I just bought one of the choppers just to try one out. The performance and handling is not that bad. They are a little larger than the superslick cars. I tried one with both an original and SS FL transmitter and neither worked. Only the transmitter that came with the chopper worked even though it looks the same as the original superslick controller. The choppers are available on 27 and 49 mhz with no channel switch like the SS FL. That means that only two can run together at the same time like the original superslicks ( I assume). The interesting thing about the choppers is that the rear suspension works and they appear to have a multi-step (I counted 3) speed control with no reverse of course. The chopper comes with the green motor/green pinion gear combo.
The optional tuner kit comes with green pinion gear/orange motor combo, front wheel, front fender, replacement belt, gas tank and seat/rear fender. The tuner kit is available in several colors. By the way, the "foot pegs" are used to keep the chopper upright when it is not running forward. Unlike some toy rc motorcycles, the chopper only moves forward when the transmitter trigger is pulled on the controller and coasts to a stop when the trigger is realeased. Some toy cycles are always running forward and you only have steering control.
I personally prefer real sportbikes over choppers so I may try to modify one of these and shorten the front fork to make it look sportier.
