Ian w Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Is it possible to convert a Thunder Tiger Ducati nitro to a dirt bike ? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syncro Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 They don't have a gyro of any sort so unless the dirt track was very smooth the bike would be almost impossible to control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turok007 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 anything is possible but it might cost less just to buy a off road bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jb. Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 (edited) Yes it is possible, however... you'll need an Anderson M5 to get the front and rear ends with wheels and you'll need to make your own metal fuel tank. That in essence is what Ian G did to create the nM5. Edited June 7, 2015 by jb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamiyacowboy Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 nitro dirt bike, its expensive and only found in italy here is a mm450 nitro custom thread with some images and a couple vids http://www.rcdirtbikeaction.com/832/custom-nitro-atomik-mm450/ now the expensive part: first up is the nitro based bikes, road and off road http://nuovafaor.it/it/sez-modellismo/10/12/moto-a-scoppio.htm next is the electric onroad and off road. http://nuovafaor.it/it/sez-modellismo/10/11/moto-elettriche.htm and they are very expensive, these are race bikes the pros run, built with quality in mind for racers , your not going to find very many if any off road nitro base. none gyro bikes are demons to learn to ride not easy as a task. and steering and race lines change totally to. you cant just nip up the inside and e-brake round a corner. hit something and its game over .

Syncro Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 If you want to give bikes a try out you can't go far wrong with an Anderson M5. Yes, it's electric but there a good way into RC bikes. They're about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 (edited) I have a very old venom GPV-1 superbike. picked it up for 60 quid on gumtree. theres a gvp-1 on ebay for 100 quid ( bit to much money to be honest for a already defunct model) the anderson m5 and likes are a good bike , and having that gyro spinning up to keep you balanced is a right bonus. i been in rc a long time and can honestly say riding the bike now thats a complete new hobby in its own lol. mine has no gyro assist so its all about rider and keeping speed up, not shaving speed off. If your really interested and want a cheap thing to try out, a motorbike but not all the hassle ? indoor and some mild outside ? and price, a price so low your going to say WTF get outta here !!! well have a look at the new product release that costs a huge Edited June 9, 2015 by Tamiyacowboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
