Default RE: Building an RC Bike from a toy

ORIGINAL: Teknoron

Was able to “drive’ the cycle this weekend. Did take a little getting used to, then the radio decided to switch on me, luckily with the dual turning knob I just flipped the radio around and drove it that way, then it would switch back. Tried replacing the batteries but that did not help. So I have decided to replace the radio and ESC. Have not tore the bike down yet, was wondering the size of the servo used to drive the bike? Standard or is it a micro servo?
If you look at the picture above 'stage 10', the big white lump is the combined unit that is also the servo.
So should be able to take a normal sized servo.

I have a few small aircraft servos and 10th scale car steering servos. But have not tried any of them yet.

Will be starting the rebuild very soon, got my solder and new bullet connectors arrived today, so should have everything to get started.
I am going to try the standard motor first, with the new electronics.

Hope you get yours working better.

PS, I didnt like the switchable standard controller - is pretty lame.
