Promoto MX Range Test & Handling On 3S What Changes Needed For Speed Passes ?

[@hortonsweeping]

Your enthusiasm for the hobby is what we need thank you

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I definitely like to push my skills in modifications to these rc cars this one was tough at first 👌

[@alanflatau1685]

Wheely bar like my gasers?GREAT JOB ON THE MODS, GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

[@HBFTimmahh]

I used your file the caliper drum as well as added more tension to the caliper lever by preloading the torsion spring. Stops and returns to freewheeling no issues now with the front brake dragging at all. Also shortened the cable just a smidge by moving up the barrel clamp about 1mm.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes this brake is the one I filed on the curb not as clean as the one I did in the shop so I have another brake to replace this one out

[@henryfoster3212]

Just got off of work catching up with the video on the dirt bike thank you for making it I can't wait to see you do the 3s run 💯🔧👍 Earl Cool video

[@rctezluh42069]

you got that rear end sliding when braking and turning they call that backing-it in!! that was cool!! upvoted!!!

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Definitely fun to do under braking slides real good seems to act like a real bike going right now if I can get left on point it’s dialed in 🙏👌

[@MotoFamMayhem]

It's absolutely hitting the chain guide, I see road rash all over it right where it would contact the ground 💯

[@Paul0088]

Boom 🎉 still no news of our bikes in the UK, went to my local store today.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Wow that’s crazy

[@TimsRcsurgery]

It’s crap… id nearly not even bother now! I wanted one to make a video then offer as a prize for viewers but not much point now as KZbin is saturated with videos… it sucks to be in the UK at times 😩

[@Bluecuban71]

Test , Tune & Try then repeat 😅 Well worth it 👌 We find out on the 27th from Amain if we still want to keep on pre-order or (hoping) they give us a shipping date . Great video can't wait to see more 😀

[@andrewmagro7703]

Its all in the Testing and modification to get it where your happy with the R/C Earl ,great watching material thanks for all the follow-ups , just about the chain , im sure that you could get a length of real close size and links as there are many machines etc that use chains and therefore that would come with a sizing link and clip to accommodate your need just another thought thanks again Earl.

[@GussCustomCreations]

Great video Earl. Love my promoto so far.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Cool rc

[@vbspeed7571]

Heck ya I like the shout outs...😊😊😊💪🏁🏁🏁👍👍😘

[@islandrc-duke1972]

cool rc bike and awesome runs,cool upgrades

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks

[@ooze1016]

Going good so far. I like it🎉. My ESC came today. I just need the rest of the tutorial in the programming, and I'll be set. Was wondering about the heat that will build up to the motor as well, and there is no space to keep it cool.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Nice

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

I was curious now I know about reverse always interesting what you do to your rc's

[@jonvoogd511]

Definitely seems lots faster with the 3s. Maybe losi should make a 3s version available ?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I feel from there podcast there might be an onroad version

[@EZRider723]

I think even if you wanted to go through the hassle of making it work in reverse it would be very difficult to control with it basically having rear-wheel steering. Kinda like when people add rear-wheel steering to their Losi LMTs. It's cool for low speed maneuvers, but medium to high-speed handling will suffer.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

As Losi talked about tuning the promoto Mx they had to think of it as a one wheel bike not reliant on the steering and that was the break threw with the gyro tuning and the wheelie control I feel reverse would do ok because of this pod cast they did talking about that 🧐

[@RCandTHC]

Thanks for the vids, just a couple questions. Can you take out a link to shorten the chain? Thereby tightening the chain back up like a real bike chain?, Or is it a buy a new one everytime deal , after moving the wheel back far as possible ? Thanks again for all the vids they've been super helpful

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I haven’t seen a master link to do that

[@rastanonascension5246]

Probably the communication within/changing timing on the hole? .. Chain check sprocket and other gear for wear . On road bikes dirt bikes , u best to change the 3 , I may be wrong cause leg pressure lots heavier. If its the same wideness as a mob or bmx chaine .?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Smaller chain

[@ooze1016]

Thanks for the tutorial it will help

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Appreciate your support brother 🙏💯

[@beantop]

I wonder if it is posible to run a rear caliper and disc on a spare channel...

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Maybe

[@beantop]

@@earlmoorhead5555 Maybe run it on the same brake servo and set up like a throttle servo . Push for front brake pull for rear break. but that wouldn't allow to use both brakes simultaneously. Prolly not enuff room for another rear brake servo. plus you would want separate progressive Triggers (not just on or off) to apply front and rear brakes independently.. Wow!!! that's asking Alot and would further complicate the driving experience.

[@thatsmyrc]

Good looking moto 👍🏼

[@roderickgreen2762]

I put a Hobbywing EZrun 5400kv motor in mine plugged right in run Trinity 8000kv 150c batteries it's a beast so far ESC not getting hot if anything I'll just buy the matching Hobbywing ESC.

[@scottyahol]

Just use the small button to program the ESC manually

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes but I feel there an issue with the fan and the port as I was soldering real close to it 🤔😱

[@claytonrc259]

Someone needs to make wheels for the side that are made from like skate board wheels. I believe it would be a lot less scraping sound. When it scraps, that sound kinda sucks. A more rubber tire would be the ticket, I believe.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes and quieter to

[@BASHERSUNITED]

Do you think maybe you need to replace the 2s gyro esc with a 3s one as faster gyro speed may be needed for the extra power. The bike was built with a 2s x 2s balance and may require a 3s x 3s power balance.

[@kenknox6424]

Where did you get the $8 white plastic elbow protector pads from . Can you provide a link

[@earlmoorhead5555]

No link there at my local hobby shop in Palmdale California

[@kenknox6424]

Can you give me name of Hobby shop & phone number then please

[@CainSample]

The super moto wheel n tire are smaller...when turning left the sprocket is hitting causing it to slode out n gyro flips it

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Today’s video shows the guard is hitting 🔥👍

[@CainSample]

@@earlmoorhead5555 ok well my sprocket hit turning left on my stock bald tire...my super moto tires come Monday 🤙

[@scottyahol]

Would love to have a set of those elbow pads. How can I get them

[@earlmoorhead5555]

High desert hobby will be selling them I did a video on them and listed there information

[@tittentei7331]

I asked for a link to the elbow protection. But i found a lot of it:)

[@paulclancy2404]

You have to tell him keep weight on the right peg leg in close . Is possible the gyro works better tutning to opposite side

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Lol

[@billsrchobbyshop9996]

Its the chain guard rubbing the ground

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Hmm

[@stevejackson3564]

Can you slow the gyro down under the stock setting to see if it will turn sharper. Thanks for the video

[@earlmoorhead5555]

How’s that done ? The esc been replaced?

[@spenn2007]

When are you going to do a speed test EARL?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

When I can tune it for a speed pass and it’s working right

[@matthewcostner2937]

Can you do a manual program going thru the button sequence

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Idk I need the vendetta manual for it haven’t tried it

@Paul0088 I will 💯

[@Cruisingstreetmy64]

Full charged 2s pack is 8.4 volts, I feel your dead on with the 8 volt gyro feed, I'd question the extra weight of the 3s pack changing center or gravity significantly might have an affect on lean handling characteristics, just my thought, I love the vids tho

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I could see a pack causing an issue if it was both directions not just one 🤔

[@Cruisingstreetmy64]

My other Rc dirt bikes (arx540) and street bikes (x rider) the gyro is in the rear wheel and battery as low as possible, losi went with a chassis mounted gyro (extra heavy gyro for stability) and high mounted battery, but I love that the chassis mounted gyro doesnt create unsprung weight like previous dirt bike models...I'ma be doing this 3s venture with my losi soon and I have been following your videos im super grateful for you posting, Im still curious on handling characteristics possibly between a 3s 5k mah and lets say a 3s 4k mah or an equivalent 3s pack weight to a full size 2s..just food for thought

[@JIPPERR_1]

Lettssss gooooo!!!!

[@zerrickdracing6784]

Why not manually set the esc without the card

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Need my vendetta manual and hopefully it’s a vendetta one I removed

[@aussiedigger1441]

Any problems with flywheel? My stability flywheel has stop working 6th drive in? Was working fine previous drive? I quess it's esc or flywheel motor? So bummed I haven't even done a wheelie or jump.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Check to make sure the switch on the controller works turns on and off

[@zerrickdracing6784]

I think it's because the tire in the back is low why it does that

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Shouldn’t it do it both directions then ?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

It is the chain side and sprocket but I see no rubbing there anywhere 🧐

[@zerrickdracing6784]

@@earlmoorhead5555 I sounds like it rubbed the chain side more for some reason like it catches the roller then it sounds like it hits something after

[@earlmoorhead5555]

@zerrickdracing6784 yes feel like I’m not in control like a front wheel locks up but knowing it’s not really like the gyro is causing it somehow 🤷🏻‍♂️the first time I ran a promoto mx on the basketball court and was flipping over all the time and self correcting it’s like that but only left turn 🤔

[@lifeofhighlight]

the build is great but i think on the speedrun i got 2 concerns that chain, as well as the driver being a aerodynamics issue but on the plus side i think that 70 to 80mph might be possible

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes at 55mph is where most 4 wheel vehicles have flipping issues wonder if the bike will have the same wall

[@MotoFamMayhem]

The bike probably won't go backwards because of the castor and tracking somehow.... I know that if I'm rolling a motorcycle or even a bicycle backwards the bars continually go to full lock. It doesn't stay straight quite like it does when rolling forward 🤷‍♂️

Can't wait to get mine and some street tyres

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes

[@Rckid28]

8.4 is fully charged 2s so I don’t think it’s your gyro, it’s just faster

[@earlmoorhead5555]

But going rights perfect why only left at the same power level

[@Rckid28]

@@earlmoorhead5555 when you changed esc the weight side to side could be slightly different, but I would watch a video trying the bec at 7.4 vs 8.4… reason I like the channel is your thaughts and honest review…

What 3s pack fits?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

In the promoto series I show what battery and modifications I did for each battery I used 👍
