I break shit ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() I couldn't pass up on getting a second Atomik MM 450 dirtbike to turn into a Supermoto bike. I got the ARTR version this time. Here's a couple quick pics after I mounted the new Supermoto tires, Atomik chain tensioner and added a couple stickers. I also have the Atomik front brake that I will be installing next. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by badger; 01-15-2013 at 11:02 AM. |

| ![]() I'm doing the same thing with my older Venom 450 bike. I saw an e-gyro conversion kit for $117.00. The supermoto looks awesome badger. Have you guys checked out on youtube the world rc bikes for electric and nitro...RC-Bike Worlds Nitro-Finale 2011 Lostallo... absolutely crazy;) |

![]() I don't mind the tips at all, I appreciate you taking the time to give us tips. ![]() I attached 2 photos of my setup to give you an idea of what I'm doing. Try not to laugh. Quote:
I loaned my camera to a friend of mine and just got it back late last night, I'll shoot some pics with the rider on the bike today. Last edited by badger; 01-12-2013 at 11:43 AM. | ||

Newbie | ![]() I have no clue what does/doesnt look good for a studio and just seeing you have all those lights and background made me impressed. Wish I had the $ for that. Pics look pro to me. Im curious, with the camera you have (dont know what it is but saw the lens your using so its nice Im sure) and the little studio setup, is photography a hobby your looking to get into, for website purposes, or just for fun? I noticed on facebook Atomik ate those pics up. I knew they would lol. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy. |

I built the photo studio (many versions of it) over the last several years because I always wanted to take good pictures for what every build I'm working on for my websites (RCCrawler, RCShortCourse and here). Only since I got my new camera have really been interested in the 'photography' thing. Last edited by badger; 01-15-2013 at 11:03 AM. | ||

Newbie | ![]() Thanks for sharing. Photos just need your rclargescale.com graphic (like down in corner) of your pics, or do like rc car action and have a sticker somewhere so it cant be taken out, like the fork covers lol. ;) |

I break shit ![]() ![]() ![]() | ![]() Took the supermoto bike out today for the first time with Derek. I cut the nylon wire guides shorter and bent them up as JohnnyMc suggested but I forgot to take the foot pegs off so I ended up cutting most of them off with my pocket knife. After running the bike for a little bit the rear tire seem to break in which allowed me to get a full on drift going with the steering at full opposite lock, man was it sick looking! This wore through the nylon guides fairly quick and by the end of the session both sides were wore thin and broke at the mount. It was cool to see the rear tire wearing only on the sides and not in the middle. ![]() Need to swap out the stock pinion for 2 teeth higher as I did with my dirtbike, it seems to top out to quick and has plenty of low end power to sacrifice with the taller gearing. Hope to take my camera out next time to try and capture the killer looking drift action. ![]() |

Newbie | ![]() Sorry my suggestions caused some damage on your bike badger. You mentioned your running nylon. I run 1/4" 6/6 nylon but Im on dirt and yeah it wears pretty quick on street. I have another idea for you to consider to replace side bars with: create rollers instead. Some of the 1/5 street bikes run rollers specifically made for those bikes, which are typically wheels mounted on ends of a nylon bar coming ou of one crash bar mount. However, I have a youtube channel with about at least 160 rc dirt bike videos and one buddy of mine created his own rollers for the vmx. You might get some ideas from this video: |

Thanks for the tip on the rollers, I don't think I will be doing that just because IMO it doesn't look that good, I would rather replace the plastic guides every battery then have training wheels on. ![]() I took the bike out again late yesterday and unfortunately after about 2/3's of the battery the e-gyro just stopped working. The gyro's ESC looks like it's going through the startup procedure with the red LED blinking at first then the green LED starts blinking and about 20-30 seconds later the green LED goes solid, meanwhile the e-gyro is not spinning up at all. I just submitted a support ticket with Atomik, hopefully I can get it replaced fairly quick. Edit, forgot to mention that I took the rear wheel apart to look at the gyro and everything looks normal, spins freely and all connections look solid. Also, red your tip on the e-gyro red spacer, great article. ![]() Thanks again for all your tips and advice on your awesome site. ![]() Last edited by badger; 01-17-2013 at 03:56 PM. | |

Newbie | ![]() Thanks for the kind words, it means a lot. Except for a core group of guys from rcgroups, I dont really hear any input on site. I see page views increase which is nice, but must of the input is on facebook. Its all for helping the hobby. ;) I purchased the atomik nylon guards and they were too soft for my dirt bike (this is back in the days of vmx450 and mechanical gyro). So I bored those spare nylon crash bar mounts out to 1/4" and purchased some 6/6 nylon rod by the foot at like 10ft for maybe $10 shipped. That will extend life of bars, but they are thicker so they dont flex like the atomik ones do.
