This is my Kraft Elect Rider RC motorcycle that I bought with my big bro in 1979, or thereabouts, for $100 from Tower Hobbies store. He let me buy him out in the 1980's after his interest waned. I have kept it safe ever since! In 2017 I did a full tear down, cleaning, repairing, painting, and reassembling in a restoration. It still runs on the original brushed motor, with an upgraded Novak ESC (that I added to it in the '80's), and now on a 2cell, 800mah lipo battery. I time the runs at 10 minutes to prevent over discharge of the lipo.

New for 2022, is control from a vintage 1980's Futaba wheel transmitter that I converted to 2.4GHz protocol. Another change is the plastic water bottle under the yellow rider for his seat and fuel tank cover.

This run was at the Galveston RC Fun Flyer's asphalt runway in Indiana on July 29, 2022.
