Got another 2 packs run through today, you know I'm not at all happy with the rider, is there aftermarket riders?
 
Local Track???? WHERE??????

New track here in Franklin, we're running 1/10 short course every Sunday at 2PM. Had 8 trucks out today, good times! Too tight for the bike, but perfect for the trucks. I have video I'll post tomorrow evening.

If he came with the bike it's very likely that he's been brain damaged from the previous owner. I got a new rider for one of mine, but since he's new he has no biking experience whatsoever.
What kind of problems are you having with yours, is he overweight?
 
No, he's a lil scratched up, but I just don't like how rigid he is. Does no one make more realistic riders
 
Do a search for a rider for your particular bike. I came up with 2 piece lexan, either clear or painted, (Weightless but weak) and some 'heavy' bodies with movable shoulders, neck, waist and knees.
You might also search for 1/4 & 1/5 scale riders since some are for quads also.

Also, dirt bikes tend to run some type of foam body, due to the abuse they see. I know you can get the Venom "Venny" and Atomik's Deagan bodies, the Deagan body is lighter weight.

Please do, we'd love to have you out to race! Now that I have a race rig coming, I'll have to come out to GAH and run one weekend too. Some of the guys here have been out I think.

No he's alway complaining about a factory ride?
