Duratrax DXR500

DXR500 1/5 electric RC on-road motorocycle from DuraTrax (AKA Anderson R5). I purchased this bike from Tower Hobbies in December 2012.

To begin with, I replaced the stock Dean's connector with XT-60. The battery holder holds my ProTek 7.4V5000mAh 40C hardcase Li-Poly pack well.

driving:

Very very stable, easy to drive for the built-in gyroscope in the rear wheel. This is my second RC bike and the vid bellow shows my second driving.

tips:

-How to start: lift up the rear wheel from the ground, pull the throttle slightly to start gyro, then release the bike. Your bike will go straight, no steering trim adjustment will be required.
-Keep the turn radius large until you get used to the handling. It is highly recommended to drive your bike at large flat open space, such as an empty parking lot.
-The bike does not stop immediately. Be careful not to collide with curb and so on.
-If your bike turns over left or right, apply the opposite steering control and pull the trigger short. Then the bike recovers and you will keep on driving.
