ajlovering Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi Just to let you know there are 2 bike classes for the ROSSA world RC speed championships. Electric and IC. We havent seen a bike at the event for a while and would love to see them again Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Would love to run the GVP-1 , but alas the heart condition - meds and travel puts a halt to that. also the very very low supply of spares is my downfall to, my current gearing would allow for around a 45mph run using my ratio and rollout peramiters.

jb. Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Just out of interest, just what are the Rossa speed records held by the bikes? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajlovering Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 (edited) 92.32mph for the electric bike and 92.51mph for the IC Close! Edited February 16, 2016 by ajlovering 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 yeah and they resemble limo's not bikes either. the chassis are over stretched in length and look nothing like a true bike if i am honest. i would like rules changed to be stock form chassis, no 10ft long chassis with a couple wheels bolted on. you dont see 100ft long drag bikes only when they have a wheelie bar fitted.

How much have you actually looked into those claims? Becuase this is a picture of the electric record holding bike, ok its stretched a bit but nothing like 10ft and still looks perfectly like a bike to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamiyacowboy Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Thats a nice bike and yep its not overstretched, but the rossa site shows this monster ( its one of the nitro bikes ) http://www.rossa.org.uk/ROSSAgallery/gallery8.html and i wouldnt say its a bike its huge even with a cowl and fairings. i just expected some sort of rules and regs on length aka wheel base from center pin to center pin on wheel hubs. i have a stocker GVP-1 and with a 9000kv with a 14 pinion and 60 spur its rated at around 62mph using rollout and drive ratios converted to give rear wheel speed maxed out. i would love to run it but i have only one spare head yoke brace and my whole front end has had a huge impact smash and ripped the mounting holes into a mounting slot. any slight bump causes my front wheel to travel backwards and rub the chassis base plate and upper drop braces. (its the reason it sits ontop of my PC as a static model now) and i purchased it like that as those holes and mount points were hidden away, it took two weeks to find a part in australia have not even be able to find a suitable spur or parts that dont command 50 quid payouts or more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
