Title: Remote control lawn mower?
Post by: tt_four on December 21, 2009, 08:37:15 PM
I was looking up some RC motorcycles online, and came across this thing....

It's supposed to be an ATV, haha, but I swear it's a riding lawn mower... http://www.hobbytron.com/X-ControlSuperATVRTRElectricRCCar.html haha


Aside from that... I've always wanted a real motorcycle with clear plastics and a clear gas tank like this RC one....

Anyone know anything about RC motorcycles? I've always wanted one. I used to have a cheap one when I was younger. It was fun but I wouldn't mind a nicer one that actually has some power to it. That's the kinda thing I'd spend $100 for on ebay someday, and end up getting some kinda junk some guy bought at toys r us for $25 because I don't know the difference, so I need to look into them for a while though.

well i dont know anything about RC motorcycles, but im pretty much and RC expert. ive been in the RC hobby for about 8 years, and ive been racing Nitro RC truggies and buggies for about 4 years. that motorcycle you pictured it only clear because it hasnt been painted yet, it looks like its nitro powered and sitting on a "starter stand", or as we call them for RC cars, a "bump box".



i know Kyosho makes some motorcycles, i think Tamiya does too. but if i were you, id look into Venom Racings motorcycles. they are electric and very easy to use. i you get a nitro powered RC motorcycle, or even a nitro RC car, and you need help tuning it or maintaining it, let me know. i can help ya out
