Project Micro Cycle.

Stampedekid · #1 01-18-2008, 09:45 PM

My first REAL build. Gonna build a very small scale Micro RC Motorcycle, gonna start tomorrow. Probably going to run off of mostly Zip Zap parts. I already have a few bases to use, just gotta decide which I like best. Why a motorcycle? I don't own an RC version of one yet

. Expect some updates tomorrow, I won't be posting as much tomorrow do to this build. Pictures later of the body I will use and Mock ups. Gotta get a new ZZ to use as parts.(The antenna came off my current one, my dad's going to get a cold-heat solder tomorrow.(we need a new one, other one is really really old.)

Update!
Started doing some mock ups. I might just take out the pull back motor and stick a Zip Zap motor in there. Which body do you guys like best? The chopper has more room, but the racer looks cooler. Remember, this is my first REAL build. I had a spare ZZ battery laying around.

Pics now.

Cool project, ill go witht he chopper i like it the best and has more room since its ur first try at it it would be easier too.

Would it be steerable?

Well, I still have to find a Micro Servo and how to get it running. Probably just going to use Zip Zaps concepts with the metal power. As for the board, not sure yet. I might have to use a slightly larger scale cycle. Stay tuned, next project is a Solar RC.

Why not use one of those Maisto bikes? There not that much bigger abd already have a somewat steering system...

Well this one can turn. I can't give up. Most likely using the Chopper, it turns farthest. Plus, I won't need to make it belt driven. it has gears from the pull back motor which I am removing later. I might go a slightly larger scale, but then I would have to drop by the LHS and buy Micro T/B/DT parts.(motor, battery, board) so IDK

The HS-50 feather servo is ULTRA small.
You would have to cut some stuff out, though.
This might be harder, as it's a 2-wheeler...

I need a bigger motor, the ZZ one is fried.
