Venom GPV-1 RTR 1/8th motorcycle Categories - Electric On Road, Bikes, Venom, Products - comments closed 
Merging the design philosophies of real world GP race bikes and RC 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 bike hits the market featuring a combination of scale realism with composite materials and high performance handling not usually found in a ready to run model of this size or price category. Venom designed the GPV-1 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 motorcycle and drive it with confidence.
