Great pics! How do the Motocycles work, How do they stand up and how do you keep road rash from happening?

Well they stay up just like a real bike. The wheels act like gyros. You can come almost to a complete stop before they tip over say 3-5mph. And to keep road rash to a minimal they actualy have crash bars. Not installed in the pics because I wanted to keep the bikes clean. But in the pic below you can see them. They let the bike lay over almost till the lower fairing touch. On a good wide turned track they hardly ever rub the ground. So you can go a full day without ever really laying the bike down. If it does tip over the crash bars are designed in a way that if you give light throt the bike will circle on the bars and stand itself up.

The blue bike in the background is electric and running brushless. The red bike is the new Nitro bike made by thundertiger. They are a total BLAST to drive.

Here is a small video (http://rs-scooby.com/albums/album96/bike.wmv)

nothing special, but youll get the idea of how htey run. That was when I was running the brushless but CHEAP packs. I have senc moved uptoo IB3800 packs. THey are alot faster and added alot more punch to the brushless.

[shadowghost1]

Too cool, thats the first time I have ever seen one run. Very fast but that wreck looked painful at the end.

Nice work as usual.

[Legend_Car]

that looks awesome those bikes look fun to drive and that video is the first i have seen them in action, but the price is kind of steep

Actualy the THunderTiger bikes are not to bad. Right now you Can get the electrice RTR for 329$ and you can get the Nitro RTR for 299$ and the electric roller for 190$

[Legend_Car]

I didnt know you could get a roller. i just saw the elec and nitro. That would be sweet with a brushless and a lipo. do you ever get any wheelies with those bikes?

Yeah if you run on a high grip surface. Has to be really really clean. Or an area with some traction compound.

This is a video i hosted for these guys on another forum (http://rs-scooby.com/albums/album96/nitroracing.wmv)
If you watch you can see a few small pop up wheelies, and some nice bike drifts.

[Legend_Car]

sweet vid another first nitro bikes in action. Those wheelies were cool. that guy had some guts to run his without the body

[RCfrodoRC]

wow i like those. what is the top speed for the nitro one? i wanna look into one of them.

[RS4rally1124]

those are ereally cool... as of late ive become a real scale oriented guy.... if u could hide the intena those are insanely beutiful

[^j!nx^]

Thanks for the comments guys, photogrpahy is another one of my many hobbies I enjoy

RCfrodoRC: not sure of the top speed on the nitro yet. With all the rain I havent had time to lean it out sence the brakeing period. Was hoping to do it to but guess what! more rain. But from what I have seen out of the nitro the electric is MUCH faster. Its running a novak SS5800 and geared for major highspeed. I have been running on a real highspeed track.

[^j!nx^]

And here is a quick body off shot so you can see what the guts look like.

[Piggy89373]

wow....that is so freakin' cool!! What size engines are in them?

[^j!nx^]

wow....that is so freakin' cool!! What size engines are in them?

In the thunder tigerbikes people from what I know are running 12-18's. Guys running the Nuova Faor SF501 bikes are running .21's and bigger. :D I think there is going to be a Nuova Faor SF501 under the xmas tree for me this year.

here is a SF501

those 21 bikes start out as 12's the guys hand make all kinds of custom parts for these bikes. Truly awsome machines.

www.crazynutracing.com has all kinds of hopups for the bikes.

shaft, and some are pull started. The thunder tiger is shaft started, it includes the shaft woth the RTR.

So the electrics run 1/10 BL systems not 1/18?

I guess you could slap anyhting you want in there that could fit :D Some one is running the HVMaxx brushless with lipo's
