Project Jibril: This project consists of two 3d printed RC motorcycles: the 2016 Ducati Draxter Concept Drag Bike RC and the 2016 Suzuki GSX-RR MotoGP RC motorcycle. This project includes two bikes because the motorcycle world is very diverse. I hope that everyone can find one that appeals to them. Name sake: My friend Jibril is crazy about motorcycles, so this project was named after him as he was the inspiration for it. RC motorcycles are almost like black magic, the fact that they can ride and balance themselves is accomplished with gyroscopes (either passive or active), and kits like the Kyosho Hang on Rider brought realism by having a rider that actually moved. This project remakes that magic for the 3d world with two 2016 bikes that were designed not as chassis, but as the individual motorcycles with unique parts that aim to recreate the realism of the actual bike. Both the Ducati and Suzuki feature a 3d printed functional front fork, adjustable rear suspension, and drivetrain that translates power from gears to a belt drive system which turns the rear wheel. They stay upright by using a weighted front wheel which acts as a passive gyroscope, and both bikes have to option run either TPU 3d printed rear tires or a rubber F1 RC tires for better grip. This is just some of the beauty and engineering that went into the bikes, but in order to really make these motorcycles come to life, the rider has to move. The Rider which is a 3d wonder in its own right. It works by having a brain, backbone, and pelvis. The brain is a super tiny ultra micro servo which is located in the head of the rider. It attaches to the backbone that is a metal rod which runs through the body and is attached to the pelvis, translating the movement of the servo. More than just realism, The Rider steers the bike. The lower left arm is attached to the main servo, and it moves the arm forward and backwards. This movement turns the handlebars which steers the bike. When both bike and rider are married together, you get an amazing experience of two futuristic race bikes that were never available to the public with a rider who’s sitting on the bikes in the way an actual rider would. This project has taken me over 5-months of work, lots of iterations, multiple different bikes, many older versions that will never be released, and months of testing. These two bikes are the result of all of that hard work. I hope you enjoy it, I hope you are inspired by it, and I hope that in turn you inspire others. 1:12 scale

NOTED IN THE STEPS.

STEP 1: Attach the Footpegs to the Motorcycle.

Drill the hole with a m2.5 drill bit and Tap it with the m3 x 0.5 tap.

Attach two spacers to the long 4.8mm ball studs, and screw them into the hole on the Foot

Pegs for Suzuki or the the Feet Brace Assembly if not already done in the previous steps.

Epoxy the Suzuki Feet pegs to the body of the motorcycle as shown in the picture above.

STEP 2: Attaching ball stud to lower left arm.

B. Ducati Draxter and Suzuki

Install a 4mm ball stud and screw it into one of the holes in the servo arm.

Install the servo arm onto the servo.

Install a 4mm ball stud into the arm of the rider. You may need to drill with a 2.5mm drill bit

and a m3 x 0.5 tap.

(Ducati Draxter only) Using the TT02B Turnbuckle set, assemble a turnbuckle with one 3 x

32mm adjustable shafts and two plastic ball cups.

The finished linkage should have one ball cup facing the opposite direction as the other, so

opposing.

Snap the linkage into the ball stud on the servo.

STEP 3: Attaching the Rider to the Motorcycle

A. Suzuki GSX-RR

Place the rider on the bicycle.

Attach the legs by snapping the feet onto the ball studs. Support the feet brace assembly

and use plies to prevent the assembly from breaking.

Using a wrench screw in the ball studs located in the hands of the rider into the handle bars of the front fork. Slowly screw it in.

Attach the servo arm into the servo and secure with the 2 screws that came with the servo arm.

B. Ducati Draxter

Drill the holes in the handle bars with a 2.5mm drill bit and tap then with the m3 x 0.5 tap. Be very careful in this step—a tip is to support the handle bar while you are tapping it. You can also skip this step by drilling the hole with a m3 drill bit and then epoxying the ball stud in

Snap the 4.3mm ball stud into the hands of the rider by pressing down.

Place the rider on the bicycle.

Attach the legs by snapping the feet onto the ball studs. Support the feet brace assembly

and use plies to prevent the assembly from breaking.

Using a wrench screw in the ball studs located in the hands of the rider into the handle bars of the front fork. Slowly screw it in.

Attach the ball cup from the steering linkage to the 4mm ball stud on the lower left arm of the rider.

Attach the servo arm into the servo and secure with the 2 screws that came with the servo arm.

stud.

4. Install the Riders hand onto to outer ball stud of on the
handle bar.

Step 20: WIRING THE ULTRA MICRO SERVO IN THE RIDER'S HEAD

1. Take the spare servo and cut the wires off of it.

2. Cut the connector off of the ultra micro servo.

3. Solder the spare wire servo to the ultra micro servo’s wires. Use shrink tubes to seal the

connection. Coordinating the wire colors. (Black/Brown is Ground, Red is power, Yellow is

signal).

4. Run the wires through the body, down the neck and out the back by the hips.

5. Next, Cut the connector off of the both the lengthened ultra micro servo and the Hitec Servo

HS225BB and solder those wires together as well. Correlate the wire colors like before and use shrink tubes to seal the connection. This will make both the servo steering the motorcycle and the one in the head work in concert.
