I did a bit of research and found the kyosho leaning rider ones for very cheap. Big question here is how hard are parts to get? I found one site with a wealth of hop-ups for it, but how easily would a bike break? Are there any other good ones for under $150-200?? Thanks...Sry for the thread jacking lol

I've got a new bright ski doo snobile, it's 36 inches long. Has a 540 and a 32 pitch drive gear stock. There's a few builds on it at rcu if you google it. It would be awesome with an xl-5 system.

Well you can get the kit for about $60 and then you will have to get bearings, and esc, a radio and reviever and a battery. And that is just to get it going. For all that money you could have a much better RC motorcycle the GPV-1.

In all honesty if you want the Kyosho it is a great bike once you hop it up and replace all the parts that will break on you first run. In the long the the Kyosho is going to be 5 times the price, i'm just speaking from experience. As far as other bikes i'm not sure of any others at the moment.

well, i already have a radio and reciever, i'll probably get a mamba micro sidewinder pro ($110) and a micro servo ($15-$20) and then what else do i need to upgrade? Should i just look into getting this Venom bike? I'd like to keep under $200, but off of ebay too.

The receiver will have to be really small for these bikes just an fyi. Besides a esc a 1/18th size battery pack too. I think the Venom is hard to beat for what you get and the quality of the bike.

Check out RCGroup's motorcycle section...
GPV-1 was awaited for a LONG time... Now it's everywhere!

Glad to hear it arrived for you..

You may want to move the ESC, and put more fasteners on the RX...
RX arrived falling out when it arrived..
