Nice vid Greg. I noticed that when you removed the broken piece, it still looked ok. There's a product that I use that's better than crazy glue, you may have heard of it it's called "Q-bond" it comes with a very powerful glue, black powder for plastics, and grey powder for metal repairs. I think it's great to repair RC plastic parts in case of an emergency.

One tip I use on my bikes... get some stiff nylon rod say 3mm (like brushcutter line) and use that as a lean bar. Bend it rearward so it doesn't catch.. Doesn't look too out of place and does a great job of keeping the back wheel on the ground if you tip over hence throttling out and away. Plenty of RC race bike action on YT to see what I mean.

Great video and information on the bike. Out of the box, my bike would not wheelie. I thought it may have been the cheap/weak battery I was using but that wasn't the case. Another KZbinr suggested tightening up the slipper clutch which worked for about 2 batteries, now I'm back to very short (5 foot long) wheelies or no wheelies at all. I've continued to tighten the clutch until the nut has bottomed out---but my lackluster results are the same. I even took the clutch apart and lightly sanded the discs with 1000 grit sand paper. I run on very coarse asphalt so traction isn't a problem. Just curious if you or any of your viewers have had similar issues. Otherwise the bike is a hoot to drive. Btw, I tried to contact Losi and Horizon with zero success. Thanks again!
@ninthislandrc Жыл бұрын
Just an idea for gluing the Holeshot to the 2-piece wheel. Instead of using the usual thin CA glue, use a thicker CA that takes longer to dry. Put the tire in the wheel, but NOT in the 'grooves', and screw the wheel together. Next, using a Q-tip (or similar), lay down the CA into the groove on one side of the wheel, coating the bottom, and both sides, and then 'pull' that side of the tire into the groove. Once that side is done, repeat the process for the other side. Once both sides have dried, do a light coating, using the usual thin CA, around the edges of both sides, essentially "sealing" the tire & wheel together. Just an idea worth trying. 🤙🏼

If it was raced on a track with multiple bikes on an actual Motocross style track having the bars off is the way to go. It appears as though with the throttle pinned regardless of orientation other than oaying on its side already it can get upright fairly easily and keeo going. So on a race setting the throttle will be oinned most of the time which would allow for aggressive handling and actaully should be the optimal method for driving it in lue of the need for forward momentum to keep upright. Cant wait for some.organized ravesnto take place with these things
