Can somebody post a picture of the bike alongside a Mini-Z car? I know they are of different scale, but I'd still like to see how they display together.

Just opened my moto today and tried to negotiate it around on RCP. WOW! It's hard! I tried o turn the gyro's up, nd then down.....no luck. Which is recommended? I understand the driving technique is different, but does nobody have any suggestions?

Reaper,

Any chance I could get an after shot of the battery, I'd like to figure out where I went wrong.

Rcp will be a challendge , not because of the surface just the width ,

The off power gyro set high will be easier to learn with,but when you get faster it stops the bike tipping in. I'd recommend having it set to max until you get the hang of it.

Anyone else experiencing the moto getting locked into a turn? In that it takes forever for it to get out of a steep slow turn if your turning the wheel the opposite direction. I think its the wire, not sure if related to issue I found, or its a tad too small. I realize the wire is acting as a saver and the "leeway" a two wheel drive vehicle needs. Again though, wondering it its still a tad too flexy.

Maybe Atomic or other can come up with something? Some type of dampening and softer tires would be nice as well. Would help reduce that jiggle the moto exhibits trying to upright itself.

Also, wish there was a way to turn off the gyro completely from remote.

No issue with the steering lock yet (fingers crossed). I have had a couple other minor issues though. Gyro issues when I first put the battery in and then a battery connector came lose both simple quick fixes. This thing is a blast to drive. Much easier to drive than my venom 1:8th bike.

I noticed after a few hard front end collisions, the caster on the bike got knocked back. The front wheel was so far back it rubbed the fender. I just pulled it out again and it was fine.
