thats looks awsome- are the disk brakes functional?

the rear is, and the front will be. I have to order the 2 front calipers.

how much did you get it for? I take it its electric by the absence of pipe and plastic spur gear?

[Brian23]

yes it does appear to be electric but nitros still have plastic spurs...

I dont want to say. But lets just say I got it for a great price. Yup its electric. Only going to run an extra 15T I had laying around until the new CastleCreations brushless is out.

And nitro have plastic spurs also. Incase you have missed my other threads in the past I have a nitro with a OS18 in it and it rips right along.

This now makes bike #6 :D

why does it need the disc brakes if its electric?

[EZM]

Just say how much you got it for! im with rs4, if its electric it doesnt need brakes because the thottle does the stopping, its a nice bike looking bike, sure would like to see a nitro bike with something like a .21 small block onroad engine!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 also how much did you say it cost?

[sportmaxx91]

He said he didn't want to say how much it costs if u read the other reply. If he doesn't want to tell there is probably a good reason.

What diffrance does it make what I payed for it? If your interested in getting into motoRC then a brand new electric roller is 230ish, and ready to run bikes are 350ish(for either nitro or electric) For mods and hop up goto www.2wheelhobbies.com and you can also check www.crazynutracing.com

the rear brake is not needed, but adds to the scale look. I like it, its my bike so I can put what ever I want on it ;)

Front brake..... I take it you have never riden a real motorcycle before.

.21's are way to much motor for the bikes. the OS18 is almost to much motor for it. I Know some one who has put 21s and bigger in a bike and they say they are not really any fun to drive.

[RCRevolution]

i still say put the .18tz in it or a eb modded .12tz, better yet the Orion .12 engine

when I photograph the bikes I dont like to have them on for some reason unless its running.

[rs4 rally boi]

Hi All. Just curious, how are the bikes to drive? I mean, how do they not fall over, or do they?

I used to ride the real thing back in the early-late 90's.
I've owned GSXR 750's, 1100's. had a ZX-7, and ended up with a Suzuki TL before I became wheel chair bound and couldnt ride anymore.

I would love to get into RC motorcycles. I didn't know there were many of them out there. My LHS doesnt have any.

Thanks for any response!

Sent you a PM.

They stay up just like a real bike. By the Gyroscopic effect of the wheels. They do fall over but only when you come to a complete stop. You can do a very very slow roll, only a few MPH and it will stay up.
