We are very pleased to announce the launch of our new 1/8th scale motorcycle...the GPV1. After an intensive design program, testing, traveling its finally here. This bike has it all and its for everyone of any skill level. That was the hard part! Its not just for the racer and its not just for the novice.

Hey that kyosho bike in your avatar sure looks familiar, didnt you buy that from me?

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

How big is a 1/8 motorcycle compared to a 1/10 ST or 1/18 ST. Would it be possible to jump it around 1 foot high.

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

I dont think you would want to jump this, its a street bike. If your looking for a bike to jump look for the Ricky Carmichael dirtbike made by Radio Shack. Its discontinued, but I see them on here in the classifieds, and on ebay. They are 1/5th scale and have decent suspension. Also there are a TON of threads on how to upgrade them, and even make them Nitro!

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

It was locked because the policy here is not to allow more than one new product release per month so the admin deleted the thread. Sorry for the confusion, all is well.

This bike is RTR, but is there a charger include too?

Thanks

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

That new BL ESC is for 10th scale applications and not for the GPV-1...I wish! The power is incredible. Use that on a 5th scale bike as well.
The charger for the GPV-1 running pack is included...YES

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

Bump!

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

Are there any more videos out there yet? Maybe showing 2-3 running against one another on a track?

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

Sorry no new videos yet but we plan on shooting some soon!

RE: Venom-Racing GPV-1 motorcycle
 

What size motor is in that?, I can't seem to tell. I have been out of the Rc world for a bit and have been into my racing season way to much, Would i be able to use a Mini-t Brushless system in it. Im pretty sure that the motors are the same size but not completely sure. Thanks for the help in advance.
