Big Air and Huge Jumps: Losi Promoto MX Dirt Bike Takes on the BMX Track

[@gerardscheffer8848]

This has got to be the unofficial rc of the year. What a masterpiece! So durable and well behaved out of the box. Well done Losi!

[@steveblackbird]

RC of the year indeed!! In all my years, I've never seen so much aftermarket support/upgrades for any RC, especially so quick after release....ever! Vitavon are bringing out actual spoked wheels!!!! Every single review is glowing. As someone that has a few RC bikes and love them, this one in particular with where the gyro sits and the 3 driving modes is what kills everything else on the market. Amazing. Patiently awaiting my pre-order to arrive lol. Been quite a few months now. Epic vid Vas. It takes the hits well!

[@shug97]

Vas, you absolutely nailed the driving of it! Man it flies well. Takes a hard landing too. Really impressed fella. I'll look out for the upgrade videos, will be interesting to see what difference they make. It's great to hear you laughing while you're driving again. Take care, Sean.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks Sean, much appreciated. Driving this bike is just amazing and I think I need to do a comparison video next. The Promoto MX vs the SkyRC bike. 💪😎

[@davidmartin1093]

Must be nice to have an RC bike that has a more durable rider, our SkyRC bikes would be just as great on 3s with a better rider. I remember yours lost it's head the first ride on 3s. @@AussieRCPlayground

[@chaoticadventure]

Awesome video showcasing this epic RC of the decade! I love my promoto MX. Going on 27 packs and still going strong.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

That's awesome! 💪💪😎

[@ReadySetRC]

Impressive! Totally agree, RC of the year by a long shot. The best run I've seen by far too💪

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. 😎👍

[@cwatson42785]

Wow 2 legends in you and Vas calling this the rc of the year and I don't have it yet? I'm actually embarrassed!! I think im going to check my lhs today and see if they have one in and go treat myself!! Only reason I haven't gotten one is I was wondering if it might get a little boring/old after a few runs was my only fear

[@skirmich]

I race this bad boy and I found 40W in the Forks and 35W in the rear helps a ton with the bounce back after jumps.

[@bwxmoto]

It's the only RC anything I've purchased in about 5 years. It's epic!

[@holden5594]

Great job Vas. One of the best videos I have seen showing off this bikes capabilities. Looking forward to seeing how the upgrades hold out. Aussie RC Playground

[@manilove2pwn]

Thought that was a real bike in thumbnail great pic

[@gourobkundu2173]

I really really enjoyed this video. What an incredible RC !!!!

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it. 😊

[@sheiladavis2304]

Hello from Canada. The Losi seems to be an unreal jumper. But just from the sounds of some of those big jump flat landings, there may end up being some damage to the externals and internals over time. You need to build a transitioned landing area. This would definitely lessen the impact as well as look smoother. The great thing about this RC is that like an actual moto throttle control is key to smooth landings. First time on channel but like what I see.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Its one of the coolest rcs but this is the best video ive ever seen of it. You gave it a good bashing and its a tough little beast. Excellent video Vas.

[@radiocontrolledevents]

Awesome video Vas. Can’t wait to get together and race both bikes👍😁

[@carlokun]

Great job Vas. One of the best videos I have seen showing off this bikes capabilities. Looking forward to seeing how the upgrades hold out.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks. Had a great time driving it and can't wait to get out there again with the upgrades. 😁

[@clean1566]

Nice video! Having one myself, I thought you did real well landing those jumps! Nice park also.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. 😎👍

[@jagergerg9771]

My new favorite channel can’t wait to see the next video with the upgrades

[@minibikemafia]

One beep=unlimited Two beeps is anti wheelie/street mode Three beeps is wheelie mode. Awesome sends btw!!✊✊✊

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks. I'm gonna stick something on the radio so I know which is which. LoL. As soon as I started driving it I realised I had no idea what the modes were. 😂

[@minibikemafia]

@@AussieRCPlayground seem like mine starts out in random modes haha. My brain thinks it's in the mode I left it in, but it never is😂. Can't believe how bulletproof they are, finally broke a shock linkage at the skate park, that's it so far✊✊

[@lepiaf128]

The best run I’ve seen on the net excellent, I wish in Bondi We had a course like this one.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thanks. 😎

[@fabianbermudez5708]

awsome jump men and your driving skills good job👍🏻👍🏻👊🏻👊🏻

[@HobbiesRfun]

BMX tracks look like they make great 1/4 scale RC motocross tracks compared to regular RC off road tracks.

[@stevemoon2136]

Although an incredible RC, I do think a large portion of how well it handles here is down to your driving skills. Always enjoy your running videos, keep it up. 👍😎👍

[@AussieRCPlayground]

You're very kind, thank you Steve. 😎👍

[@harlyquin]

that thing is impressive!

[@aussiercguy4641]

Can drive/ride man! 😏👌 impressive 😎

[@armandopace6113]

Hi mate nice bike hahaha it does fly well another great video. I got that gutter the other night and broke a rear arm on my kraton 6s. Lucky I got a heap of parts when rem closed down 👍😂

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Haha, I'm sure some of those bits and pieces I sometimes find at Altona probably belong to you. 😁 Every now and then I find a body pin, or a shock cap, or a piece of Lexan. LoL. Hopefully one day I'll bump into you there. 😎

[@armandopace6113]

@@AussieRCPlayground hahaha yeah same here. I keep missing you there mate 👍🤣🤣

[@maximuskodrrata2697]

Great video sir.. May I know what time position is the gyro gain on the leftmost knob ?

[@holden5594]

i have the blue one too i love it so much

[@GrumpyOldManRC]

Should have tried wheelie mode on one one of those long jumps. Might have done a back-flip!

[@EJ-74]

Awesome jumps 🔥

[@DifalcoConcrete]

Looks like me , when I ride . 👊🤟☝️

[@tommyg5729]

Been wanting to buy one, but always out of stock. Now winter is here in nothern michigan, so next spring

[@adamlee7524]

OK I'm convinced I'm getting one

[@OGPAPERBOY77]

1 beep = offroad mode 2 beeps = street mode 3 beeps= wheelie mode Amazon has batteries for this thing they last Nihewo 2s 7500mah 100c

[@damondavis842]

Pretty cool. Excellent job

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you! Cheers! 😎

[@deefa_damo]

Nice - tempted to go and buy one!

[@Hirthirthirt]

my girl got me one for Xmas this year (2023)....very very curious how it performs.....

[@eddajay]

Dope 🔥 what are u using to record?

[@Timessquareful]

Cool 😊

[@RC4us]

great vid as always my friend

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Thank you. 🙂

[@drroomba5045]

Hey Vas, on those set of jumps with 3 mounds (second biggest set) have you ever cleared the 3rd mound? Which car ? Cheers

[@AussieRCPlayground]

There have been a couple of cars that have some very close to clearing the 3rd jump, but the most recent has been the TC Kagama. I'd have to go back and have a look at my other vids to confirm this, but I think the HPI Vorza S truggy came close, too. Even my Kraton 8S with the Leopard motor has cleared some distance there at well. But as far as cleared all 3 completely...? 🤔 I'm sure I've done it at some stage, but I'm probably forgetting which car did it. LoL. I've driven so many there, it's hard to keep track of them all.

[@stephenshea4215]

I'm guessing the gyro will stop any back or front flips ?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I don't know, I didn't really attempt a backflip, I think I would need to have taller gearing for more wheel speed. Maybe? 🤷‍♂️

[@Killa_b_rc]

Nice vid! With all those high flying sends I have to ask. Did any spokes on your wheels bend?

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Man, why did you ask that question... So, I went and checked it just now and yup, my front wheel is busted. It's still usable, but it has several broken spokes. I never noticed it until you mentioned it... 🤦‍♂️ The spokes are all plastic and they just collapsed with all the jumping. Rear wheels is good as new, but the front is all kinds of messed up. 😩

[@rcchronicles25]

Would anyone know if this is better than the SkyRC SR5 model? If so, why?

[@rcalltypes8230]

Nice, but $1000.00 is a bit rough on the pocket.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I totally understand, but honestly, it's worth every dollar. And that's coming from someone that paid for his (mine wasn't free). If you're into bikes at all, this is a must-have. 😎

[@alantaylor353]

Australian money is bloody weird.!! The ProMoto costs between £580 & £630 here in the UK, which is A LOT of money.!! 3S BLX Arrmas are around £350. A TRX4 is £600 ish.. It seems that anything that comes from the US is more expensive than the other manufacturers... Especially Axial, Losi & Traxxas.!

[@bella0167]

Ahahahaha hahaha i race an ride Motocross. It looks so funny.I love it.👍

[@alantaylor353]

A very cool RC.... But that price.!! £580 to £630 here in the UK.! I simply can't justify paying that much.

[@MrBEEFCAKE26]

I have from Bristol in uk worth every penny pal trust

[@kenknox6424]

What kind of battery r u running zeee 2s has a 9000 mah

[@AussieRCPlayground]

It was a 5200mah and it was a "hand-me-down" pack I got off a colleague at work. No idea how old it is or how many cycles it has. Both cells are fine and it holds charge ok, but I doubt it hold 5200mah like it used to. The second pack I used in the video is a 5000mah Spektrum pack and it lasted way longer.

[@MaverickAus]

Blue Out of stock, red out of stock, green out of stock.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I know there are more on the way, but they're out of stock because they're super popular.

[@jguillermoii]

You start upgrading these bikes with third party parts, you will start to have issues with durability. I have 3 Promotos and begun upgrading with aluminum parts from Treal and GPM and I started having stock parts breaking particularly the rear suspension. I highly recommend if you are going to trick your bike is to stay with Losi parts. I downgraded my bikes and kept them stock, punish them, and no breaking parts issues.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

I agree that too much aluminium can be a bad thing with any RC, so no doubt this bike is no different. However, whenever someone drops the name "GPM" I immediately smirk... 😏 I've used GPM parts in one of my trucks before and very quickly became aware of how cheap and nasty those parts are. Now, to be fair, this was a few years ago and maybe they have improved their quality since, but it still doesn't stop me from thinking; "well, it's GPM, what do you expect?". 😏 But regardless of what I think of their products, at the end of the day, I'm a reviewer and content creator, so since I have those parts already, I'll install them and see what fails or what failures those parts cause. It will educate me, my audience and the manufacturer. 😉

[@toddlauretteHabsforlife]

It looks fun, but in Canada, they are almost $800, or more, u can buy a used real dirt-bike for that much! As much fun as u had riding it, im sure had u gone out on a dirtbike for the day, u would have had just as much fun. They do look fun tho, just a bit expensive.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

Don't know what type or how old of a dirt bike you can buy for $800, but I'm sure it won't be in very good condition or reliable. There are other factors in owning a dirt bike that will eventually add up to way more than this Losi, such registration, service costs, maintenance and trailer hire or registration of said trailer (if you own it), but we won't mention those. 🤫 Yes, some RCs are expensive and this one retails for $950aud here, and if you search hard enough you can find a dirt bike or even a car for that sort of money. But in no way will it be "cheaper" than owning this bike or will you have as much fun with it (although, that's subjective). At the end of the day, if you're looking to justify why you shouldn't buy the Losi, then you will make whatever analogy you want to suit that narrative. 😏 I can easily flip your example to justify buying by saying "why spend thousands on a new dirt bike, riding gear, rego, trailer, etc., when I can just spend $800 and have a heap of fun with an RC bike?" 😁

[@toddlauretteHabsforlife]

@@AussieRCPlayground Way too much writing, sorry i didnt read it, im sure u have a great valid point, or two, lol, maybe 3 or 4...I obviously struck a chord, i wasn't making fun of your hobby, it looks like a lot of fun. I never said it looked stupid, or u are stupid for playing with toys, i never said any of that stuff, i was polite toward u and courteous. Simply said they were expensive. Later.

[@AussieRCPlayground]

LoL. You didn't struck a cord at all. Take the time and have a read of what I said. It's all good and I appreciate the support. 😊👍

[@paulleguyt7817]

I will never buy anything from Losi again. They simply stop selling spare parts (even of vehicles that they still sell new today) and they leave you with a 550$ useless vehicle. That's no way to treat customers.

[@uroprop]

Backflip Nosedive god trying a bike that can't back flip .still good.. Rc of the year
