Good call AJ, only a bot could see this post and reply in under 2 minutes!
+1 for dirt jumper frames if you don't mind a hard tail and are on the shorter side. My norco is much nicer to ride than my larger triangle frame hard tail, plus they're usually already built on the tough side before you start modding them.

Hi Paul,
Make the thread
i'd be interested in a mod of the single pivot, ive looked at both type of linkage on specialised big hit's and orange patriots and i think the single is best adaptable.
Could you say.....
weld a tube, the diameter of a astro on the bottom of the frame above the bb, mod the pivot to incorporate a driveshaft and then cut and shut the downtube section for a more battery freindy style?

Paul even if you didnt custom mod the frames you could sell them as is to people looking to build up their own full suspension bike. If you buy in bulk(ish) and get a good discount but end up with more than you can use you could still sell them on for a few bucks profit.
In case I miss it post a link here to your new thread when you create it, I'm keen to see what you come up with

The plethora of screws holding the battery compartment closed could be replaced or supplemented with quick-release pins. But I would also recommend adding a hinge to it near the neck.

Nice bike!
Flip the bird to the heat-treat black magicks and instead overbuild.. I find this approach inspiring!

Wow Timma! That is a very nice bike. You're making some nice aluminium and carbon fiber things with only a drill press. Doesn't it take long to file those aluminium parts till they're smooth? (Sorry my English isn't very good, I don't know how to explain it)
Does your bike has enough power to pull an wheelie?

Your English is good mate no worries there...i think it would literally take days to file some of the
thicker ally he has drilled out, alot more patiemce than I thats for sure! Air die grinder and linisher FTW Paul

Those Astros have more than enough to flip the bike and sit you fair on your butt before you know whats what hha..

Hi Kim,
I'm the guy from YouTube, and browsing through some builds over here, it's an very nice forum.
A couple of days... :| You should have indeed a lot of patience haha. I cut my aluminium with a dremel, but after 2-3cm of cutting the cutting-wheels break so I'm searching for a new (cheap) way. I might try that one, but I think it will also take some days before it's smooth. (Im using 5mm Aluminium 7075-T6, it's very strong material)
I was asking because you already said me that the Turnigy 130kv motor also has amazing power, but I didn't see a (non-hub) bike pulling a wheelie yet. Why don't people do it? Because they are afraid to burn the ESC or ruin the gears??

Ahhhh...i should of thought to link you to Pauls build when you said you were interested in a MTB rc setup when you messaged me on YouTube, good to see you signed up at ES anywayz mate
HEAPS of info here to keep you busy for a week or two the rc setups are a lil bit of a learning curve if you dont have a radio controlled model background?But by no means too difficult for a new commer to tackle...As to 'wheelies' Probably because of the touchy throttle setups, when more get the hall sensors setups i think you will see some nice power monos happening, as it stands now the limiting factor is throttle control with the non-sensored setups making it difficult to do a controlled wheelie IMO... Mr Recumpence SiR is the man behind the reduction drives if you search the boards for 'PK Ripper' you will find his builds and videos, you can see by that what i mean about the throttles, he also has videos of his rc powered trikes (astro motors) laying rubber from low speed as he accelerates, theres no shortage of power i guarantee you that.
As to cutting aluminium, as you see in this worklog Paul is using some VERY VERY thick ali, he drilles then files, a method
I have also used, another way though is to upsize from your dremel and get a 125mm/5in angle grinder with a thin cuttoff disk, get a cake of soap (like you bath with) run the this on the disk and then cut into the aluminium, the soap helps alot
on thicker aluminium.

dont worry guys ill have a crack at it, most / all my bikes wear the rear wheel bearings about 100 times quicker due to unicycling hahaa...yes even the r1 (ps im kidding about the bearings....but they do spend alot of the time up on 1).....prepare to see a video of a huge ball of flames and lithium smoke and skin as i step off the back at ~100km/h.......hopefully not

Yes very true, but neither does ELF 100 and very hot ICE. I think in reality batteries are still alot safer than petrol even if they do explode. Sorry Timma highjacking finished.
