Author Message   Lake_bueller Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 03:36 pm:        Does anybody have one? Sound like a cool thing to have for the fun of it. They're at Toys R Us for $99. Selling on ebay for $150!!! Maybe a cool "pit toy" for track days You can race up to 4 ppl w/o interference.   BadS1 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 03:39 pm:        Dennis maybe I'll buy one of those Gixxer's.The insurance has to be dirt cheap.   M1combat Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 04:28 pm:        Is it a friction drive on the rear wheel or is that chain actually functional? Can they be converted to belt so I don't have to worry about the back getting all gunked up?   BadS1 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 04:30 pm:        I wonder if it will lay down enough to scrape the rider's pucks???LOL   Buells Rule! (Dyna in disguise) Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 04:57 pm:        I think its cool, but not for $99. Wait till after christmas & lets see what the price is.   Dsergison Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 05:07 pm:        freind here at work has a diesel (glow) powered bike. disk brakes, chain drive... more or less one of these. (but gas) (click on the pic right under stay up to date) http://rcvehicles.about.com/cs/rccars/a/neDucati999R.htm (Message edited by dsergison on December 07, 2004)   Lake_bueller Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 05:12 pm:        Available at Circuit City for $89.99 with free shipping. The one on their website (and the one I saw) is blue & white with a matching rider suit. I think Santa will be bring one just for sh!ts and grins. I'd love to have one of the gas powered but not at 4x the price   Bomber Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 05:41 pm:        I had access to a simlar device last year for a couple of weeks -- it caused me great embarassment to find I could barely make it down the driveway without scraping the pegs (and not on purpose) gave my women folk great joy to watch, needless to say   Bryguy269 Posted on Tuesday, December 07, 2004 - 09:50 pm:        i wonder if it would go fast enough that you'd have to countersteer it...lol   Dsergison Posted on Wednesday, December 08, 2004 - 12:04 am:        the gassers are stupid fast. as in "no lot large enough", 20-50mph real speed. they actually steer only by countersteer. they have a lot of trail in the fork geometry, and the servo linkage is "soft" with springs. it just nudges it over into a countersteer. there are usually wire hoops that will drag the ground at about 45deg lean angle. just enough traction it will actually take of from a tip over usually.   M1combat Posted on Wednesday, December 08, 2004 - 01:13 am:        I have a gas powered truck that does about 50 or so. Four wheel drive, sway bars at both ends... It generally out-handles the cars, but it should, the tires are three times as wide . OFNA Pirate 10 for those interested... I bought a race prepped (ported etc) O.S. .15 from Ebay. Runs REAL fast.
