The ULTIMATE RC Motorbike!

This is every Kids dream RC Motorbike! The Losi Promoto. I've made this on into a Supermoto, using proline supermoto wheels and tyres, black trim and a Scorched RC rear swing arm.

Need to watch this asap! Currently snowboarding in VT but saw that absolutely epic hoodie in the thumbnail and had to say thanks for the support! 😎Awesome to see these things made it safely to the UK. Happy Bashing!!!🔥🔥🔥

[@TomleyRC]

Hoodie adds at least 100 Style points 👌

[@413RC]

IT LOOKS SO AWESOME!!! LOVE the supermoto look. Play a prank on your wife and tell her she shrunk your full size hoodies lol

[@russellmartins1676]

Delivery to the Uk for the sweater?

[@waynemcardell8688]

Great video Phil! Well worth the wait, I like the carbon vinyl look and the clothing is awesome! Like the hoodie you were given too

[@GlennJohn-y8w]

Great camera work and rockin bike music!😅😆🤣👍🔥🎸🎸🎸

[@muskokamike127]

I know I know I'm yakking a lot but shout out for the engineering behind it. It's off the hook! To combine the gyro with the board to allow the thing to even stay upright but then the different wheelie modes AND the fact that the rider's arms move with the steering and to fit it all in. I bet they spent 1000's of man hours engineering it all before they got it to work. I don't think ppl realize the tuning required to get the gyro programmed to keep it upright but also allow it to lean into corners. Those two actions are in direct violation of each other. It takes a LOT to impress me and this thing does...(if you couldn't tell).

[@TomleyRC]

haha...Yak away dude. I am more impressed with the engineering behind this than the actually driving of it lol.

[@muskokamike127]

@@TomleyRC I know right? I bet there are engineers right now taking it apart and looking at the source code to figure out how they did it.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha… true story!

[@ralphhondaman]

It is awesome technology forsure. Someone was saying the reciver is just a air reciver with fly safe program written to it. Not 100% but I wouldn't mind figuring out what one they relabled to use. So of this ones ever had to get you can get another one that has the same gyro.

[@mgscheue]

Definitely. I'm a physics guy and all it took was seeing one video of how the thing works and I had to have it. Maybe I can somehow use it in my classes and write it off my taxes? 😂

[@TheDudeRc]

I promise you, take off those Prolines and get whatever aftermarket wheel of choice is you like and get the Vitavon full size street tires. I did a Promoto and Supermoto build and even with speed gears the Supermoto only did 40. Swapped over to some Aliexpress Vitavon knock offs and some Vitavon tires and the bike handles SO much better, does 50MPH on 2S stock battery and will still do wheelies for days! No more chain rub or chain guard rubs! Can turn sharper and is just loads more fun!

[@TomleyRC]

I'll take a look... although this drives so nice as it is without the stabilisers.

[@ooze1016]

I was so interested in the bike I was lucky to order one from Canada 🇨🇦back in August. Love it so much mine is now 3s .and yes vitavon Street tyres are perfect.

[@TheDudeRc]

They do handle a treat with the arms off. I love the look! I just got tired of chasing it. Wore my wives Fitbit and it said I walked 1.8 miles picking it up. LOL I kept eating chains and such so tried out the larger wheels. MUCH better performance now. I can send a link of the the video on larger wheels if you like. I am a HUGE fan of your channel so dont want to step on any toes. I went with the HR gears which is one tooth larger pinion (sprocket) and 1 tooth smaller wheel sprocket and added the hardened chain.

[@jasonwestevans7292]

Super hot look great effort if

[@dexterbeattie7884]

Superb video Phil!

[@LIFEISHARDSTUPID]

Man out of all the rc channels, I dig your channel the most. It's not all one company and ya know. Just more about the rc's and that's what it's all about, also getting more and more people familiar with the hobby. Great build man and video. From Michigan 👍👍

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude, really appreciate it. I’m really passionate about the hobby, so like to try and show as much of the hobby as I can 👌

[@ralphhondaman]

I agree. This channel has grown on me over the last year. I use to enjoy KT vids but you go to that channel if you want to see someone spend money and break things without giving any knowledge to the hobby. This channel is awesome because you can tell he actually enjoys it and spreads some knowledge. I always look forward to his uploads.

[@TomleyRC]

🙏

[@offsetrc]

I agree I whatch tomley the most he's inspired me to bye some of these rc I see on here and some other channels but more this one 👍

[@ralphhondaman]

@offsetrc same here. I bought a udirc rally car because he did a review on it. I like how he does all rcs not just the name brands.

[@DeanOhRc]

The absolute best video Iv seen for this pro moto , now i actually want one 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks dude... appreciate it

[@MauzyrockRC]

Dude what a terrific custom job. Looks awesome! The hoodies are mint!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude

[@imaniac330]

Thanks for all the hard work you do it doesn't go unappreciated! Great video!

[@TomleyRC]

Thank you. Appreciate it

[@elliotthoward1]

If you don’t mind, I built a stock Tamiya clod buster when I was a young lad, and it is long gone. Maybe a future video build one with little to mild hop ups! It would bring back memories. Don’t forget the old commercials

[@RC-Closer1313]

Wow! The best pro moto video content since it came out! The black is 🆒 as it gets too. Nice job my friend. I’m serious when I say the best content on the bike as well… and I’ve seen them all!! Great work Phil!!

[@shaunodriscoll]

Great video Phil, I’m sure as many others will agree that you produce some brilliant content! It’s always imaginative and I think more realistic and relevant to those of us who love this hobby. The Rc advent calendar for instance was inspired ! Hope 24 goes great for you and thank you .

[@ralphhondaman]

You can make super tight turns. It's something you learn or maybe it's because I ride real ones. Turning on the throttle is your friend with these. Stay on and off the throttle and I can make tight turns in my yard effortless. But everyone learns them differently. These are so easy to operate. Some reviews on KZbin give the wrong impression. One thing I've learned. Don't listen to others reviews. Because usually it's operator error. And if people actually read the box or manual you'll see to make tight turns adjust the MX6.

[@AsurasWrath164]

Youre right with braking. As soon as you slow down the gravity pushes the bike straight up again and therefore needs a wider diameter for turning. As you said too: turning with bikes needs staying on the throttle and steering in the opposite direction.

[@ralphhondaman]

@AsurasWrath164 when I get a chance I'm going to get some videos In my backyard with it. I can make some tight turns with it no problem around my track. It can be tricky but it's something I've learned with it. I have 2 of them that are built a little different. But adjusted the mx6 know helps big time. I adjust it differently for dirt and on road.

[@shaunescarlett.1]

Awesome, Brilliant, Fantastic !! You have gone above & beyond with this one Phil, giving him that Team Tomley Hoodie & the Carbon look Super Moto style Bike is a credit to you my friend, Keep up your Great work Mr H 👌🏼👍🏼 🤜🏼🤛🏼

[@elliotthoward1]

More and more everyday loving this channel! Thank you!

[@BreatheRC]

That looks even cooler than my wind up Evel Knievel canyon jump thingy 😀awesome video many thanks

[@TomleyRC]

What a legend of a toy that is!

[@julianorozco761]

Muy buenos dias Mr Tonley como estas , un poco de cardio te ayuda para mantenerte en forma , me gusta con las llantas de supermotar fantastico ,muchas gracias y fwliz dia Mr❤❤

[@aljensen7779]

Damn, Phil, those were the 3 best choices of music!!!! Later, I'm going to connect the stereo & play it again. GREAT CHOICES! Oh, the bike was cool too.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha, cheers Al. Took me a while to select them.

[@hcrft]

ok TOMLEY RC is already my go to for all things surface RC. ive seen a ton of reviews on this bike, and i can already tell you at 1:45 in , this is the best funnest review video out there.

[@TomleyRC]

Haha.. cheers dude. Appreciate it

[@scalebuildersguild]

Lovely little transformation there sir. Inspired me to get out and buy a bunch of parts for mine as well!

[@TomleyRC]

Noice… I expect you are similar to me… OEM+ 👌

[@extec101]

Hoodie for the rider can also be used as cool premature kids clothes 😊

[@TomleyRC]

haha

[@reldwob22]

Dark... (but funny)

[@RCCAPERS]

That carbon looks awesome with the graphics mixed in! Very nice!

[@cyph3r76]

I love this. Not mad into motorcycles but this is so cool. An indoor race with these would be great.

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, it’s so cool. I’m not a bike person either

[@MRR-qv3bw]

I had a Tyco Harley Davidson FatBoy motorcycle when I was a kid and its was the coolest rc I had up until I was 11 because it really drove without side wheels! I'm 37 now and my friends and I would of lost our friggin minds if we would of had something like this back then! Thanks for sharing!

[@MCsCreations]

Brilliant work, Phil! It turned out amazing! Really well done!!! 😃 I've also seen aluminum parts available for it! And they look fantastic! Anyway, stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. Yes, lots of upgrades… I want to keep it relatively clean and not over the top

[@CPRC23]

That bike turned out SWEET!!! Nice build,great job!

[@George.T.83]

How cool is that???epic!!!well done Phil ✔ !!!

[@markieh04]

You're the first person I've seen driving this bike without the stabilizers. Brave new world 😊

[@mnakash77]

what an epix first 2 minutes of driving. Looks great with the carbon fiber and street clothes change! Not sure how I feel after I tried it for a minute. I was really scared of making damage but you made it look fun, easy and effortless.

[@rrrccc1571]

I didn't think you would make that look much better but that is sooooo good!

[@TomleyRC]

Cheers dude. I like to take my time on deciding what look to go for.

[@micheleg9492]

After many months I got it this is the best Motorbike on the market I have the green one you can perform really cool jumps my first time jumping a Moto and she did it really well so stable in the air amazing product for me

[@danieladamski6628]

as the swing arm compress the chain gets more tension co check IT under max compression

[@ReactionRC]

Have you gotten yours to flip? I know the electronic's won't allow it but I'm pretty sure I figured it out!👍 Yeah 413 RC is awesome! He made my hoodie as well. My video is almost ready, don't miss the flips. You did a great job on this one!!!

[@MrFastXX]

That is The Coolest thing I've ever seen. Specially with the mods, that hoodie is badass!

[@KathysFlog]

Looks incredibly realistic. I love it.

[@muskokamike127]

I'm hoping they are working on a superbike road version. I'll be all over that like white on rice. Other than body panels and rider, I think the only major change would be the length of the front shocks. I think the protection arms out the sides could be integrated into the fairing/body panels. I think that'd be epic and create a whole division for on road racing.

[@Truckziller]

I would also love to see a superbike version. But if they want to do it right, they have to change a lot. The geometry for a street bike is totally different. Theyre less tall but with a longer wheelbase, the swingarm is mounted higher in the chassis. The angle of the front shocks is also different.

[@muskokamike127]

@@Truckziller I guess you've never heard of adventure bikes? Not to mention these aren't actually superbikes OR motocross. The length can be done with a long chain and swing arm. The front shocks can be shortened. It wouldn't be that diff, you can tell by the way this version handles on the road with just a change in tires. I mean did you SEE the way it was leaning into the corners on asphalt?

[@Truckziller]

@@muskokamike127 Ah maybe thats why Marc Marquez left Honda, because they wouldn´t give him an Africa Twin for MotoGP. Of course theyre not real bikes, but part of the fun is the authentic look and behavior. The mods you listed are already available or can be made easy. If Losi will step in, they will do it right.

[@n22pdf]

Love these brilliant.. Losi did such a great job with this bike.. awesome upgrades looks great :) Pete

[@Geo_art_RC]

Looks so much better as a supermoto!

[@TomleyRC]

I agree

[@Del350K4]

That montage at the beginning in stock spec is superb, Phil! You made your bike look very cool - but I have a question. Did you notice the talker gearing you got from the smaller rear sprocket? I ask because you simultaneously fitted a smaller rear wheel, so I'm wondering to what extent that cancelled out the effect of the sprocket.

[@andrew4403]

Wow I had no idea that a motorcycle would rip the track like that. Nice run man very impressed with the performance. 👍

[@ErikAltman-c3j]

Thank you, I saw those tires and was still on the fence. Now I know I need one for the garage.

[@DJONAROLL]

looks so good Phil! great video! keep up the good work!

[@bigshow5173]

Cool, very cool on bike camera action shots.

[@allscalerc]

Wow you have some vinyl wrapping skills!! Came out awesome I love it. I actually have that exact same vinyl laying around from when I was messing around with my life size cars. ❤❤❤❤

[@seansullivan3795]

Great shots Phil! The carbon wrap looks great!

[@extec101]

The tention of the chain should not be tight as it sometimes tention more as the swing arm is moving more to the full bump in.

[@101projects2]

69 😅, you need to install some Titanium skid blocks to his feet for some cool sparky sparky sunset shots.

[@adrianpilbeam7403]

That looks awesome buddy. Love the branded clothing and the carbon effect on the panels. Wouldn't get one personally but they do look cool.

[@keenanmoi]

Chain slack should be checked when the axle is parallel with the front sprocket, so you'll want to compress the swingarm partway through the stroke and set the tension there.

[@Drew.Pugh.Barney.Mcgrew]

That looks wicked, great eye for detail and design Mr Tomley

[@MarkJackson-e1k]

Hi Phil, it reminded me of the Evel knievel friction stunt bike I got for Christmas one year, but a modern version of it. Love the attention to detail you always use in your video's. It looks like you need a good skill level to drive it. Great music aswell 😊

[@TomleyRC]

Yes, I remember that, they were so much fun to watch. I never had one as a kid though

[@MarkJackson-e1k]

@TomleyRC I was very lucky boy that year for sure. 😊

[@dieseldabz7104]

Due to a terrible accident and spinal cord injury I can 𝙉𝙊𝙏 actually ride or race dirt bikes anymore so this for me would be the closest thing I could get to reliving the fun times I once had. Since my accident decades ago my life has changed 100% and unfortunately can't afford the $500 so can only watch your videos.

[@Nickwillfixit]

Its a shame there is no good engine detailing like the VENOM VMX450 I have it is also on Super moto tyres. It could do with a working rear brake for proper Supermoto action. I cant get the Motocross tyres for my Venom so will be trying the LOSI gear on it. You need to try the other Pro-Line tyres for the terrian it was struggling on, still not sure whether to get the LOSI as my VMX is not that used. Question where did you get the hear gun I need one that size for my tool box.

[@patricklavoie8719]

Wow! Best looking build I’ve seen! 😍

[@davidlewis620]

That looks so beautifully blinged-out and epic Tomley, you did a good job!!

[@R6Dave11]

Nice job. I put the black jersey and SM wheel / tire package on mine as well. Looks awesome.

[@pugs1377]

Looks great! Makes me want to try to find my old kyosho bike. It's some place in my barn...

[@009ADVENTURES]

that looks awesome, gives me an idea for my 1:1scale supermoto 👍

[@wheelsdownrc6348]

It’s always great to see when a channel does a build specific to themselves and not just throw a bunch of upgrades on💯….

[@___ll___1321]

crazy mod, it looks way better, im amazed how you take all that shots and i cant see the cameras hahah

[@philbagshaw7572]

I think this is great. Would be possible to put some titanium bits on his shoes/stabilisers to get some sparks flying. Like knee sliders.

[@NathanStorer-RC]

Wow, that looks freaking sweet now!

[@michaeldorich4485]

I like your changes. It looked great in the parking lot. If it's not the best release of 2023, I don't know what might be better. I wonder if they will be running them at Rossa this year?

[@unloveableandre]

15:20 Nice!

[@midwestboss8808]

That carbon fiber design looks great 👍

[@unloveableandre]

Wow! What a video. Your skills are unmatched.

[@unloveableandre]

Never mind, I watched the full video now... :-P

[@Johnwick-ed7vo]

Dang son! When you customize, you really customize. 😂 Good on you man. Looks great

[@mtbalot]

The nose-wheelie was epic 💪

[@MACISUS]

Don’t care for the street tiers. I like off road and think it’s best left that way. But that’s me! To each their own. Great content as always!

[@beardedxj]

Would be cool to see someone try to add an opposing gyro to the one already in there. Should make much more stable. Wiuld be fun experiment even if it doesnt work.

[@FantasyGhost]

With those supermoto tires, Losi should consider making a MotoGP bike too, would look slick on an speed track taking those corners with the knee on the ground

[@GeorgiaBoyRC]

Oohhh, shoots! Microphone check-a, one, two, three. That bike is dope. And no lean bars!

[@TomleyRC]

😎🤘

[@uroprop]

Wild onboard shots dude 👍

[@ooze1016]

Will get some of the vitavon spooked wheels.

[@andygrant5275]

You certainly made a great job of that bike. Phil.

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks Andy

[@darren5492]

Absolutely fantastic footage Phil. That has to be the next thing on my wishlist lol but I'd be really dubious to use it as i ain't ever operated a motorcycle before lmfao. But I suppose I have to learn one day if I want one

[@garethjones2125]

Some great shots Tomley. 👍

[@jamesdavenport4583]

It would be cool if the knees stuck out and had titanium skid plates on them so when you laid it down in the corners sparks would fly off the kneecap that would be amazing. 😮

[@FastSS02]

I was thinking something similar but different boots or seeing if you can angle the boots out more with the toe since he said they just touch when leaning real hard. Looks like in one of the onboard shots he had ground the plastic down on the foot already. Definitely need a replaceable skid plate on them!

[@dazofthemoo1531]

Sweet vid. Great vibes as always. And the bike looks great. Not a huge fan of colour bombs, even on bikes or drift, so this was right on the money for me. Looks great.

[@TomleyRC]

I agree… subtle upgrades and colour changes 👌

[@chico480]

There is something I don't understand. I had the skyrc sr5 dirt bike and on 2s in a field I did not have to go pick it up as much, a punch of throttle and it will stand up alone and go. Just careful as the direction might not be as you went but it will go. Why did you have to go so often to pick it up? Fantastic content as usual, I can't wait to see what you do with the trex

[@muskokamike127]

10:29 is it just me or did the front sprocket look like it had quite a bit of wear already? or was that just because the paint had worn off? You might want to lube up the chain and sprockets.

[@TomleyRC]

Just dirty, and after cleaning I dried it all so probably 'dry dirt' making it look worn. Chain was lubed after fitting ;)

[@bmoresbeast]

It’s is Amazing!! Steep in price but worth every penny I assume..

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, took some getting used to

[@chrislang7460]

Ah a Tomley retrieval video.. Nice. And a project. Love a good project

[@TomleyRC]

😎🤘

[@Lod3runn3r]

Great video and beautiful result 👌💯. Have a good one and keep it up 🤜🤛

[@RCDEPENDANT]

I got a similar one of those about 22-23 years ago when I was about 11 or 12 years old, obviously not a losi or anywhere near as good, but its was awesome had the gyro in it too, it's was orange, quite big too. I can't remember what brand it was, I think it was only about $200 nzd had to give it a little push to get it going , and it popped wheelies! It was wheelie good fun. When these losi pro moto came out it gave me a strong sense of nostalgia so i might have to bite the bullet and go pay the $1300 NZD to get one 🤣

[@soothan86]

Man you made it look better than the original awesome vid bro

[@37077]

Now that version looks sweet.

[@Jens372]

Thank you tomley rc for getting me into the hobby

[@TomleyRC]

No problem Sir 🫡

[@Pablo668]

Man, I hate to use a cliche, but they hit it out of the park with those bikes. Not my thing but brilliant.

[@homemraproductions]

It looks way better, awesome job 🎉

[@BangForYourBuckRc]

Epic dude! I love the new super moto looks!

[@Jens372]

Will do reviews an testing

[@uroprop]

They did really good on this..compared to what's been on the market forever

[@henrywood5462]

Supermoto s are badass

[@paulmcnamara2908]

Love all the mods bike looks awesome loving the rider the onbourd shots look so cool but having said that I'd put the soriginal wheels back on those black ones look too small to me! Top video though look forward to seeing more of this RC! 🙂👍

[@TomleyRC]

Yeah, they are a little smaller… but I think that’s correct for a Supermoto

[@rhoadsy]

You should attach little bits of metal on the feet that makes sparks when you corner.

[@chasentrophies]

i wonder if tomley watched my review in your anticipation for the uk to get them! I LOVE MY PROMOTO

[@ipperurc5216]

That was cool! One of your best vids!👍

[@Prodicalson-q9n]

Great vid. Nice product. Off topic, great soundtrack to the vid. Keep it up.

[@unit2135532]

Makes me wonder if Losi or an aftermarket company will be doing conversions of the promoto, maybe a street fighter style bike next? Maybe a cafe racer? Or how about a dual sport bike? If they can keep the dimensions similar, they could probably pull it off without too much headache.

[@butchmeister80]

Looked epic after the mods, looked also complicated to strip and take apart 😂

[@jeffmackovitch9987]

Always great footage! Nice on road bike!

[@TomleyRC]

Thanks mate
