Zhu Posted September 21, 2010 Posted September 21, 2010 Where has your mind been? Outstanding work, love it.
Smart-Resins Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Now that is a unique model! Great imagineering and detail!
Romell R Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Derrick that was one wild build, I just want to ask where you got the inspiration to build this? I mean did you just wake up and say "I think I'll build a Mono Cycle" However it came about you did a excellent job keep up the good work
codie27 Posted September 23, 2010 Posted September 23, 2010 Huey Lewis said it was hip to be square, what would he have to say about this? Well I dont know, but I do know I think it is awesome, great work. Is that somthing you have dreamt up or is it based on a 1:1 ? Thanks for sharing.

This one is based on the real thing. I saw the first one on TV, it had a V8 on it he had a big crash You can see it on YOU TUBE Mclean V8 Monocycle ( crash )check it out.
Jairus Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Now that is not something you see every day! Very nice build and... darned, if I don't want to build one now.
Harry P. Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Ok, I don't want to seem stupid... but what is the plex thingie for? Is that supposed to work like an airplane's tail fin and steer the thing?
Jairus Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Ok, I don't want to seem stupid... but what is the plex thingie for? Is that supposed to work like an airplane's tail fin and steer the thing? So how would YOU steer it?
Harry P. Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 So how would YOU steer it? Lean into the turn? You know... like a Segway.
Jairus Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 Segway has two wheels. Computer senses the lean and automatically changes the current flowing to the individual motors. This one is more tactile I think....

U CAN SEE ONE ON YOU TUBE ( MCLEAN V8 MONOCYCLE ) HAVE A LOOK. IT,S COOL
Dragline Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 EXTREMELY creative, and the best use of an HD motor I've seen in a long time. BRAVO Bob
Smart-Resins Posted September 25, 2010 Posted September 25, 2010 The final set of photos looks very cool. With reference pictures of the 1:1, you should be able to finish the model well. ROFLMBO! J/K. Absolutly terrific finale on that thing! You have amazed me with this one!
