    I turned my bike and rider into Robbie Knievel, made a pair of white leathers and put the white plastic on my bike.

    It’s crazy how fast these companies produce spare/aftermarket parts. And yet it’s hard for me to find parts for my Nissan z.

    I just ran mine yesterday,took a minute to get used to controlling it but not 2 bad,it does turn wide tho,hopefully they will make a servo or something 2 increase the turning radius

    • @clean1566
      @clean1566 ปีที่แล้ว

      It's all about braking, and turning, with throttle coming, after it's tipped, and almost pointed in direction you want to go. On pavement, it's definitely, the slower you are before the turn, the sharper you can turn. I can turn mine in 5' diameter easy!(after 2 wks), and still do decent lap times. It is a blast!

    Earl. Great Video. In your professional opinion, does the motorcycle require a bit more maintenance after every battery pack than an RC 4 wheel vehicle? I have a motorcycle on order, so I am watching all of your content and it seems that the motorcycle requires just a bit more care after each battery pack if I want to keep the bike in good running condition. Thanks again for the informative content!

    Be careful with those hole shots they wear down fast. When i 1st started racing 1/8 scale i went to the track at amain in chico on a hot summer day to pratice it was during the week so the track had not been waterd and i didnt think much of it well the brand new set if 1/8 buggy hole shots only lasted about 35-40 minutes. yep dumb move on my part i smoked a brand new set in about a pack and a half😢

    Should blue lock tight be used on screws after removing them even once ? Parts sure are slowly arriving, we are going to have Street tires before our bikes 😆

      @earlmoorhead5555 just have them shipped. And I like the white plastic I think it will look cool with the graphics on. Mine is blue and I have all of the GPM and VITAVON upgrades. In aluminum and anodized blue . And I'm going to run the #238 to represent HAIDEN DEEGAN. he's running 2nd overall in points in the motocross. And won at Washougal. In an epic race winning both motos. Stay cool .

    Earl, I generally watch your channel, and appreciate your content, but I haven’t watched anything since you started making content for this stupid bike. Any idea when videos will becoming with non bike content? The thing can’t do front flips, can’t do back flips, and you can’t really upgrade the motor/esc for the thing.
