mini RC Superbike is too fast!!

Code: TALBOT 

This is my fun channel, you'll find everything hobby related, rc cars, monster trucks, supercars, destruction and a bit of business stuff :) Although a lot of my videos are RC Car videos you will also see other stuff like business, Amazon FBA, eBay, Monster truck, Cars, insurance and many other topics.

I think a gyro would do wonders to stabilize the bike.

[davemorris]

On a similar size kyosho I had years ago the insert in the front tyres was a steel band and it acted as a gyro when the front wheel was spinning. Then when you steered the steering fought against the gyro to try and stay upright. Just wondering if you could make something similar for this bike

[foxracerdrew]

Had a Kyosho 1/14 with hang on rider back in the day, really fun. I'd imagine you'd find it a little easier with a gyro with a soft setting. But like most are saying, the emphasis of an RC motorcycle is less on steering and more to do with throttle control, you can still run a bike with epa's/DR all the way down to give you the flick you need to start the lean then practise throttle control. And yea, you really need a big flat area to run them, even the tiny pocket racers like the mini-z motorcycle, speaking relatively.

I have a thunder tiger SB-5, I was driving like you for a while before I figured it out. biggest thing is, a set of good tires make a world of difference. My stock tires were foamy and pretty much unusable; the bike would spin out and flip with the slightest throttle. Sensored ESC and motor also makes throttle imput more managable without having to compensate with transmitter programing. Lastly just practice, know the bike uses the tires as a gyroscopic effect so the slower you go the less stability, you should be able to pick the bike up from a stand still on the skid bars by turning away while trottling and then into the turn at speed. My bike is 1/5 so im sure its not quite the same as theese small ones, but they are a lot of fun once you get the hang of them.

I mastered it kind of quickly. You have to build speed on the straights and let off the throttle completely before diving the bike into the turn and then give it power again on the exit. Power makes the bike stand up which is why you don’t want it on the entry and do want it on the exit. Just like a real bike.

On the Kyosho after some experience I removed the front wheel weight and side bars. It was a little more difficult to drive and no more self starting But faster and more enjoyable. So adding some weight in the front wheel this tiny new one should be better. Happy New Year to you all. Ciao Nanni

[mrmr]

as some people have said you need the ability to lean with weight, imagine leaning left right, over the bars and fender, having a mix, or on demand switch for low speed maneuvers/counter steering, drift modes, ability to wheelie and possibly use the rc riders weight . its a hope and a dream, if a community is made with open source software, like what happened to race quads, I could see it happening. it would suck to crash and blow out like 4 servos and linkages on the rider XD

Suddenly theirs a small army of old boys tinkering with this tiny little toy, awesome what great sports I'd love a shop like that local to

[sofloflow]

Problem is, you don't steer a motorcycle by turning the handlebar. They should make it weight / balance based & have a servo swing a weight to either side for turns. Maybe making it in a larger scale would help too.

Happy New Year Kev!!
As someone that has both small and large 1/5 scale bikes too, I've found the smaller they are, the harder they are to use.
That little bike is a work of art. Needs a super smooth surface that still affords some grip like a basketball court. Very smooth throttle and steering inputs. you don't need much steering throw either.
Shorten your stabilizers a little and ease into turns by backing off the throttle, turning (countersteer at speed and normal steering when going slow....That's why they can be challenging!!) and then accelerating out smoothly.
It's all about being smooth with the controls.
They are epic once you get the hang of them and of course having a huge flywheel in the back wheel helps tremendously!!

The old ones had free floating handlebars and used the 2S as a weight. When you turn it moved the battery from side to side. Worked great.

[whitepawrolls]

The last time I had an r/c motorcycle it had no steering on the front wheel itself. Instead it used the weight of the battery in the bottom to shift the weight, and the front steering free pivoted. Very easy to drive that one :)

[dustinwilson]

Might need to reverse the steering. When you go fast on a bike the bars go right to lean the bike left and turning the bars left leans the bike right.

[wheelsdownrc]

Claire’s laugh when you tumble wumble is so 💯 genuine 🤣…

[glennmaxfield]

Look at counter steering on the model. On a real bike you push the right handle bar slightly to turn right which is effectively is steering the bike left forcing it to lean to the right. I know this sounds confusing but it's how it works. To turn left you PUSH the left handlebar which in effect is steering the bike to the right forcing it to lean to the left. If you use this method when riding you are almost leaning into the turn by pushing the relevant handle bar. If you have set the steering servo to turn left as you turn left on the wheel it will turn opposite to what you want. Also there needs to be hardly any movement needed to make the turn so hardly any throw is needed on the servo. Just a hint of a turn will do. They are not like cars.

[griffonwings]

Kev, thank you for another incredible year ! Cheers to all .

[frankensteincreations]

Was always told it has to have a mechanical gyro to stay upright… 👍

[ItzTheDay]

RC bikes are tricky. You want to avoid steering under power and you need to counter steer once the bike leans in the turn. That small scale will really require a lot of skill.

[williamcounter]

I wonder if an ESC with stability control would help? Or a gyro. Thanks for the video.

[davidhiscock]

Both the bikes are really cool . The mini one looks to be real nice quality
