BULLSHIT its sold out already i didnt even have time to order

It's okay- it's second gear would've worn out anyway. :neener:

Speaking of which- SHE LIVES!!!

You were right about the solenoid. I bought a new (used) one today and BOOM she fired right up. The old one always was cranky- I had to hold the starter down for a while and it was about 50/50 to start on the first try.

I still think of Burntash and his Ninja wheelies.

 

[Pilotx1]

i think that ninja has an electrical problem... the headlight keeps flickering

 

[Pilotx1]

sweeeeet scheduled for delivery on 9-29-08, enough time to get it adn break in the tires for bike night

 

[Pilotx1]

So.... are we racing these at bike night this week?

mine is supposed to get delivered today

Nitro is better!

Had one of these for over a year. These nitro bikes make a great sound, but are a handful to steer. They are a full blown bike, just shrunk down. Dual disk brakes, mono shock swingarm and they react just like a motorcycle. Counter-steering then full throttle produces a nice wheelie out of corners when the tires are up to temp. Run it usually at a track in Joliet named "Leisurehoursraceway.com".

Venom is coming out with a new electric bike that should be delivery soon. They are $220, but should be awesome. You can find them at 2wheelhobbies.com along with other nitro bikes.

obviously nitro is better, but for low to mid double digits the fun factor, im hoping will be high, and once i get bored... well theres the hacking and modding possibilities, with nothing off the shelf to mod it, it shouldprovide a fun challenge

+1

I just want something I can have fun with and the cat can chase. That being said, the Nitro does look fucking awesome and would be a lot of fun.

Mine hasn't even shipped yet

 

[Pilotx1]

you buy yours from woot?

 

[SmartDrug]

Mine hasn't even shipped yet

How did you check?

 

[Noodles]

you buy yours from woot?

Yeah

How did you check?

They should send a confirmation email with a tracking number, at least that's what they've done before for me. Haven't gotten that yet, so I'm assuming it hasn't shipped.

 

[Pilotx1]

I think mine came with a rechargable battery too, did the one from woot inlude that?

The ones from Woot actually come with Tommy Hayden.

:neener:

 

[Pilotx1]

damn... i got hosed then

 

[Noodles]

I'm 90% sure that the Motorcycle itself comes with rechargeables, but the control is a 9V, which is included.

Oh yeah, and Tommy Hayden :neener:

 

[Pilotx1]

im not worried about the 9v, nor really the vehicle pack, ill try it out and see how it does, i know i wont be able to leave it in stock form for too long, but i will do my best to keep it so till we race

 

[Streaker]

If I crack and get one, I will set up a frickin road course in my garage for weekend events. $5 buy in, lap timers, and a keg from which a beer must be chugged every lap to make shit more interesting.


What do you clowns think??
