Will the stock ESC handle a brushless motor? I know it should handle a lipo battery.

BTW just got a GPV-1 yesterday - sale at my LHS £99 just HAD to buy it! :)

Bargain! the kit ESC is not that good, sling it away and fit something with better brakes, whether brushed or brushless.

Des, Just got my second GPV-1 but we have snow right now in NY state. I plan to run it at the local track once they finish the renovations. New owners. I'll post videos once we get them taken.

Cool, yeah pretty wet and cold here too, looking forward to the new BRCA Bike season now we have 1/5th and 1/8th bikes competing.

I keep debating it,maybe I should just buy one.........

Have you got any 1/10th tarmac circuits near you, if so go along and test it properly, works best on smooth tarmac, It's a race bike after all!

Are GPV-1 still aloud on the track?

Cheers - any recommendations? Any websites for hints and tips on RC biking? OK I'm not looking to race at the moment - just a fun RC toy to whizz around a car park, AND I need to get used to it, but I'd like to get to grips with the setup etc. same as what I do with my RC helicopter.

Yeah 1/5th handle bumps better than 1/8th which need a real smooth circuit or clean carpark to work well.

7,2V?

Im thinking about buying a bike, and i got recommended 1/5 scale since they are not so sensitive about bumps. agreed?

get a small steel arc on the swing arm( wheelie bar) and you can wheelie all day without no worries about flipping it around.
