1/24DragAndStreetCars Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Hi everyone, since I can't find a 1/25 mini-bike on the market I will make one and cast it for all you guys The kit will come with: (1) 2-Stroke motor (2) Pieces of side trim (1) Seat (Several) Frame components I'm thinking about $7 for the kit Are you guys interested? How much do you think it needs to be? Oh and it includes instructions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randx0 Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I mean, honestly there are several mini bikes available in kits that can be found for reasonable money . Monograms Vandal has one and it is currently available. I'd like to see you finish scratch building this mini bike but don't do it with intent to sell just build it for yourself .

Casey Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 More info about existing bikes here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=56433&page=1#entry724066 Long story short-- I wouldn't bother. There are plenty of other things in demand which are not available which would be a better use of your time and effort IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chunkypeanutbutter Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 If I see a built one, I might be interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin T Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Based off the frame it looks like your going for the 60's kit look that was very popular on the west coast, here's the Taco that comes with the Vandal kit I built up a year or so ago. Honestly this would be a labor of love since there is already a fairly common injection molded version on the market, also it's brand specific whereas yours is a generic no name bike (Guys that build these want specific bikes like Rupps and Tacos). The project still has potential,but don't expect people to be pushing down your door to buy one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikemodeler Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 I am with Casey, if you want to build one for yourself go ahead but the market for them might make it hard to be profitable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
