Building an RC Motorbike to Break Speed Limits

🏍️By extending the swing arm and upgrading the gears, we improve the stability and performance of the RC motorbike.

🔌Overvolting the motor results in a melted motor, highlighting the importance of choosing the right voltage for optimal performance.

💨Tire rubbing and steering issues become major challenges when trying to achieve high speeds, requiring additional upgrades and adjustments.

🏎️The goal of breaking speed limits and reaching over 100 mph motivates us to continuously optimize and fine-tune the RC motorbike.

🔩Upgrading various components of the RC motorbike, such as the flywheel housing and side covers, enhances its overall performance and aesthetics.

What upgrades did you make to the RC motorbike?

—We extended the swing arm, upgraded the gears, and installed a more powerful motor to improve stability and performance.

Why did the motor melt?

—Overvolting the motor resulted in excessive heat buildup, causing it to melt. It is crucial to select the appropriate voltage for optimal motor performance.

Did you encounter any challenges?

—Yes, we faced challenges with tire rubbing and steering issues, which required additional upgrades and adjustments to overcome.

What speed did you reach with the RC motorbike?

—We reached a speed of 62 mph during our tests. However, our goal is to break speed limits and achieve speeds over 100 mph.

What other upgrades are you planning?

—We plan to further optimize the RC motorbike by fine-tuning the gearing, installing slick tires, and making additional modifications to achieve even greater speeds.
