How come I see some of the Thunder Tiger Ducati's with upside down/inverted forks and some with conventional? Are there two different versions with the RTR's?

Nevermind, I think my eyes were deceived by the paint shading giving me the impression that they are inverted. For example, on jonmills bike where the bodywork is covering the top of the forks.

hows the bike treating you guys hows the engine such as top end low end and electronics

VoodooNinja

Well, I had to get one (Desmo) since I have been into real motorcycles since the 1970's. I have been quite pleased with how it runs so far. Alot easier to control than I expected. I cut and shortened the crash bars in order to get maximum lean angle and that helps. I'm finishing engine breakin, so I can't speak for it's maximum top end. Low end is pretty good, as you can break the wheel loose if your not careful. But some of that has to do with the stock rubber. The stock electronics are good for learning. Radio is similar to the MGT's. The servos could be upgraded to more powerful one's, once you get the basics of handling. A must if you add the optional front brake. The rear shock leaks and constantly check all bolts. (Locktite is your friend)

I assume the 999 and Desmo-thing are technically the same with just different bodies??

VoodooNinja

You are correct. You also get a rear tire hugger with the Desmo and a rider that sorta looks like Loris Capirossi. I bought mine from ThunderTiger4U like mOnO n.s.G^ suggested.

Here is an updated picture of my bike, after I did some more paint work and detailing so that it looks like the GP6 version of the MotoGP racer.

boatexpert144

I also am well known on ebay i might put it on ebay if more than a couple ppl are interested, but please feel free to ask for pics or more info thanks

HerrSavage

Any chance of shipping to Germany??...

boatexpert144

maybe but at your cost

HerrSavage

Naturally... Any idea what shipping would be?

boatexpert144

not sure never really shipped overseas

boatexpert144

but i mihgt be willing to ship it overseas

HerrSavage

No different than shipping anywhere else. You just need to ship it as a gift... ;-)

Besides that, it just costs more... But given the current exchange rate, paying 40 or even 50 bucks for shipping(if that's what it would cost..) would still be well worth it for somebody living with Euros, given prices here..

A new nitro Ducati here costs €385 shipped... That's $517....

boatexpert144

oh i see

boatexpert144

well i guess i could

nothinbetr2do

hi all, just wondering if its true that a revo or jato shock will fit on the rear mono. also could you tell me of any mods and bigger engines that you use. thanks

boatexpert144

Yes i put a revo shock on my bike that i recently sold and works fine. update with smaller chain and sprocket. I think the engine has plenty of power... but that could just be me
