New LOSI ProMoto MX First Run At The BMX Track & What Will Help Protect Your Rc From Damage?

[@GussCustomCreations]

Biggest thing I found with mine is momentum. It takes some getting used to but it's like a real bike. Have to keep the speed just right and power out of the corners. Love mine.

[@Bob-Jenkins]

I just watched my first ever KZbin advert… lol. They definitely went overboard with their "quick start" guides. On the bike, the box, three cards, and of course the quick start pamphlet. They're treating us in the land down under like they do the Seppos… a nanny state. Just playin'. 👍🙃

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Lmao 🤣

Nice seeing you out there breaking it in.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

[@bryanharen8212]

I really like your channel, it's very helpful to anyone into rc cars or bikes. Things are explained very well. 🙂👍👍

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Thanks

[@BPJeep]

I put a few layers of packing tape on my rear fender. The front brakes need to be taken apart and cleaned often, also make sure the rotary piston move smoothly.

[@dinkeredwards5187]

that was some fun!!! your driving at some points was awesome you pulled off some wild stuff..I gotta have one lol..Ive just now started looked into the RC world looks Awesome..glad i caught your video incase i do get one very good info on the protection prep parts in the beginning...Thanks

[@eddiewhite1542]

great video you were jumping like a pro. wasnt going to get one but after watching this video i might just get one. look lots of fun

[@Tinkersrc]

Really did well I can see patients is key but what a terrain, Buster 🏆

[@gregorydawson6249]

Thanks Earl..some good stuff to keep in mind for when I get mine

[@TerranceNeill]

Nice driving, Great Video! You got a dream place to run this bad boy. I was blessed to get a red one on the early pre-order. This this is just plain FUN! On loose or soft dirt I found the key was simply keeping moving, On sand as you have shown it's tough to keep it moving. I ran mine on hard dirt with some loose gravel. Overall I found to be flat out amazing!

[@terrykuehn2686]

Hey Earl! Nice little rip out on the BMX Track that cyce was doing pretty good out there on the doubles and cross jumping and landing and running in that grass and scrub brush areas till that front crash on the forks? Liking the Losi Moto-X motorcycle and the tips your using on it Great video!😉👍📹💯✔️👋👋👋👋

[@nicksullivan2212]

Another great video with lots of content. Thank you very much. 😊👊🏻👊🏻

[@JIPPERR_1]

Thats some of the best driving I've seen on one of these. Losi did a good job making this easy to drive but i think its a bit of a learning curve to be really good with it. Losi put themselves in a wierd spot releasing this then the baja rey v2 just shortly after. I guess it was smart to release the bike first cause the baja rey will definitly sell in the long run.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes it really test your skills but easy at the same time crazy

[@jhambone9190]

Been watching your stuff since SBR2.0 came out. That was the last RC I bought. I've been trying to make due with what I got, but I may have to go for this. I love scale, realism, and a skill ceiling. This seems to have it all.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes cool fun rc

[@EricLaermans]

It has everything except scale and realism 😂. Better off buying and building an r/c car imho.

Good calll with the tape earl good luck on getting more power to the bike

[@dub2536]

I just got this bike. I'm a bit paranoid about driving it hence im holding back o0n that. I will research your content to look for updates on your time with this rc vehicle. I never had a 2 wheeler before and have been forewarned of this rc being fragile in certain ways. Recent subscriber. Great video. Best wishes. ty for the content and advice. o7v PS. IMO this electric car issue will cause more problems. The stolen charging cords for copper used to charge E Cars and open borders is.....u know. 1940's Henry Ford made a car 70+% out of hemp that ran using hemp fuel that we could have grown ourselves ....i could write a book. But i suspect big oil cancelled that for continued profit for them $. But idk. Peace

[@Paul0088]

That looks like the perfect terrain for it 🎉

[@Bluecuban71]

Maybe Rc Guy will 3D print a helmet cover , elbow pads . It jumps so smooth & recovers from front flips pretty easy ! Glad you found the exhaust tip . I've seen a few going 3s and they fly ! Crazy how they want us to go green but turn around and implement crazy laws !

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Right 🤷🏻‍♂️all about the money and control

[@rcjoe406]

Forget track racing this seems to be the terrain for this lots of space and good soft dirt

[@TheDeLeonGarageCollection]

I changed out the plastics On mine to orange and got a new black jersey. I’ve started riding a motorcycle to save on gas. The Nanny state never fails to disappoint. I font even know what Hoops I need to jump to go fly my new park flyer

[@benlandrum75]

Hey Earl. Im thinking of getting one of these. What is the purpose of having the steering opposite?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Just like a real bike to get it to lean to turn

[@AlvinWeafer]

Hey EARL where’s that location your running the rc Mx bike…Thanks

[@lexsteel12]

There is one more thing you should check. Before riding the bike. The rubber thing on the exhaust pipe. It keeps coming off when crashing the bike. Another KZbinr noticed it first. He glued the rubber thing to the exhaust pipe. Mine just popped off as well. I have to glue it as well. Another issue I found. The range on the stock transmitter is not that great. I was losing range around 100 or so feet. Not great at all. I wish I could use my RadiLink radio. I would give me all the range I need.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yep fell off in the video

[@rcguygarage]

One tiny thing I found was as soon as you turn off the flywheel you can then turn remote off that way you don't need to listen to the remote 😜🤪

[@joshmcbride7188]

He bro di u check temps at all along the way? Curious of how hot it gets?! Cheers love the content

[@earlmoorhead5555]

No as you can’t really get to the motors underneath the covers installed on the promoto

[@BEASTMODERC]

What about using some fuel line for the foot peg?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Maybe

[@johnnyhaberfield721]

Earl.Some Hells Angels leathers for the rider would be good in Cally.If I did have one of these here in England I would get my granny to Knit the rider some nice woollen clothes.Its been rain and gales for over a week,which is great as I've had some time to fix my rigs..I do like that thing doing wheelies.good luck on 2 wheels.✌️

[@joserobinson8419]

How often you have to keep the drive chain oil lubricated ?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Say clean and lube after every day out

[@Bogues_88]

Yes

[@douglaselliott8298]

Waiting for delivery of mine. You bring up some practical precautions. I'm thinking perhaps the bottom corners on a small square or rectangular plastic container could be cut/shaped and Shoe-Gooed to the rider's elbows similar to the plastic arm guards humans who race motorcycles use. Similar could be done to protect the back of the rider's jersey. Shoe-Goo the boots to the pegs and fugetabout the helmet.

[@wasa7]

Looks a lot of fun ❤

[@jokermahem666]

Why not use earth magnets to keep the feet on the pegs or at least against the bike?

[@earlmoorhead5555]

I’m sure something can be made to work with magnets there no room to add them on the sides but in the hole of the foot could work somehow I just don’t have the means to make something right now 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mustangracer5124]

We may never know whether you can get a transponder on the bike for race scoring.

[@old-rcplane-phart]

There's enuf room in the battery area for a mylaps or amb xponder.

[@nofreerides7033]

Not a bad off-road first run 👍👍👍 were you hitting full throttle?? Seems lacking speed ? Yeah and personally I think on road and some off-road mix 👍👍👍.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Check all your wheel spokes. scene 3 different guys have bent spokes after jumping it.

At first when this bike dropped I wasn't sure what to think about it but what you have done with putting it on 3s has got me really wanting one just seeing it move alot quicker. I have a question for you I am getting a arrma outcast 4s v2 what batteries do you recommend as far as performance and also run time thanks for all your informative videos

I love that Losi did there homework the thing awesome! But they need to work on the suspension it sucks!

I feel Losi will be releasing a version 2 of this bike as it was so popular and once real world testing done some of the issues will be fixed then 🤷🏻‍♂️just a guess 😯

Tires are good conditions are loose it does great on short grass

Is there a Honda CR? SANDSHARK Racing 512.

[@L2theWcarscoffeelife]

They are fun arent they? Its totally different from a car you really need to be ahead of the bike to keep it moving kind of like flying a rc plane. I am enjoying it. I think the suspension especially the rear is too slow it bounces too much in the dirt I am hoping you will explore this I dont know enough about dialing in shocks with different oils to get it stay planted more in the dirt.

[@earlmoorhead5555]

Yes adding more weight as it heavy now I’m not sure about either

[@robertdriscoll9113]

If you hit the front brake, it should bring the actual nose of the bike. does that work?

[@Bogues_88]

In the air? Front brakes not that strong at all .. but rear brake electrictronic will bring nose down and throttle will lift front wheel .. just same as control RC car in the air

I totally disagree with creating more rules and laws to limit our freedoms. Let the kids ride the damn e bikes who freakin cares. Our power companies cannot make enough power to charge any more electric cars than what we already have. We can’t go full electric when the power doesn’t exist to charge them. Electric cars are a joke. It’s a huge environmental disaster to dispose of lithium batteries and in order to mine the lithium necessary to make them they use diesel vehicles that produce 100x more emissions than a combustion engine in a car. Not to mention the diesel it takes to deliver and transport all these batteries to consumers. The whole thing is a fraud. It’s not helping the environment or our natural resources whatsoever to force people to drive electric cars. Period. Good video dude as always 👍
