This construction was a precious experience in compact building. It’s virtually built around the battery box, in a very tight way. Except for the box and two motors, it includes an IR receiver, a B2 piston engine (in the boxer setup), and the suspension. One motor drives the rear axle, the other controls steering with the functional handlebars.
The bike performed pretty well in all tests, was fast and manouverable. The most noteable feature was the footage filmed with a camera located on the driver’s seat, which is included in the video below.
@Witherley
Yes.
Is a dragged axle simply when the rear axle is attached to a section of the chassis that pivots around a certain point and is secured with a shock absorber? So you just press it down and it squashes, but not side to side or in any other way? And is that a stupid question? I couldn’t find any information about it on the internet.
