Amazing how the internet helps us expand and enjoy our hobbies and interests. Motorcycles, Scooters, Radio Control of old and new and video games are my hobby of choice. Awesome to have a format to share, seek out help and offer help to others who enjoy the same things as you.
1996 GMC Sierra C1500 SLE 5.7L - 27K Original Miles
I recently acquired this 1996 GMC Sierra SLE 5.7L. the original owner purchased it in 1996 when he retired and drove it weekly to run errands local. the truck never sat for more than a week or so at a time for all 28 years since new.

My 2006 Honda Big Ruckus (PS250) I purchased in 2010 when it was four years old and had 5,000 miles on it. Currently (2023) it has 25,000 miles on it. It's a beautiful well kept example of one of these bikes. Well maintained and stored indoors. It has many upgrades for performance - handling - and comfort. This bike has been well loved and taken on many adventures.

Bonjour cutt of lipo?
@@alexgalitier1322 no lipo cut off. I use a lipo alarm
Do you recall which blue polini contra spring you used? There are 2, 243.072 and 243.073
What if it don't even turn red?
Such a sweeet setup ! I just pulled mine out of storage after 14 years and am just wondering where to get all the new parts needed. Wonder if Honda still sells the intake air filter let alone belts as I am in Ontario Canada and have fears of not being able to get parts. I heard of a replacement carb setup that runs better but it now being 2024, are there still stuff available. PS: Love the grey colour over my yellow paint.
For a Brushed Motor, the orange wire wasn't soldered to anything, correct?
@@micsherwood4930 yes the orange wire just lays there. No worried. Just zip tie it out of the way. No need for it in brushed mode :)
Rare in that condition, great weekend fun truck or use it for real
@@RDEnduro that’s the plan. Just enjoy it for simple things. I have a 2004 Tacoma with 205k miles and a 2006 Tundra 4x4 with 60k miles. This one is just for fun.
Perfect video no music while you were talking no loud intro straight to the point
@@nomusicrc I’m so glad this video has helped out so many folks!
Vespa 300 in the background and I know you are authentic! Had a white vespa 300 and now thinking of a Big Ruckus!
Such a beautiful machine. Sadly they don't sell it in my country, i would trade my limbs for that thing
Good looking for a utility bike
do you still have it. i’ll buy it
I know this is a old video, but I have noise in clutch any idea what it could be .. i Forster, “t’s a rattling sound”
It could be so many things. The ruckus has a normal “rattle” at idle. But there are so many moving parts in there - if it sounds problematic, just take the cover off and inspect while running
Bonjour.Merci pour cette video,très beau modèle hélas non disponible en Suisse.Nous avons juste eu droit au Ruckus 50(Zoomer en Europe)je rêve aussi d'un Honda Motra mais très peu diffusé hors Japon et sur 2 ans seulement.Bonne continuation à vous. 🇨🇭
Is the BEC on at all times as long as the battery is plugged in even if the ESC is off?
curious ...how much Top End Speed do you lose .....anyone?
Not much at all. A couple mph. But the top speed you hit is better held vs the drops in the previous mph.
Any chance you may have place where you purchased the contra spring? I can not find it anywhere. My best guess, polini 243.072 or 243.073. Maybe other?
It’s been so long. It’s a CN-250 Blue Contra Spring. They are out there as the CN 250 platform is copied and in a lot of products.
Do you have a part number for the Dr Pulley Sliders?
www.scooterworks.com/products/dr-pulley-sliders-23x18-cn250-lc
@@KMJ187 Thanks. I recall you saying you got the 21 gram weights, but I see 20 and 22 gram.
@@erickhaughn2217 I did get the 21 gram. Maybe another seller has them. How much do you weight? I’m 220lbs. If you are lighter than me you can go with 22gram. If heavier you can do 20gram. You can also mix and match. Put in 20 and 22 alternating and get the same effect as 21 gram. Lots of options with the rollers.
@@KMJ187 i'm about 220lbs....think i'll go with the 21gram....but oddly the Dr.Pulley site doesn't have them listed for the Big Ruckus....do I go with the kymco 300 ones?

Thank You I've never had this ESC before and got it in a Euro truck cheap and wanted reverse turned on but no manual came with it and manuals online are in other languages this was by far the easiest thing to follow 😎👍 I appreciate that!

Hi Anthony, my wife and I just watched your video on our new bike.. We can not wait..
Congrats on the bike - I sold the bike to Anthony last year. I am the second owner from 2010-2023. I did all the mods and work on it. Anthony purchased it from me back in June :)
Is this for sale?
I sold it last summer.
@@KMJ187 damn someone is lucky!
Yeah i got a brand new kit its a good un. Rather build the portal version mind.
Just wanted to give a big thanks for making such a thorough video on a fascinating machine. These are really unappreciated bikes... I guess the poor sales figures makes that obvious... but I'd suggest it was ahead of its time.
Beautiful
Thank you!
The main spring, is that the polini part # 243.072? You able to find this in the USA? Seems I can only find it in Europe.
Still owning these treasures?
I do not. Sadly this bike was hit “with me on it” by a Volvo in 2007 and totaled. I walked always just scuffed up a bit. I used the insurance money to get another bike.
Sweet bike
Thank you!
That housing area looks beautiful....
I got one in 1985 and it's a very nice kit. I remember it was well made, weighed a ton and it would roll quite easily. Very tight radio box. I built The Hornet several months after WW and it was much easier. NIB kits are selling for a fortune now on the net and good used ones are expensive too. They should have re released this its much nicer than WW2.
I got really into the hobby around 1988 - by then - these were harder to find and not cheap - my first kit was a knock off hornet. I wanted one of these original wild willys forever. I finally got this one and finished building it semi new. I love it
@@KMJ187 I paid $180 (Australian) kit only in 1985. Mine was the same as yours - LWB. Installed the JR Propo tilt stick RC system - the trigger type were an extra $100 then and were the minority. It is a nice kit and I really like the look of it from the side - the chassis under the body.
@@Funco1979 my first kit was an academy minicraft lazer. It was a hornet close $49.99 usa. Towerhobbies had a combo for $99.99 with the kit - pistol radio - battery back -12v charger. $100 total was awesome and had all I needed to get started on the cheap
@@KMJ187 it sounds a good price did it have the RS540 motor?
@@Funco1979 it did have a 540 motor. It was an exact hornet clone. If you watch my grasshopper video I have a minicraft laser in the video. I have found two on eBay new in the box in the last 20 years.
You have the part numbers for the rear drive springs and belt you replaced it with?
I don’t have the part numbers. Was so many years ago. Mallossi Clutch Springs for the CN250. And Polini Contra Spring (Blue) for the CN250.
@@KMJ187 do you recall what color malossi springs?
@@erickhaughn2217 the mallossi came in a three pack. Yellow white and red. It came with all three. I went with the most mild of the three.
Hi my name is LeRoy, I live in south west Florida and am lucky to have a 05 and 06,great bikes so much fun to ride,its nice to see your bike and how well you take care of it love your video!
NO WAY! I literally own a Minicraft Lazer myself. I could never figure out what it was and assumed it was a World Engines Rockbuster with weird pink dampers and a black bumper (rockbusters came with blue dampers and yellow bumpers). Now to find a body...
That’s very cool. Yeah I still have a new lazer in the box. My first kit. Finding a lazy body will be tough. But it will fit any hornet body!
Nice build and review. Awesome upgrades. 👍
Thank you so much !
Morning from Kent England. Did I hear you say that the engine is a diesel? Been looking to obtain a bike or reverse trike. Enjoyed your video, you, your ride.
It’s a analogy. It’s a diesel like engine :) low rpm power
@@KMJ187 Thank you for the return reply. I 've been enlightened
Bought my 06 new off the showroom floor. I've had motorcycles my entire adult life. I did the big cruiser thing, the sport bike thing, the Harley thing and the dirt bike thing. I was at the point where I just wanted to ride and not work hard at it. I'm 71 now, and I do believe the ease of riding this beast has extended my riding years. I added a windshield, did the jet change and slider change a few years back and it certainly has affected my mpg....because it's just SO DAMN FUN to roll the gas on!!!
Where did you get that windshield? I have the short one and I hate it.
It’s the original windscreen from Yamaha. I added a MRA universal second screen (had to drill holes and bolt it on) but the tall screen is the one the bike comes with. It’s like $270 - not cheap

I hated the mechanical speed control on my Kyosho Javelin. I upgraded to an electronic speed control in no time. I melted Tamiya plugs left and right using 14 and 13 turn high power brushed motors to propel that sucker at amazing speeds. Back then lol I still have it and the brushed motor which works, new brushes and a clean of the stator and I am golden.
The old mechanicals were terrible b it's what we had though. Modern electronics in effect are amazing
Gawd I wish these were still made!!!!😍
Very good!
Yup - I wish a modern take on this.
good day-Moddrocker, thank you,very useful ~godspeed,
I have a 2006 Big Ruckus that I bought new. It has less than 15K miles on it. I added a windshield to it. It's always been garaged. I'm seriously considering selling it because as you can tell by the mileage, I just don't use it enough and the scooter has aged better than I have. Curious if you've sold yours and if so, how much you sold it for?
I got $3500 - not bad. Even though she was amazingly clean - she did have 25k miles. I purchased the bike in 2010 for $3200 with 5k miles on it.
With this work without the sensor cable? My tamiya motor TBLM02-S wont spin on brushless mode with the TBLE02-s ESC.
As I recall - this ESC will only run sensored brushless or brushed motors. It won't run sebsorless brushed.
@@KMJ187 Wow thanks, I wasnt expecting a reply lol. I have the brushless sensored motor but dont have the cable. I just ordered some so hopefully that will get the thing spinning,. If not I just ordered the hobbywing quickrun 60BL ESC. I heard you need the fan for the tble-02s esc and you cant find them anymore.....
@@ryanbowen7831 yeah brushless are not like brushed - brushed just puts power to the magnets. Brushless sensors the computer needs to read the sensor and rotor position to spin the motor. No sensor cable and the computer cannot read the motor
