Salt, You mean Remote control cars and trucks motors can be rewired to make it a generator? I have a lot of them, dead, my boys love remote cars and trucks, all 3 of them, and they seem to like to destroy them quick too, i just can't seem to throw them away after spending, sometimes $140.00 on them each, like them darned Hummers, they would rather watch them bounce down the steps than to drive them with the remotes, anyway, how is this done, making a motor into a generator.

ok guys, i have not posted anything for awhile and been busy with summer here.
to late to finish it for the build off,but i will try to keep some postings of what i am doing to the bike.
work on a set of folding foot pegs for the bike. i started out with a peice of angle iron and weld a flat peice of steel to it. making it a channel peice and then cut up a small peice of pipe and then center it into the channel and drilling a hole through it. i will need to cut a small peice off the pipe,so the foot peg can fold up. also will trim the channel ends so they are more rounded. BLACK marker shows where i will be triming it and also going to trim the grips down little.:thumbsup:

built a headlight bracket and drilled a small hole on top of the triple tree to mount it on. i just use a small piece of tubing and cut it to length and welded a bolt to it. this way i can rotate it back and forth and up and down:thumbsup:
i was not real happy with the original headlight that i was going to use? it look just like this on my other minibike build.
it looks good on this green bike,but i wanted something more old school /classic vintage look:thumbsup:
found headlight on ebay. it uses a standard 6volt bulb that i can replace with a led cluster bulb set-up. leds will use less volts and will look brighter and yes the headlight cover will not stay green:doah::repuke:

......Very nice job on that mini of yours.. good ingenuity all around, and my favorite part was your inclusion of radiusing the fenders to match the tires--more people need welders so they can aesthetically build thier bikes--it just looks that much better.. the chain/clutch guard was nicely done as well.. I'll make one for my Super Bronc once I get a mig welder-- Very nice job.
