mini RC Superbike is too fast!!

[@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.

[@natevanderloon9060]

Also at low speeds you would steer with the turn and at higher speeds you would slightly counter steer to initiate the lean that would be really hard to pull off in rc just not natural unless you are on the bike

[@johnc21turbo]

motorcycles are steered by the steering try going round a corner with no hands, you'll find it's push pull on the bars not lean....you steer the opposite way you wish to go.

[@RorysRCbashing]

Yes

[@bobbydisco2146]

At low speeds you absolutely do turn with the handlebars

[@davemorris6747]

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

[@rosslenoir4373]

i had one too. it worked quite well. this thing should used for target practice

[@cyberbillp]

@@rosslenoir4373 Yea, I had one too. It ran great, you could hit jumps with it and everything. I don't know why this one is so bad. I recall the Eleck Rider had a pivot so the front wheel would kick out left or right to turn. I think the steering wasn't actually connected to anything. The kick out twist made the bike lean and turn. It didn't turn fast, but it was smooth.

[@mrmr3621]

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

[@atuned85]

That second bike was nice! But it needs moar powaah! ^^

[@professorvoluck9311]

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.

[@mossyhollow3732]

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.

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.

[@DanielpazTQ]

That supermotard looks fun. Haha

[@steveblackbird]

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!!

[@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.

[@riothero313]

Ironically that's just like a real bike. Most people don't understand you just lean the thing to turn and put pressure on the outside grip to counter steer. People think you actually turn the bars to steer lol.

[@ItzTheDay]

@@riothero313 Correct, just like a real bike.

[@HalfdeadRider]

@@riothero313 You clearly don't understand either, you counter-steer above around 15mph, you steer with the bars or clip-ons either way, you can't steer by leaning alone, well you won't be getting around any bends anyway. Leaning just helps the bike turn in a bit quicker, and you don't need to hang your arse off the seat and throw a knee down either, but of course that helps at very high speeds on track 😎

[@TheSteinbitt]

@@riothero313 Ironically, you do t understand it either😂

[@OB_fox]

Happy new year everyone 🎉

[@glennmaxfield6618]

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.

Hiya Kev. First I would like to wish you a Happy New Year. Hope 2023 is a good one. I wouldn't recommend De Agostini! It's a very expensive way to build a kit. I built a nitro car a while ago. I think it worked out to be around £500. The only upside is that you knew every inch of your model. Eventually, the gearbox broke and De Agostini couldn't get me a replacement as they had discontinued the model. Work it out money-wise for yourself.

increase driving wheel weight for more gyro effect disconnect servo from actual steering , or connect it in such a way that max servo output does change the servo saver, but moves the steering only by a bear minimum (not sure how that would be done) increase weight on the servo saver at the point away from the center so you have weight to throw the bike around

[@jacobrodriguez6536]

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.

It is a shame that radio controlled motorcycle racing hasn't taken off. One can't even find a KZbin channel dedicated to it like FPV quadcopter racing. It is weird that FPV cameras haven't been added to the racing motorcycles where the drivers use FPV goggles. This would remove the need for line-of-site control. Additionally, retractable outrigger landing gear could be added to the motorcycles like the Peraves MonoRacer (MonoTracer) to keep the motorcycle upright when stopped. It can also assist in righting the motorcycle when on its side, with the gear retracted. There are videos on KZbin showing this: "The Peraves EcoMobile - Discovery Beyond 2000 (1994)" and "The Peraves EcoMobile - Discovery Invention (1991)".
