Atomik MM450 Dirtbike
Well I got an MM450 dirtbike on trade to try something new. Turns out these things are a blast. Smile from ear to ear while running the very large dirt bike. For some that are not familiar with the bike it is 1/4 scale, making it the largest bike I have seen to date. These are equiped with an electric gyro in the rear wheel, this makes it very easy to run compared to most R/C bikes. Best part about this particular dirtbike, you can run it just about anywhere. This is something that can't be done with onroad race bikes.
After only having it for one week and getting to run it only one time I have since ordered a second bike! I want to enjoy this experience with some of my friends and family. If one of something is fun than two is twice as much fun.
This one now has several upgrades on it along with some custom painting and decals. I have added the front brake, chain adjusters, micro chain, big bore shock, triple tree clamps, upgraded bearing, front axle, and balanced the flywheel. All of these are definately my choice, the bike runs very well without any of them.
This is a new part of the hobby for me that has really caught my attention. I ride full scale bike and use to do alot of offroad riding in my younger years. Now I can have the thrill and stay out of the hospital. If your looking for that something different in R/C than maybe try one of these!

I decided to make a rock crawler
Decided there was a cool part of the hobby that I wanted to explore, Rock Crawling. I love to build and fabricate, so these are the right choice for me. I have had alot of fun building this truck, even though it is not quite done yet. I started with an Axial SCX10 and ran from there. I think I ended up using the frame rails and the rear end housings!
I added a DIG unit on the front axle so I can run it in 2WD or 4WD just as in full scale. I plan to get some high quality pictures in its envirenment soon, along with some video of it crawling.

My new bike!
Just wanted to post pictures of my new bike. The bike is mostly Nuova Faor with aftermarket brakes, tires, and rider. I am running a 6.5 Novak motor and Novak GTB 2 ESC. Digital servos and a Futaba 2.4 Fasst radio are in control.
Bikes are fairly new for me and I don't see giving them up anytime soon. These add a whole new excitement to the hobby.
