Default RE: Building an RC Bike from a toy

ORIGINAL: yaleforscale

hey drew looks great bro this model has come a long way , on the batteries i know its extra cost but you would be much better of with a lipo . lot less weight , would also give more run time , just a idea nice work ..
Would you believe I ordered 2x 7.4v 2200mah 2cell lipo's yesterday...

And had confirmation they have been dispatched today....

Should be good with those in - the 7.2v seems to produce a higher top speed on the bench.
Hope to get out again at weekend for another test run.

I tell you, for a cheap as chips bike, it handles really well.
Just don't think it would do so well in a crash, the plastic does not feel that tough.

Thanks,
Drew
