Eoghain — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 12:53:15 +0000

Building on the success and innovation of the original GPV-1 RTR 1/8th scale motorcycle, Venom have announced the GPV-1 Pro kit. The Pro kit maintains all the advanced features of the RTR but replaces key components with Factory Hop-Up parts as well as adding some innovations of its own. The Pro kit includes the carbon fibre race chassis kit, alloy forks with preload adjustment, front disk brake kit, steering bearing set, 6 spoke wheel set, 60T and 62T spur gear set, front and rear V1 soft tires, GPV-1 clear body and rider figure. New to the GPV-1 platform is the company’s innovative MTCS (Mechanical Traction Control System) that allows you to shift the hinge pin placement without changing the wheelbase. Shifting the hinge pin placement allows you to control the jacking and squatting of the chassis to control how the power is put to the track.

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.
