ARX 540 Flat-tracking

I was running my ARX 540 dirt bike at Sun Valley's new dirt oval with a couple of modded Rickys and Irving and his nitro Ricky

The ARX is the one that was ACTUALLY making full laps on the track...

These seem really top heavy compared to the lower priced models like the Duratrax DX450..

@phreaktor1 The Duratrax is nice... the rider is Lexan so it's not as heavy on top as these... also, this isn't the ideal surface for the tires these bikes come with... they need fuzzys or step-pin type tires for this dry, slippery, hard-packed stuff... these larger bikes work VERY well on grass and high-traction dirt with a little depth to it... the big knobbies need something to grab onto... also the ARX now has an electronic brushless gyro, so it's ROCK-solid at all speed and surfaces too

not trying to talk shit but imo rc dirtbikes suck. They are not fast and they are very clumbsy.

@Jsparrow350 They've gotten better... My ARX has a brushless gyro in it now and it rocks... and now I also have the Venom bike and it's really good too... you just have to know how to set them up and how to drive them... and you have to know your surfaces... once the surface become slippery, the bikes wobble to compensate because of the self0centering steering and the forces against the gyro.... when there is traction, the bikes are actually pretty good now

@Jsparrow350 Also... just being able to drive an RC motorcycle on dirt AT ALL is a bonus

@phreaktor1 i agree the anderson M5 is a great bike as well and it has no trouble at all staying up and has plenty of power its still fast and only like 260 bucks on ebay they are nice when the arx540 cost 1000 or more

@akura2 The Venom VMX with the new steel Gyro is a BIG hit. Just use tire glue on the spur cover and you can go through mud water etc. Way cool scale bike

@akura2

So true...
