motorcycle or rather tricycle ... again

Here is a rather good design, the front suspension is very delicate and can be seen to be working as the model moves.


The model need finishing and we are looking at maybe a card or vacuum formed plastic body. Here we can see that the axles need trimming and, in fact we could do with a switch for the on / off function.

Y8 motorcycle ( QUAD ) model

Nice little mover.
Motor could perhaps be nearer the wheel
and the battery pack is under the seat area
usually placed on top.
