dazzi220 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 (edited) I really really REALLY like that! Theres the exact same bike in my lhs window,same price but I think its electric whats shaft start? Edited April 29, 2005 by dazzi220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 whats shaft start? ← Roto-start/drill start. Just a different name. If you haven't driven an RC bike before, get an electric one first. They are hard work to begin with! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEE69 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 i think they have a gyroscope in the rear wheel for the balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garry Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 The wheels themselves are gyroscopes, because of the large diameter. Get up to speed and you're fine, its just slowing down and cornering thats tricky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzi220 Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 the bike in my lhs has a chain to does that sound right for a battery version? i think its batt cos it says nothin on the box about an engine,but its the same bike and 1.5tha scale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 I think Lee69 posted a video of one ages back. It is awsome! I am not a fan of the electric bikes at all but these look smart! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garry Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 Yeah, the electric and nitro version are essentially the same design, it the electric one thats easier to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duff Posted April 29, 2005 Author Share Posted April 29, 2005 (edited) just like a real bike just smaller. also i think you can get an R1 shell for it as well. Edited April 29, 2005 by Duff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mth Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 the vid lee posted is from halifax (my local track ) the line that the bike takes in that pic is VERY wide....i could gain atleast 1 sec on each corner against that bike. the bikes, even the nitro bikes aren't that fast you know...probably around 40 if its a decent engine, dunno why they just don't carry much speed....even if they are single speed you would expect something like that to be pushing 50. one thing about turning...same thing with real bikes, if you to lean into the corner, you have to turn the wheel the opposite way to the corner (or shift all your weight to the inside of the corner, but obviously you can't do that on an RC bike) because if you turn into the corner you are going to lean outwards (its basically centripetal acceleration/centrifugal force)....so turning outwards will shift all the weight to the other side, making you turn into the corner....try it get on a pushbike, ride down a hill or something and put all your weight to oneside, what happens? the bike turns that way.
