SKYRC SR5 1/4 Scale Super Rider RC Motorcycle sk700001 RTR
A part of the review has been auto-translated.
Just received this bike, while I love the size, design and how made this bike is. The packing was horrible, the entire bike was filthy dirty, took 2 hours just to clean it before I could even check it out. Comes with a 3000mah nimh, but I can tell I am going to like the 2200mah lipo I got for it instead. I silicone lubed all the moving parts after I had cleaned them all up. Cant wait to try this bad boy out once the weather cools down a bit here. went ahead an ordered me a turnigy 3300mah 30c 7.4 lipo for it.
Great piece of kit but a few weak points. I bought a big 3S LiPo and used that first. Big mistake, the bike was so quick and uncontrollable that I snapped off the rear mudguard on the very first takeoff! Use the stock battery initially to allow you to develop some finesse. Then go to a LiPo. Screws come undone easily - so threadlock what you can. Bits fall off. THe wheelie bar bends. THe rider's head breaks too easily and both legs have snapped at the knees. THe ESC comes loose too as it's only taped on. THe front forks "knock" a lot with no damping. However, once you get to grips with it, it's amazing fun. Build a few jumps and you can get huge air, flip over several times then stand the bike up vertically and fly off again. Never gets old..... Hardpack dirt or tarmac are best but you can use it on grass though the bike won't flip back on to its wheels very often. You can soon learn to tweak the throttle before it lays down and keep it going.
