Its crazy when you think about how far ahead this bike is compared to other rc bikes. Seriously impressive tech and build quality. No doubt one of the best rc released lately.

[@EJ-74]

I have the old Ricky Carmichael dirt bike, It doesn't come anywhere close to this bike other than looks, I'd love to upgrade it with these electronics...

​@@DEMONpoppy Agreed. It just looks awkward 😕

This put such a big smile on my face. Especially the slow mo shots near the end.

[@jedpetersen3806]

20ish years ago when the Savage first came out I built one entirely out of billet aluminum, Kevin's right! That thing weighed 31lbs and cost over $3000 to build 😂🤦 I only drove it once and then shelved it because I didn't want it to get scratched 😣 NEVER AGAIN!! Sweet video Kevin I sent this one to all my mates 👍

[@EricLaermans]

Come on, drive it. Don’t shelf-queen it. Life is too short for that.

[@lowslowcrawlers1304]

I've bought a few 2k aluminum savages on craigslist/offer up over the years, each one was like $350 lol

[@MotoDonuts]

i did the same with a Losi Muggy, whole damn thing was aluminum and it bent something every time it crashed or it would cook a clutch because it was so heavy.

[@paradiselost9946]

i spent AU600 on a thundertiger or whatever it was. another 200 or so on a decent Os engine... then once i figured them out... was hooked. bits of fibreglass for main chassis, molds for casting rubber wheels, twin front discs, tuned pipes... probably spent $10K over the years but enjoyed every minute of it! whereas these kit things with gyroscopes and bling just have no appeal to me. i prefer to rely on geometry, proper frame design, and skill... bikes are in a league of their own, the only RC vehicle that actually scales down without looking... stupid? cars never corner to "scale". planes and helis need compromises regards aero... but bikes always have to have the correct geometry or they simply dont work.

[@terrycrawford9309]

Your bad

[@pinmast0r]

I think when you do things like this you risk accidentally removing deliberately engineered weak points that are meant to protect more expensive bits (like the metal chassis). It looks sick but a massive impact now risks bending/ripping out fixings in the chassis.

[@thehatchetwarrior808]

I accidentally did that to my chinese amazon 4x4 buggy lol cracked the tub right where the lower control arms mount into the frame on the first crash after installing the parts.

[@apocolypse11]

Bingo

[@dieseldabz7104]

I absolutely fell in love with these the first time I saw your video Kevin. As a ex semi-pro racer whos career was cut short after a spinal cord injury at age 20 many years ago who can't ride anymore this would allow me to at least relive some memories through this RC dirt bike and rip around mimicking years past. Unfortunately life's a wreck and without airing out my life story just can't afford one anytime soon but hopeful one day can and upgrade it just as I did my real bikes. Thanks Kevin 👊

[@TF58582]

I completely agree! Thankfully my back injury was simply fractured vertebrae’s and I was an intermediate racer but I can relate to you in being able to enjoy these bikes without the pain of feeling the crashes. Hope you have healed up well and continue to.

[@DirectoutdoorsTV]

The amount of skill kev has with working on rc's is insane. I would have never figured out how to put that whole bike back together. It would have took me like a week to figure it out at least.

Kev I’ve told you what the modes are in your first ProMoto video. 3 up is Wheelie Mode. 2 up is On Road Mode, 1 up is off road mode. SO from the bottom is off road, on road then wheelie mode ok. 😂

[@KevinTalbotTV]

what is the difference between mode 1 and 2?

[@stephenpheonix6549]

@@KevinTalbotTV Mode 1 is Off Road Mode so it tries to keep traction in loose dirt like traction control and stops the front coming up and same in On Road Mode but it’s tuned for high traction surfaces. Mode 3… The Best Mode!!! Wheelie Mode YAY! Practice the different modes Kev and you will notice the difference in how it performs and wheelies. Cheers mate!

💚 Back when I was a kid I loved my Evil Knivel Stunt bike .. I’d have wet myself being handed that … 🤣

[@muskokamike127]

Piece of advice when it's cold and wet: get some thin stretchie knitted gloves from the dollar store and underneath, wear some latex/nitrile gloves. The latex will prevent your fingies from getting wet which strips the heat out and the added layer of the knitted gloves provides some warmth. I did this working construction and had a bag full of the stretchie gloves. When they got wet, I tossed them in the wet bag and grabbed a dry pair. They're thin enough that you can grab screws, work buttons etc without any difficulty. The latex gloves (or nitrile) also provide wind protection which also saps the heat out of your hands.

[@KevinTalbotTV]

what about latex on top?

[@muskokamike127]

@@KevinTalbotTV I had latex coated gloves and they seemed to get colder, faster. It was almost like my hands were colder with them than without. Then you have the tearing issue...the nitrile/latex tears easier than knitted. I think too the latex transmits heat/cold easily, so the wind cools it, and transmits it inside to your hands. With the knitted gloves on the outside, they prevent that from happening. Next time you pass by a dollar store, pick up a couple of pairs. They call them "magic gloves" here in Canada, not sure what they call them there but I'm sure they have them in the UK.
