That's looks like a ton of fun! I like how they right themselves if you get them leaned over too far. Sweeping corners and on a wet surface - WOW! I had no idea such an r.c. vehicle existed. Sweet track!

the really sad thing would be to riding a real sized bike and get lapped by one of those.

Not sure how these work but I had an electric one made by Royal that had a 7.2v battery pack down underneath.

It acted like a counter weight thus providing the counter steering.

I would assume these use something similar. Though not sure if these were electric or gas in the video.

i have been following these for awhile, most are still electric, now brushless, monster torque!

most run a type of gyro stabilizer, either powered or just a weight that spins inside the rear wheel to give some stability.

there are some really cool gas powered ones too, seen one that a guy made, a pocket bike with RC control.... sick!!!
