TTR6529F  FM-1E 1/5 on Road Motobike Kit

Thunder Tiger introduces the kit that took RC motorcycles to the
mainstream, the FM-1e electric motorcycle. Clad in Yamaha R1
style bodywork with a realistic looking vinyl ride.

Specification:
 Length: 440mm / 17.3 in.
 Width: 180mm / 7 in.
 Height: 285mm / 11.2 in.
 Wheelbase: 295mm / 11.6 in.
 Weight: 1,967 g. / 4.3 lbs (RTR)
 Motor: 540 required

The FM-1e's construction is very car-like and is built almost entirely out of 2mm aluminum plate. Plastic standoffs turn the flat plates into a boxy structure with three primary sections: front suspension bulkhead, rear subframe and main chassis.

A lexan tray beneath the main chassis holds a full-size, 6 cell battery pack, and a thick machined-aluminum mount centers your choice of 540-size motor in the frame for proper balance. A shelf built into the rear subframe holds the receiver, and a plastic bridge that joins the left and right chassis plates also serves as the steering servo mount. The realistic bodywork and lifelike rider figure make the FM-1e a treat to watch in action, and the bike is full of technical details that make it a "serious" motorcycle.
