Nuova Faor SF506 RC Motorcycle

[Blacklamass]

Man you need some more power in that!

[Batoidea]

Blacklamass - Trust me there is no lack of power in this bike. It can easily hit 50 mph or more, but then we wouldn't be able to turn. As in a real bike you have to force it to turn and if you never slow down you will just go straight or topple over. These are difficult to maneuver compared to a normal RC vehicle.

[Blacklamass]

If you adjust the steering by adding the stiffer springs in the steering damper it will turn at speed, I know you have to slow down to turn but in this vid you are not showing what the bike can do in a straight line, I run mine on a 7700kv and 2 cell lipo and is very fast.

@Batoidea

I've viewed many vids but still can't understand how they turn in. How do you get them to lean over one side instead of just flipping over when you steer. Does it have some sort of weight transfer or is it just the wonders of a special steering geometry. What gets them to tilt sideways! I'm astonished, I'm supposed to be a mechanics guru and this has me wondering far too much.

[Batoidea]

corotor12345 - The physics are the same as a real motorcycle or bicycle. For an example, get on your bike and build up some speed. Now without leaning your body steer the bike to the left; the bike will now bank to the right and go right. It is counter intuitive which is why you have to try it. You steer left to go right and steer right to go left. This only happens when you are going fast. What you are doing is removing the forward stabilization and causing it to bank left or right for a turn.

[corotor12345]

Thanks. I guess once you've turned it over you can steer the right way and tighten your radius? Anyways, I want to custom build one of these... and I've been considering studying the effects of gyros' and weight transfer to more effectively control the bike. That way I can lean it in as I turn the right way and not countersteering away.

[CaseyCCL]

@Batoidea The physics aren't exactly the same, for example on my R6 i turn right to go left, however you do not do that on a rc bike. you cant use counter steering a bike because you can not give pressure to your handlebars, its sheer gyro leaning.

[Batoidea]

@CaseyCCL - The physics are exactly the same. The steering servo is the same as you putting pressure on the handlebars. When I turn the handlebars to the right, the bike goes to the left. Get our your rc bike and try this. You might be thinking about the bikes that just move weight and use the gyroscopic forces to make the bike turn. The Nuova Faor bikes and many others actually use a servo move the handlebars. Thanks for posting.

[CaseyCCL]

@Batoidea Np, i am just talking about rc bikes, i got a rc toy which works like a typical car. Im sure your correct about the Nuova Faor Bikes.

[0boy00]

how the hell do these things work? do they have some thing to keep them level or do you have to balance it your self?

[ConsumerFanatics]

It's called physics. Same laws apply to real motorcycles.

[Batoidea]

0boy00 - As ConsumerFanatics said they do wok just like real bikes, but have skid bars on the side to keep you from leaning the bike to far which can cause you to spin out and damage the body. With practice you can also wright the bike when it has fallen over.

[adrianrubi]

is this better than the bentech superbikes? so these are quicker than rc cars?

[Batoidea]

adrianrubi - I have never dealt with the bentech bikes but they look nice. When it comes to speed it all comes down to gearing and the engine. The hard part with the bikes is then slowing them down before the next curb. You cant make a sharp turn going to fast.

[skunkapunka]

damn where is the wheelies???

[Batoidea]

skunkapunka - These can easily wheelie, but then you can't turn. Also they can do it so fast that you completely topple over and damage the rear exhaust. More of a finesse to driving these then any other RC vehicle.

[795skippy]

are they fast and whats its top speed

[Batoidea]

795skippy - They are fairly fast reacing upwards of 40-50 mph depending on engine, but rememebr you have to slow way down to turn. They can't do turns like rc cars, and part of the finess with them is making it through a course. Thanks for watching and posting.

[utah65]

like to ask where can i get a 506 kit from online besides got nitro , 2 wheel hobbies because they are out of stock on this particular ones .

[FIERRO187]

how much do they cost

[Batoidea]

FIERRO187 - They range in cost from 300 - $800 US depending on manufacturer, propulsion type, and handling characteristics. Thanks for watching.

[FIERRO187]

whoa thats alot

[mypw80mobbin]

nice music

[markdavid801]

Really cool!!

I had one of these a few years ago but I had a really hard time keeping an idle.

[Batoidea]

markdavid801 - These are a lot of fun, and todays engines run beautifully. The original motorcycles also had steering problems, but it has all been figured out. You should get one again :) Thanks for the comment.

[markdavid801]

I'm really considering it again!

I forgot to mention, keeping it upright was also hard. I didnt understand countersteering back then but now since I have real bikes, I may give it another shot :)

Cheers!

[abrisam46]

it cannot do wheelie....better u play rc car same as well

[Batoidea]

Abrisam46 - they can wheelie, but what is the point? I guess it is best that you do play with cars :)

[adamlyon]

What's the song in the video? These things are baddd! I want to get one and paint it to match my 05 Kawasaki 636 :)

[Batoidea]

adamlyon - The song is from 36 crazyfists; called bloodwork. The motorcycles are a ton of fun.

[milforddbrider22]

are these easier to maintaine then cars/trucks for nitro

[Batoidea]

Milfordbrider22 - Maintaining a rc vehicle depends n your skill and recklessness. Motorcycle crash more than cars strictly because they are on 2 versus 4 wheels. Depending on your speed and what you are trying to do it can add up in busted parts. The bikes are built tough and things usually don't break. On that note I have repaired my motorcycle 3X more than my Savage 25 in the same time period.

[zac4th]

is that gas powered and if so were did u get it thanks

[temppa94]

whats the song name??

[bettabgood]

open up that throttle boys

[Batoidea]

bettabgood - RC bikes have to be able to handle the speed through the corners which is difficult. They go plenty fast for real life control. Grab one yourself and you will see. Thanks for watching.

[Brian3219]

how much does this cost and where did you get it

[Batoidea]

Brian321- The 506 bikes run around $739, the 501's range depending on setup ($450-620). You can get these online depending on location. In the US the best place in online stores. Thanks for watching and posting.

[anatanium]

how could it balance??? what are the moving parts on it is it just the acceleration of the wheels and the left right movement of the front wheel or there is a moving part inside the toy wich maintains its balance??

[Batoidea]

anatanium - The bikes operate the same way a real motorcycle does. In the turns the bike does bank and needs proper acceleration to maintain forward movement and balance. You can get more information from a few website and rc motorcycle forums or send me a pm and I can answer more questinos. Thanks for watch my video. I hope to get more up soon.

[j0k3r7]

hey batoidea where u buy them?

[Brian3219]

2wheelhobbies dot com

but they are super expensive just to warn you

[Batoidea]

Thanks for the comment. This was my friends bike that we were playing with one day. I will have more video clips up soon of the same bike and maybe a SF501.

[Dragonstud]

nice paint .i have one of these 506,s and there gr8 fun much better than cars and boats..
