RE: Welcome to the new RC Motorcycle forum!
Nice Bike Angus, does it go or is it shelved right now??
No sniffing here dude I am ELECTRIFIED!!
Shure the run times suck but I prefer my hearing and brain cells over run time.
Not to mention fingers etc... Gas is just scary, and add the fact I live in an apartment and I am stuck in a wheelchair for life. Gas and me do not mix.[&:]

RE: Welcome to the new RC Motorcycle forum!
I gotta say Ray if I was confined to a wheelchair it would be constructed of titanium and the rear wheels would be driven by a filth spewing 2-stroke engine. I suppose there might be some silly regulation governing the use high powered two stroke engines in apartment buildings but I would not give it up without a fight!!
Perhaps I will get around to finishing the bike this winter but for now it resides on my beer fridge in the garage.

RE: !
I’ve found one place and one place only that makes a nitro dirt bike. I don’t even have the link anymore nor the phone number I called.
It was a manufacturer in Europe and the price was comparable to the road bikes. The guy told me that the “drive train†was warranted as well as other parts of course but in general, he told me I wouldn’t be happy with it. I was told the bikes were awesome with speed and would fly amazingly high on jumps but every landing resulted in front fork failure. I was told that they made a bike that would withstand punishment but the front didn’t really look like a dirt bike anymore. Too big, too bulky. The guy told me they were working on it but not really. He made a good point in saying “It seems almost impossible to make anything that looks as it should and perform as you would expectâ€.
All that was a few months ago and from searching, he’s apparently right and is the reason you can’t find them anywhere.

RE: Welcome to the new RC Motorcycle forum!
I just wanted to tell everyone that is into rc bikes that we need to make more people aware that rc bike are alive and alot of fun!!! If we can get more people invloved and create a larger market for them, we have a chance at encouraging companies to produce more bikes and more parts. Would'nt it be cool to walk into a hobby store and see the same amount of parts for our bikes as we do for the T-maxx?

RE: Welcome to the new RC Motorcycle forum!
Hey Guy's I just bought the T.T. ducati 999r electric and I've got to say I'm impressed now that I put a Fhantom 13x2 on it with a 2400 mathced pack and Dean's plugs. I still can't get it to do any sort of wheelie action even with the stock pinion {14} I think.Any body got any idea's?
bye the way I think the 1\8 scale kyosho's are awesome in realism.

RE: Welcome to the new RC Motorcycle forum!
Try an 8-9T motor with stock pinion, stock sprocket and 3300mah batteries. Really power is the big thing here to get wheelies.
