ZH-218B 1:8 Competition Race Bike
Building on the very fast and successful 216B, the 218B has some subtle upgrades and slight changes to make it even better. If you already own a 216B you will be happy to know that the new parts are available to retro fit the previous model.
The 218B uses a cantilever swingarm with the motor mounted to it. This helps in weight transfer and balance of the bike front to rear. The design of the 218B is a much slimmer and the battery is mounted sideways allowing even greater lean angles for fast corners.
This kit uses a 2030 size brushless motor, 2 X Micro servos 1 for steering and 1 for front brake, for the ESC you may use any 1/10 or 1/16 Car ESC and a compatible brushless motor 2030. We have ESC and motors available here.
The kit comes Assembled and can be supplied with or without electronics, wheels and tyres. Hubs included with the kit and ready to mount with GRP rims and rubber. You will find those here. Will require some disassembly when installing the servo's, electronics and front brake setup. illustrated instructions available at, www.zh-racing.com
