Nope but looks cool.

I agree as they are a little bigger at 1/4 scale and a dirt bike but they more than three times the cost.
There are even some conversion kits.

I want to buy it but someone said that you can't find after market motors and escs that fit which makes me think.... no.

Not sure about the motor but the ESC looks normal size to me.

Well, if people are able to find HW parts that fit then I think what I read was wrong. Now I kinda want one again, although if I did buy an RC MC I may look for one thats a wee bit bigger.

Side note, I really wish that motor mount was metal instead of plastic. Have you looked in to the availability of after market parts for this model? Just curious

Here is the motor. The receiver is pretty universal. The only left are the servos and the ESC and battery.

I had this about 15 years ago. It’s fun but has a learning curve to operate There use to be a ton of aluminum hop ups for it

Furitek makes a 2030 motor. The Godzilla. 8000kv.

How bad is that learning curve? The new one seems pretty easy to use.

Replying to myself... lol
In fact... I bet you could install their ESC for it as well, and save a lot of room.

Not that bad. Turning not as sharp as a car has
