Remote Control Bike

Remote Control Bike  - Kyosho HONDA NSR500

A Remote Control Bike is the epitome of excitement when it comes to radio controlled toys and models. There are many things that an RC Car or RC Truck brings to the table but nothing can match the kind of excitement that comes in from running a Remote Control Bike. Whether you are someone who likes to race these models against your friends, be a part of the competitive racing scene or is only interested in the bits where you put a model-kit together for your display shelf, the Remote Control Bike will open up a whole new world of possibilities that cannot be matched by any other kind of RC model or toy.

The Remote Control Bike has been a late-entrant into the RC market and it is quite understandable when you consider the whole concept behind these models. Take RC Cars for example - they are mostly of the same size and once you have the parts, like motors or control surfaces, for one, you can easily build another. What's more, you can take the RC Car's parts and easily put them into a boat, creating the RC Boat for hobbyists. When it comes to planes, the concept is, once again, quite similar although things have had to be scaled up. That said, the general design consider, RC Robot Toys remains the same - the size increases along with some minor design checkout, Nitro RC Boat changes to fit the size of the RC Plane.

A Remote Control Bike, however, is different in that it is smaller and has a lot less room consider, Gas Powered RC Boat for engines and control surfaces. You cannot hide everything within the body of the model, like you can do with RC Cars, boats and planes, which means that you need to come up with a whole new concept for the design. try, RC Quadcopter Plans What's more, you have to change have a look at, Radio control Boats the chassis too, something that you do not have to do when working with RC Cars and Trucks or even boats. Taking into account all these changes, why not visit, RC Thunder Tiger it is not surprising that the RC manufacturing industry took as much time as it did to come up with these models of the Remote Control Bike.

How the Remote Control Bike started off

Evolution of all radio controlled toys and models, including the Remote Control Bike, have been along a similar path. also see, RC Mini Boats First, you look at the real-world vehicle that you would like to emulate and then, you start designing it. The problem with the Remote Control Bike was that the shape of the bike meant that manufacturers why not visit, RC Nitro Off Road would need to create the chassis and body-work from scratch. That meant, new tools, why not visit, Robotic Toys moulds and machines that were designed, specifically, to serve just one kind of model - the Remote Control Bike.

For most manufacturers, why not visit, RC Slow Flyers the risk of entering such a market became too high to pursue, and they stuck to things that worked - cars, boats, planes and trucks. However, things began to change also see, Radio Controlled Boat when the demand for a Remote Control Bike began to surface. People, especially experienced hobbyists, started making some on their own and others, who had no option but to buy something that someone else has made, started flocking at their doors. also see, Robotic Toys It became a unique situation where manufacturing of these models was down to some individual hobbyists, not seasoned manufacturers. checkout, RC German Panther

At this time, the Remote Control Bike was made with cheap materials, poor-quality plastics consider, RC Spitfire and some elementary methods helped them stay upright - like balancing-rods that stuck-out on either side, preventing the Remote Control Bike from toppling over during turns. These, while not efficient or attractive, were the only option people had until there came a major wave with manufacturers , Military RC Planes entering the fray.

The Wired and Infrared Remote Control Bike Series

Again, like the RC Car world, the Remote Control Bike technology was kicked off with the cheapest forms of technology - wired bikes. You could buy a model that had the remote, but since the messages to the model were sent over a wire, you had to walk checkout, Radio Controlled Modelling behind your Remote Control Bike and move it around without letting the wire get tangled. As these bikes started selling across stores, manufacturers have a look at, Team Losi moved to the infrared world of the Remote Control Bike and soon, you could have a wireless version of your favourite Remote Control Bike, without really pushing the limits.

On the design-front, things were still quite abysmal, with manufacturers have a look at, Radio control Boats making the bikes functional more than attractive. The attraction was the two-wheel vehicle itself, not the quality of the vehicle or the way it ran. It stayed upright, still, with the help of those ungainly rods that stuck-out and the model was still not anywhere near the level of RC Cars that were being manufactured at the time.

The Remote Control Bike breaks the Final Barrier

Eventually, the demand for the Remote Control Bike became high enough for some of the bigger manufacturers also look at, RC Jet Boat to jump in and ask for a piece of the puzzle. They came in and along came the technology that had been used in remote-controlled cars all over the world. The model was, now, at pace with the rest of the RC toys and models on the technology-front and even in terms of design, look at, RC Thunder Tiger things were working out.

Today, you can buy a Remote Control Bike that looks like a Suzuki Hayabusa or Valentino Rossi's MotoGP bike. You can buy dirt-bikes and superbikes, street-bikes and cruisers - all because the world told the industry that there was a demand for the Remote Control Bike and a need for the Remote Control Bike to evolve!
