Default Anderson M5 Cross RTR

This has to be the coolest thing we've seen in a while - this 1/5th scale off road motoX bike by Anderson which is now being distributed exclusively by Schumacher in the UK.



Schumacher: This is sure to be an excellent product with its go anywhere capabilities unlike most of the current bikes on the market. The bike is built with a solid aluminium chassis with specially designed rear wheel gyro system which enables awesome stability even on the roughest terrains! (See the video's here if you don't believe us!!!)
One of the great features of this bike is its super easy to use design, and with pistol grip radio it's no problem for beginner or expert alike!


The M5 Cross features:

  • 1/5 Scale, Aluminum Chassis Motocross Bike, strong and durable.
  • Long travel front shocks.
  • Metal chain drive system.
  • Specially designed & well balanced adjustable Fly wheel Gyro system.
  • Special compact power system, easy & quick installation and maintenance. Highly efficient 15T motor for long runtimes.
  • 3 piece clutch design delivers quick power response.
  • A special, convenient & easily removed battery box.
  • Front suspension buffer protector.
  • Longer side wing stabilisers, better for beginners and for off-road.
  • Adjustable rear oil filled shock absorber.
  • Full ball bearings.
  • Inner hooked type wheel & tire.
  • Strong yet lightweight polycarbonate rider figure.
  • Multi functional chassis stand.
  • Adjustable rear suspension slider.
  • Many Optional parts.

That's fantastic, the on-road bikes that are available at the moment are so difficult. But one that jumps! Ace!

You say that but the ARX540 is bigger, and the material quality is higher.

Do like the looks of it though!

to be fair, they both look like wobbly jellies, and need weighted wheels to sop them being rather random.... look fun though, similar to the old Radio Shack Ricky Charmichael one.

Did you ever see the guy that converted his one to a Nitro bike? That was pretty cool - i think it's on Youtube if you search for it.
