My other NITRO Hobby....

[MM Engineering]

I LOVE r/c cars. They are fast, fun, exciting...

However, i have another hobby which is just as cool.
I been doin nitro scooters for about 3 years now.... It's fun as hell, hittin 50+ MPH on the street, gettin the cops called on me...Good Times.

I just wanted to show you my scooter:
http://community.webshots.com/album/76057200YqrPVl

It runs on a methanol/nitro mix. This one your looking at is my own personal project BigFoot. It has over 1700 dollars worth of upgrades on it, and so far- My friend (a police officer) clocked it at 52.7 MPH. FREAKING FAST!

The scooter scene here in Los Angeles and Orange County is almost as big as r/c. There are races as well as expo's and specialty shops just for these scooters.

Enjoy the eye candy. :bling:

So ppl have called the cops on you for that? That's badass.

Man, i'd love to have a really fast scooter.

Now THAT sir gets a 10 out of 10 for the 'Coolness Factor'!

Too bad the weather wasn't nice here longer than 3 months a year! I wouldnt mind having one in the garage for certain!

Can you put knobby offroad tires and suspension kits on them?

 

[TINY_MAXX]

That thing RULES !!Man that goes fast.That would be cool to do some offroading with it...Very nice.10 out of 10 is right Çh®i§tiªñ.
:thumbsup:

That thing's sweet, MM!

Suffice to say we're all here because we appreciate anything that's got a motor in it and kicks ass!

I got a Bladez MobyXL 40 from these guys. No hop ups. Just stock. It's a lot of fun, though!

This guy ships anywhere, but for those of you in Seattle, you can pick it up from his house.

I have semi-knobby tires on it right now. However, there is no suspension on this particular model. They are really designed for on-road racing.

It seriously isnt unusual to have the cops on my ass once a week at least. They tell me:

"Put the stock exhaust pipe thing on it to quiet it down or we're takin you in."

I say:" Go to hell pig."

^JK! I would never say that to cops LoL...

 

[kwong2001]

where do you run the thing? you don't go on normal streets?

 

[Jamie]

EVERYONE has them around my area there actually called go-peds you can get them here www.go-ped.com and here www.scooter-king.co.uk try them there cheap these ones have a 2 stroke engine and are exactly the same as MM's.

 

[MM Engineering]

SOMETIMES i can run them on my street. But not for long, my neighbors come out and start yelling at me at spraying me with their hoses.

I usually run them at SRC (Scooter Racing Circuit) certified events. That way i can't get the cops called on me:cheerful:

 

[mcvickj]

What kind of run times do you get? How big is the tank?

 

[RobH]

I was thinking that too. nitro cost big bucks per gallon. You'd think a chainsaw engine (uses normal gas pluss oil) would be more practical. Then again, it wouldn't be as fast I don't think.

Cool little rig. :thumbup:

 

[MM Engineering]

Stock, BigFoot's get 100 miles per gallon no joke. But now that i got an aftermarket engine and HP carb and stuff, i only get like 60.

The tank has 1 liter storage. :trout:

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

There are a whole bunch of people here in Humboldt who have those scooters. I seen one do 60 along side a car. One guy has like 5,000 in his and its sick.:bow:

 

[kwong2001]

yeah, i need to get one of those..but if you think r/c is expensive...wait til you get heavy into one of those...it's like a real car

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

Well now thats where I would have to draw the line. 5,000 ?!?! On a SCOOTER? Id have to be able to get some in the back seat for 5k.

 

[HumboldtBlazer]

pu$$y is free brotha man, thought you knew

you only have to pay attention............for a minute

 

[Çh®i§tiªñ]

LMAO! Guess thats where you and I part ways.... My woman is anything but free! :shhh:

But really, I dont think I could have my woman 'buns-up-kneeling' on the scooter.

And I hate when she makes me pay attention
