Got another RC bike :)

[^j!nx^]

Well today I added 2 more r/c bikes to my collection. I have been wanting a RadioShack Ricky for a while now. Well I noticed today a local radioshack is going out of business and had them on clearance. They cost me 60$ each.

Now before you go bashing saying its a "RadioShack Toy" this is one of the few RS RCs thats hobby grade. Its constructed just like other 1/5th bikes. Aluminum Chassis plates, aluminum spacers. Its very well constructed.

So now I have
2 1/8th scale Kyosho Bikes
1 1/5 brushless
1 1/5 nitro
2 1/5 Ricky Dirt Bikes

the Duc is made by thunder tiger. It only comes ready to run and will cost you around 330-360 depending on who you order it from. And the OS18 is a monster in that bike and I love it :D

Have your bro check out the bike forum on RCGroups

ThunderTigers first electric bike was the fm1e wich sported the R1 body work. It has sence been replaced by the ducati 999R :( The R1 is a much nicer looking body. You can still find the fm1e R1 on ebay. You can find NIB rollers for like 200, and used RTRs for around the same price. Or you can buy the fm1e 999R from most any online hobby shop(tower stocks them) and buy the R1 body wich will cost you around 30$ plus shiping.

Here are pics of the R1, however I dont have any really good pics of it

How fast do they go w/ brushless? How fast do they go period? You should clock 'em.
