I just got mine today. They're a blast. I'm a little disappointed that the training wheels don't have any suspension so the bike doesn't lean very much and tips over quite easily. The speed is great. The look is great. I love it! The sponsorship stickers are hilarious too.

Yep, I laughed out loud when I first saw them, my favorite is Boctate, it just sounds really funny! :D Let us know if you come up with any mods to allow the trainers to give more lean!

Well I don't really think this is a mod but taking off the rider helps tons in handling. I'm planning on drilling out some of the body of the rider to see if it'll help.

Yep, taking off the rider is a big help - has anyone experimented with strategically adding/removing weight elsewhere to improve handling?

I drilled out some of the rider last night in an attempt to improve performance.

All you need to do is pull the rider off the bike. Unclip the hands from the handle bar and pull the legs of the rider away from the gas tank...there's two small rubber/plastic pins that hold the rider to the tank so don't twist or you could end up ripping them. Then just pull apart the rider's lower half from the upper half. There's already a small cavity in the upper half of the body so all I did was put the rider in a towel, squeezed him a little in a bench vice to hold him firmly and took my handdrill and a small bit and began carefully removing his guts. Super glued the body back together and wah lah...instant motorcycle rider diet.

I can't honestly say that I see much of a difference in handling but with any r/c this small any weight savings helps. Plus a bike without a rider just doesn't look right.

Cool! What was the weight difference?

Honestly, I can't feel much of a difference when holding the rider in my hand. I didn't weigh rider either.

Law, they are much slower unless you do alot of modding, like a better motor, and making it lighter
