Which First Bike
Hi
I know there are a few ofg these posts but none seem to cover everything I would like to know...
I am looking for my first RC Bike and am a little confused which to buy 1/8 or 1/5th for starters.
The Thunder Tiger Ducatti looks a lovely bike but I am unsure what mods are available for it, such as brushless etc, better chassis and suspension set ups.
The next choice is the 1/8th by Venom racing and the same questions are asked?
The other concern I have should I wish to venture into racing the bike, which again is the best choice?
Thanks guys for your help.
Stuart

RE: Which First Bike
The 1/5 bikes like the TT are better suited for street racing, and handle better then the smaller 1/8 Venom GPV. The Venom is great for Nicely paved lot like a tennis court or similar surface, doesnt handle the street very well, one small rock sends the bike into a violent crash.
I like 1/5 scale, and there is probally more aftermarket parts for the TT than the Venom. Plus its easier to learn and drive a larger bike than it is a smaller one. Just my opinion.
