close to this size, will have to dig through my many parts boxes.
I bought a BL for flying thing and never go around to using it, so may be able to give it a new home.
There is plenty of space for a decent receiver and esc.
Also could probably open up the bottom of the frame to house a 7.2v 6cell battery. Or a small 11.1 lipo....
We shall have to see.....
Does look promising....
