    Tamiya Trike/Honda Gyro

    Tamiya-57405-RC-Trike-Three-wheel-bike.jpg.28f9cd2327ea39f0603e5f80a114368c.jpg

     

    Prepare for a whole new world of Tamiya R/C fun with this all-action, lean-turn trike model!
    The rear section is comprised of a motor and gear case, and the front section houses the R/C equipment and battery.
    The polycarbonate body is inspired by trikes such as those used for everyday deliveries in Japan. Enhanced enjoyment of running by a comical polycarbonate body handled by Atsuo Ario and a doll wearing a helmet.
    ★ Features a link between servo and support arms to ensure that the model can right itself in the event it overturns.
    ★ Use 4 AA batteries or Tamiya LF 1100 batteries for power supply.
    ★ Combination with FineSpec 2.4G propo set (with TRE-01) is recommended.

    I can see that going pear shaped the moment somebody tries driving one after a couple of cans too many!!

    Snap goes the servo arm, crunch goes the servo ....

     

    Sorry, agreed, it looks great!!

    I would guess there are regular servo replacements as that 'tilt servo' will be under permanent load.

    It's a great + fun concept, but..

     

    I can already see some flaws from the video....

     

    Wheelbase too narrow at rear, body is too top heavy, it doesn't seem to centre itself upright....needs a gyro kit adding.

     

    Would love to see a tuktuk speed run build with one though...
