I finally caved and picked up one of the these over the holidays. The rider movement is one of the coolest things I’ve seen in RC.

I saw a little video of an RC bike the other day which was cool, but this rider feature is next level. Love it!

@Room335 - did not even know RC-Bike did exist, i would be interested in both seeing the build and you drive it :)

Me too! Hoping I can find the time to start this one soon.  @mr crispy did a build thread back in 2014 if you’re interested:
 

 

This was the video that sold me:

Matteo’s got one, then you know you will get some great filming :)

 

 

Wow, that is awesome! I bet it spends a lot of its time on the deck though. What's the tech that keeps it so balanced?

First time the postman had brought me anything important (but nothing RC related) since 23 December, an order I placed with 1999 during one of their sales, on 9 September last year. Arriving just 2 days shy of 4 months. Opened for (customs I believe) inspection but no "fines".

Front wheel is weighted creating a gyroscopic effect

I'd be interested in how grey the wheels are!

Fancied some of those for Audi body but they look a bit black from some photos.

Last spending for a while, we’ve just been told we are getting a water meter and our DDM for gas and electricity is jumping up by over 50% pm 🤦

I would definitely describe these as black and 51046 as grey 👍

My friends somehow managed to find a T-shirt with me written all over it.  It was a Christmas present.

Are those the ebay ones from China? I've been eyeing up a couple of those myself, how do you rate them? Is it a high quality print? Cheers

Yes from ebay.  I like them and will buy a few more for my garage.   Quality is good, nice matte finish.  Thumbs up

Finally, bits required to finish my 3R MG build.

Some 48p pinions and a low profile servo.

I’ve not had a chance to do anything with them, had this little fellow to build.
