[@jguillermoii]

Great Job👏🏻. I'm intrigued by Losi's hesitance when it comes to designing the bike's power around 3S.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes I feel the builders and testers had to have done it for sure

[@Jaguar-s7f]

Because the more power and speed, the quicker the vehicle gets destroyed, especially in inexperienced hands.

[@coolhawk2003]

Gyro slows down quicker when you leave the power on for the bike. Can you put the helper wheels on the opposite sides? So they lean abit forward . To give you tighter turns

[@angelteamnolimit624]

6s it the way to go that motor can handle the blx 185 or mamba x 6s with np

[@toysforboysrc]

Looking good! You’ll have to block that on your next run. Seems the wheelie mode controls the speed in order to control the wheelie. I’m sure we’re all waiting on that top speed🏁

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

Hope you stay safe from the hurricane I know what its like to have them coming. Mine tends to wheelie a bit to far on the rear fender from time to time for some reason it has too much punch or something it is my favorite mode. It will be interesting to see how the electronics that work the modes handle the increased power that was an incredible amount of work on that more than I want to do it was amazing to watch

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes Im wondering to 🤔

[@glaanon4225]

I think being 3s would be better on the asphalt like a big ass parking lot. With the street tread of course.

Going good so far. Just to run now

Any mods needed to fit the 3s in battery box you never mentioned it

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

Nice job , I yanked the 3s esc from vendetta too. Jsuk , the 4s esc in kraton and outcast is smaller than 100 amp 3s from vendetta, probably the same size as the 2s guy , ridiculous they can’t over power them a bit to last longer run cooler we talking pennies and only not because of marketing

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The 120amp 4s line of arrma esc are bigger then the 100amp esc 3s line ?

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

@@earlmoorhead5555 no they’re smaller , I know it makes no sense, take a look at one your 4s arrmas.

Yes I will I just have them packed up right now I’ll check my esc bin I should have a loose one

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

@@earlmoorhead5555 yes I looked, it’s same size as the 2s , they’re really pinched Pennie’s with escs , I guess if they offered 4s capable , no one would upgrade or over volt there motors , the hobby always for the first time buyer markets. Did you add the bec in the motorcycle or did come with ? I’m going go hobby shop today , if that have one I get it , I like the new bell rey but I’d want the livery one heat wave 👋

[@RcPlayer-tt2vw]

I feel like all these RTRs are underpowered escs , first thing I’ve been doing lately also , 3s to 4s. 4s to 6s , I wouldn’t be happy with 2s on anything anymore either , the over powering makes em RIP

[@antoninus1]

I'm wondering how you get power output from 2. ESC, with the servo cable cut off = gets no signal. How goes that? What brand is that 2. ESC for the gyro? Thank you!

[@antoninus1]

Found the brand and studied the manual. But how to get permanent output voltage, without connect to an RX?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

@antoninus1 the gyro motor and esc is all built into itself it’s only using the power ground off the receiver wire 🤷🏻‍♂️ no signal other then the activation for the controller I’ve explained it in the instructions videos on the external BEC I installed to run the gyro on 2S while upgrading the esc for the drive motor 💯

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I think your thinking about the reciever wire and the gyro has it own to control on and off as that internal bec is set to 6V on the receiver to control the gyro on off switch the external bec is now the power source for the gyro and ties into the battery power you plug in and convert it to 2s no matter the battery you install now 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@scottward8446]

Looks more like its done to tidy the cable out of the way instead of cutting the cable and redoing the connectors

[@joelchump]

Where are the locations? The park, asphalt pump track and dirt track?

[@roderickgreen2762]

What type 3s pack all I can find to fit is ProTek shorty pack 4800

[@scottconstantine891]

Great videos cool to see how you can really bring more power out of these rc,s. With the vendetta why won't it run on a 4s battery do they have it programmed not to

[@earlmoorhead5555]

4s is the 120amp esc and it’s a little bigger

[@LionelGuy-oc8or]

The Vendetta will only run on 3S , The ESC and the Motor can not handle 4S power , A 4S battery will most likely burn out ESC or over heat the Motor and cause it to fail , or both ESC and motor could fail , I would not recommend putting in a 4S battery , it can still hit 70 mph on 3S . If you want to go faster I would suggest you buy the Traxxas XO1 , 100+ MPH

[@earlmoorhead5555]

@LionelGuy-oc8or have you watched my vendetta series? Let me say the motor handles way more then 4s lol but I have a playlist on it as arrma shared my vendetta review of 100mph one part changed before it was released to the public 👌👀

[@nolimitrc1]

Heck yea brotha

[@ooze1016]

Does the esc need any programming?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

There set up for speed on the vendetta but I will check them

[@ronniecreason7870]

VERY COOL

[@junebugpetty7386]

What tire in the front is that a stock tire? Do you drive it with the super promoto on the back and the stock on the front? How does it ride like that?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Waiting on my super Moto tire to come in just received the rear last week all my parts are still on back order

[@junebugpetty7386]

With the super pro moto tire on the back how is it in grass?

[@offroadmarkt]

Earl, I think Spektrum printed 2S on the ESC because of the 6V flywheel motor. It gets power 1on1 from batt. That no one comes to idea to connect 3S. But I'm sure that 85A ESC can handle 3S, like the normal non-promoto version.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

The firmware will not turn on that esc anything over 2S I showed this in a video throttle won’t work and error flashes

[@joserobinson8419]

Time for some action🎬

[@gorillabeartech4577]

Also another question Earl does the new Losi Promoto x motorcycle come with a single 1/10th scale motor ?…. Or is it a 1/8th scale motor ?… how big is this motorcycle ….?
