Is it for everybody like no matter where you live you will have fun with it

[@dieseldabz7104]

Wow this thing is cool. As a ex racer from the late 90's into early '00's who's career was forever changed in July of '00 when while practicing for an upcoming race I broke my neck in 3 places plus tons of other bones as well. Having this would be closest I could ever get to the feeling of being back on a bike after all these years. Not being able to do something you did for so long and absolutely loved isn't easy.

[@ickleshouse]

sorry to hear of your injury bro' that's why i want one of these as i am not brave enough to do it for real

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Absolutely amazing, the technology they are using is incredible

[@RCReviewChannel]

Much mechanical and electronic wizardry were employed to deliver fun. Looks rad too!

[@Yourfriendwasmagnificent]

Love mine, I hope Losi make a WSB or MotoGP road version 🏍

[@josephadair790]

Summit Racing has all 3 colors, over 30 in stock. I ordered mine yesterday and will be delivered tomorrow FedEx. I got the Green one.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Very good to hear!!!!

[@AnthonyELombardi]

Yeah, right, you didn't order one.

[@josephadair790]

what`s your problem.@@AnthonyELombardi

[@dieseldabz7104]

​@@AnthonyELombardiGo do your homework child

[@spenn2007]

It's been a dry RC summer for ME personally, i refreshed my Promoto Mx, and my goodness it's awesome. Coming out of turn rooster tailing kicking up dirt never gets old, and i have exceptional command whipping this badboy, i could race if had the opportunity. Your pretty damn good yourself, one of the best run videos of this on RC youtube IMO.

[@madmikecustomrcrockcrawlers]

Francis awesome video, I got mine a few months ago. Lowered it and been flat tracking it. New wheels and tires and it haul's as. Takes a little bit of time to understand how it works to get it to do what you want it to. Already got it to back flip. Cost some parts, but you can get it to flip. I honestly just like how it slides side ways on dirt. I'm more into flat tracking and this bike gets it done. Badass bike and glad you got one now Francis

[@mikewatson5570]

would be cool to see a video of it flat tracking!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Oh man, oh man... something new to learn!!! How did you lower it?

[@xtyano440]

I had one few weeks ago.. this thing gives you a new RC experience! tons of fun as long as you have extra batteries

[@da6965]

How long is run time? Picked one up yesterday.

[@steveblackbird]

100% spot on Francis. I too had to wait months and just got mine last week. As someone that's been into RC bikes for many years, the Losi Promoto is a huge game changer. It's so much easier than older bikes. Yes stock it isn't as fast as the older designs but ease of use and performance the Losi leaves everything in it's wake. It's simply amazing as the whole thought process in driving an RC bike is simplified. That's a huge win. It still takes a long time to stop...and you need to slow for turns and still be smooth, but it's wicked fun!. The Flywheel being in the centre mass is the biggest feature..Older bikes had it in the rear wheel and it lead to some funky performance quirks especially off road. On 2s it's plenty fast. I use my Zeee 5200mah hard case batteries and they fit fine but I did need to remove the balance lead protector to fit into the bay. It's the only RC I've seen in my 40+ years in the hobby where the aftermarket support has been biblically HUGE. Upgrades for everything...It's mind blowing!!

[@garyjordan3121]

Awesome video. Got mine a month ago. Haven't ran mine yet ,it was so hard to get I don't want to mess it up,lol.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Mine sat in a box for a week due to battery issues. Also I wanted the first run to be fully documented in case I broke it.

[@redndeyes]

😂 huge waste of money but hey its yours. Imagine if someone really wanted one to use it and have fun... 😂 greed on a shelf😂

[@danielplainview4587]

​@@redndeyesridiculous argument.

[@RC4X4]

Great review and running video. I use a ZEE Power 2s 5200mah pack and it fits perfect. I just removed the balance tap handle housing and the balance lead tucks right up.

[@ReadySetRC]

Took mine to a baseball field like this, what a blast. Those jumps, AMAZING! Great video👍

[@WTFRCCars]

The zeee 8000mah 2s fit in perfectly and much cheaper than spectrum lipos

[@forbiddenbeat]

Francis!! So cool to see you doing these reviews. Can’t wait to get one of these for Christmas 🎅

[@shaynestebbing5597]

Awsome review 👌 ,I just got my Losi promoto KX but upgraded the battery, on my first run I was impressed..put I through all 3 run modes on paved surface only but managed to scratch the rear fender and decals in wheelie mode ..I have a spare plastics kit and decals luckily..can't wait to rip it on the bmx track next session.. cool video man I enjoyed watching it 🤙 from 🇦🇺

[@AltmuehlDrone]

1st thought (without being into rc cars and motobikes at all): wow, this is a nice vehicle/toy. 2nd thought: let's see what it costs. oh wow, that's a lot. 3rd thought: functioning wheel breaking on the front... wow, it is a fine piece of engineering. :D

[@RCReviewChannel]

Yeah, it's got many layers of mystery and awesomeness

[@TheRealMCJ74]

Hi all, just got mine and super excited. Fantastic video. I am in the middle of 2 feet of snow so need to wait a bit yet to run. Just looking for some ideas on critical spare parts I should stock up on. Sounds like chain and plastics but curious if anyone else has seen or come across anything that other bike owners are seeing? thanks all and thanks RC Review.

[@rcgoodtimes6657]

I bet those BMX track jumps were so satisfying 🔥🙌

[@RCReviewChannel]

You can hear is in our voice. So shocked and stoked.

[@justblaze1980]

its a 3800kv runs at 22000rpm. An this thing is worth every dollar smiles for miles get one asap if dont have one

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

They should see if the cost can be lowered and get more people buying it and racing, they should be able to offset the cost with the parts people will be buying in droves when they have a great day of running these.

[@Versatilefilms]

Best review page ever !

[@malsmith2012]

That's the best Moto video ever! Looked epic Francis! 😁👌

[@DetoursRC]

Wow that step up jump at the bmx track was awesome. Looks soo fun. I saw they are in stock so I ordered the red one yesterday.

[@RCReviewChannel]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@mkv6spd]

If you can get these from your local hobby shop. Some might be flooded with these bikes like we are. Gad 14 in stock a few days ago. Now we have 7

[@cjv29er]

Wow that sound of the flywheel is…nuclear.

[@RCReviewChannel]

It sounds like an old United Airlines plane waiting to take off at the runway.

[@ERKNEES2]

Dude I'm blown away by the front brake!! 4:09

[@vbspeed7571]

I got thia a while.back and its grate some upgrades r neeeded if u like 2 jump

[@scottsherwood9665]

Great review! You showcased some things that no else has. Keep making great videos cheers!

[@JasonGunn418]

My hobby shop sold several of these bikes. They are being resold after a few hours of playing with them. I'm sure there will be a circuit for racing them. But for now they are just shelf queens. I will probably get on from someone that doesn't want it anymore.

[@wutsit2uman]

Awesome review! Can you share the location of the dirt jump location? Cheers!

[@matthewwhitby5368]

I want one hopefully santa gives me one 😂

[@RCReviewChannel]

You need to write Santa a looong letter explaining how you've been good this year. :)

[@artyfishnerd9244]

Make a review with the proline s3 for promoto

[@Fats-yg1jd]

love mine its a keeper !!!

[@Myro-di4cp]

Hi Francis, greetings from Manila, would appreciate your inputs since I am planning to get this Losi Promoto: 1. How is the tire wear running it on road? How many packs before the tires go bald and get cut then unserviceable? I got the Himoto and the SR5 before and the first to go were the rear tires, and since the flywheel was in the rear wheels, it was not worth it to buy the whole rear tire/wheel assembly. 2. How easy is it to change/replace the rear wheel/tire when they wear out? Thanks.

[@scottyahol]

DXF 8400 140c. 45mph. Great fit

[@rcontherocks]

Hi Francis, How to setup lipo battery cutoff on the Losi Promoto? My battery went to zero charge on my first run.

[@RCscale101]

Has people forgotten the SkyRC SR5 Dirtbike? It has the flywheel and ease of drive like the to Losi... Sure the Promoto is more advanced as it is newer and it looks so cool. The SR5 is 3S though and goes faster!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Pretty good. But that's definitely at a different level. Flywheel on the rear wheel is definitely not ideal. Bad weight balance and the unsprung weight really makes it bounce around since the suspension cannot affect the heavy weight of the motor and flywheel. Proportions are off too. But I'm sure that was a stepping stone to get this Losi devloped.

[@Bogues_88]

No comparison at all

[@steveblackbird]

I've been into RC bikes for many years, The SR5 and Anderson M5/Himoto MX400 are awesome bikes as I have them, but the Losi is leaps and bounds ahead. The flywheels in the back wheels lead to some funky handling issues especially off road that the Promoto simply doesn't do. Also the head shake/Tank slapper effect is a non issue with the Losi too...dampened head tube... That's huge!! Great bikes the older ones, and yes they are faster but the Losi handles so much better.....and wheelie mode is such a laugh.

[@axellness]

Do a supermoto video next ;)

[@lesabre1972]

you're pretty good at that bike!!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Pretty crazy what I was able to do on the first day.

[@ENRICTATCHE]

Great video and amazing jumps! Just a question! Is the stock Esc and motor 3s capable? If I want to run it in 3s, does I only need a bec for the flywheel?

[@RCReviewChannel]

It is not 3s capable because of the Flywheel motor. So get a strong BEC for the flywheel motor, rewire and it will do 3s for sure.

[@GeddyRC]

Heyy isn't that the same BMX park that RazorRC goes to all the time? That's pretty cool!

[@shanehambrick7565]

The jumps look the same for sure. I caught that too

[@DifalcoConcrete]

Awesome video, more please ✌️👊🔥

[@Bogues_88]

I can use shorty packs no problem at all .. I also run lcg 6800 mah battery no problem at all ... I don't unplug from the plug just from the bullets in the battery

[@GaetanoCrisci]

Man what about using it without activating the flying wheel? is possible for skilled users?

[@themidwestconnect]

absolutely love mine!!!

[@tomtomlin3408]

One quick tip to make life easier, I dremeled/filed a ramp so that when you close the battery compartment and insert the body clip thru the hole it doesen't jam to a stop, it slides easily into position... saves a lot of %$*@###

[@RCReviewChannel]

Great advice. Thank you!

[@bretrishelrc9789]

it can be frustrating but it is fun. it just takes some skill

[@RCReviewChannel]

What's really cool is the frustration factor seems very low on this one.

[@Bogues_88]

Depends where U run it. It's very hard on a 1/10th tight RC track and especially if you are practicing with out Marshall's and have to pick it up every couple of minutes . But in a place with out pipe track walls like at this bmx park it it's easy to control and makes you think it's easy to control because it doesn't matter exactly where U go. But look on KZbin people are racing them with some success on 1/10 scale tracks but they far more suited to 1/8 scale tracks ...

[@RotoRCol]

What is the purpose of this flywheel? To stabilize in jumps?

[@RCReviewChannel]

It is to hold it up even just on straights on turns. Allows it to handle all surfaces and many unexpected, dynamic forces including jumps.

[@carlosjuarez7449]

Man, that bike will take anything you throw at it!

[@RCReviewChannel]

It has been very impressive so far. More testing to come!

[@WOLFTRAXRC]

I dont know anyone with a Ricky Carmichael 2wheel R/C DIRTBIKE 💥💥💥

[@murphshall]

Are you talking about the radio shack one? I have one 😊

[@davemutsch5666]

Where is this place???

[@EricLaermans]

But is it fun. And then, for how long is it fun?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Is it fun for a long time if you have a track to play on. If there are others to rally with, fun even longer. Otherwise, not so much. But there are a lot of stunts and tricks to learn so that keeps it entertaining.

[@yofizzle43]

Will it do back-flips tho🤔

[@RCReviewChannel]

I heard it can. Just need a very steep ramp and hold full throttle in the air.

[@terpsquirter7107]

He sold his eye brows for the losi 😂😂

[@JuanVargas-ud5dg]

What park is that ??

[@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.

[@ralphhowing3473]

You mentioned, is it fun well you sure look like a kid in a toy store so that answers that question!!!!!! They are awesome except for the bobble head rider!!!!

[@RCReviewChannel]

Totally! Proof is in the pudding!

[@boduke9428]

Wow. That scale realism is incredible. At times it looked just like a real motocross rider having a seizure mid race... that jerks and twitches gran mal style. It's neat but i don't want it. $300 would even be a pass. It really hurts my feelings . I wanna give Losi more money. I love my SBR 2.0. I want a SBR 2.0 or 5T sized RZR Rey and Arrma 8s/Xmaxx sized 8s LMT mega or monster truck. Last but not least, my SCX6 is lonely and needs a large scale crawler friend. TRX8S? ARRMA needs a 8s 1/5 scale Mojave also. Surely I'm not alone in wanting more large scale everything?

[@RCReviewChannel]

Right on, it's not for everyone. But there's never been an rc moto before that's been so fun and usable.

[@mark675]

You're into boring crawlers 😂

[@soma_rc]

I guess this won't be fun without a very big open space. Not for me then.

[@AnthonyELombardi]

Not impressed

[@Bogues_88]

Then obviously you have never used one. I'm sure Losi will recall all the unsold bikes because of your feedback. 😂😂

[@gregorholmes1837]

It’s never honest when you get a free product. Your being dishonest about your honestly. Shame. And now unsub

[@RCReviewChannel]

Please don't let the door hit you on your way out. I did buy it btw with my own funds from my piggy bank.

[@ninerminer370]

I was thinking the opposite. Because his review is so late after the release, he probably paid for it. Reviews done before the release I assume are the free products.

[@Bogues_88]

People that can't afford these are so bitter lol. Unlike the cheap china crap that a lot of KZbin idiots promote as the best thing ever , this is actually decent and by far and away the best RC release in the last 10 years if not even longer. Nothing else compares to this. Anyone can make an RC car. They sit on ground and don't fall over. People really can be so dumb.

[@mark675]

​@roblapouple7552 so true! Plenty of rc cars out there which are mostly great (apart from boring crawlers but to each their own 😂) Rc was getting boring with the same stuff being released, this is a breath of fresh air

[@Bogues_88]

My flywheel hasn't got louder in more than 50 runs. The weakness is the chain stretches very fast. The weakness is the rear plastics break very easy

[@Bogues_88]

No no no don't buy crappy USB charger and spectrum battery unless U enjoy wait 8 hours to charge

[@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.
