The Venom GPV-1 is a 1/8th scale radio control bike in the Venom
R/C motorcycle range.
The Venom GPV-1 remote control bike Merges the design philosophies of real world GP race bikes
and radio controlled models, the GPV-1 represents Venom Group's most ambitious
project in its seven-year company history. After passing Venom's intensive
design and development program, the Venom GPV-1 Race Bike kit's the market
featuring a combination of scale realism with composite materials and high
performance handlingly not usually found in a read-to-run r/c bike model of this size or
price category.
From the beginning, Venom set out to design a race level
motorcycle that was highly tunable for R/C bike racers yet fun and easy to drive for
beginners. To achieve this, Venom designed the GPV-1 radio control bike around a hybrid
carbon-glass chassis structure that offers fine-tuning of suspension while
lending a compact, low centre of gravity for easy handling. With the Venom VR3T
3-channel Radio Transmitter in hand, experts and beginners alike are able to
immediately take control of the rc motorcycle and drive it with confidence.
The key to the GPV-1s precise handling lies in its suspension
design and geometry. Based on full sized race bikes, the front suspension
features telescopic inverted forks. The forks smooth operation comes from five
previous machine Teflon bushings that keep the shock shaft in line and straight
through out the entire stroke. Where other fork designs wobble, the Venom GPV-1 stays
true. Fine tune the dampening using any of the eight Teflon fork pistons
included in the kit. Combine them with different oil weights and you'll have
unlimited tunability.
The rear shock features a composite threaded shock body with
alloy preload collar for fine tuning the rear dampening. Inside you'll find a
precision machined Teflon piston and bushing as standard equipment.
The GPV-1 comes with the VR3T, a 3-Channel Computerized FM
radio features 3rd Channel Mixing and 15 Model Memory. The radio also has
Programmable Steering Dual Rate with a thumb switch so you can adjust the
steering sensitivity on-the-fly. With the freedom of 3rd Channel mixing, the
VR3T is ready to integrate directly with Venom's optional Front Brake Kit. The
VR3T has so many high-end features you'll forget you're using a RTR kit radio!
The GPV-1 power system has been optimized to be tame enough
for beginners yet have enough punch to keep experts on the edge of traction.
The V series 18R Micro ESC features reverse lockout and an easy one button
setup.
The 6-cell 7.2v 1200mah NiMH Micro Battery Pack was designed
specifically for the Venom GPV-1. Compact in size, the battery fits snugly on
the bottom of the chassis keeping all the weight low and centred to provide
exceptional handling.
