Honda Ricky Carmichael Radio Shack RC nitro project part 1

I bought a Ricky Carmichael, Honda CR r/c dirtbike off e bay for about £50. It's great, but a bit slow. It's also far too reliable, easy to start, far to neat and clean and nowhere near noisy enough. So I intend to fit it with a VX .18 (3cc) nitro engine. This engine has come from a Protech truck I also bought off e bay for £50. I intend to break it up and sell it all apart from the radio gear, the engine, and some of the gearbox cogs. In this video I've started stripping the bike and I've taken the engine out of the truck. There is also a bit of footage of the bike in action in it's stock form!

can u buy it all built...and is it hard to keep the engine tuned

[wonderfulcat]

No, you have to build it yourself. The engine is a pain to tune, but if you are not into fiddling with engines, don't have nitro engined rc models for a hobby!
