Wolfie Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi everyone. Only played a couple of times. Have a g&g firehawk with mosfet and 11.1 batteries. Really enjoying the gaming (though haven't played this year, lockdown). I'm pretty much cannon fodder while learning but always open to improving. Hope to be back in play very soon.

Wolfie Posted March 3, 2021 Author Share Posted March 3, 2021 That's my old BMW trike... Loved it. Had a few. Forgot that Google has it as my profile pic. I have a Vmax trike now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDcase Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Its a beast. Just needs some gun sleeves 😁 Did you convert it? Do you prefer that to 2 wheel version or is it for other reasons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the v max needs an extra wheel to get round corners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 Love trikes and have had a few... Also ride bike too. Bought the Vmax in 2001 and ran it until 2015 when I decided it was going to be my next trike. Contrary to hype... Maxes handle really well if you remember they are 1980s bikes... Once you get that they are amazing. Having said that... As a trike. Its like the world's fastest go cart... the acceleration can only be described as "sudden or Brutal ".... Love this forum. Been having a good look around and delving into the tech section. Will probably try setting up my mosfet next... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it ever stopped me wanting one I used to have a slabside Gixxer 750 and for the performance the shocks and brakes were TERRIFYING!

Do you prefer that to 2 wheel version or is it for other reasons? I bought the BMW (all matt black) but converted the Vmax... Got the trike cause I love riding with no helmet in the summer... obs helmet on if I'm going at speed or motorway or bad weather. Gun sleeves would have been fantastic on the BMW. 🤣 4 hours ago, Lozart said: Oh come on, they never went round corners when they were new!

They look big until you sit on it.. then you realise how small they are... Heavy... but small... lol upgraded the brakes so with three wheels I now have three brakes... Stops much better 😇😇😇 Not that I would know what it goes like... Honest 😇😇😇 🤣🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've always seemed quite top heavy to me (even though I'm not sure they actually are). I really liked the updated one they did (did it ever make it to production?).

Quite a few about but I don't think it has quite the personality of the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted June 12, 2021 Author Share Posted June 12, 2021 Had a brilliant day at Absolute Airsoft in Reading. Very well run and great fun. Took lots of heads today and had my share of bbs hitting me too... We also had a young man turn up with a claimed £500 of new kit. From gun to boots and everything between... so? He'd never played before (buying everything during lockdown) and decided, after the third game of the day.... "Airsoft is not for me!"... He has provisionally sold all his gear to another player and left. Hmmm. Me thinks he bigged himself up a bit too much.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Yes, it's a common enough story, and why we always recommend renting first. Some people love the ouch, some can't stand it. Still, his loss is someone else's win, it all ends up back in the hobby one way or another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
