The pure joy you exhibit from the release of the Promoto should remind everyone why we're in this hobby.
absolutely categorically correct. I got to touch it at Axialfest Badlands, that cloth jersey sold me. Its soo big.
I guess no sidecar option means that someone will need to fabricate one! 🤓
2:14 I can't wait for race series to start with the Losi dirt bike
Vanquish needs to make some wheels for the losi pro moto that would be sweet,👍
The promoto-mx looks sweet! Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
What was your first rc car or custom build that let you know you wanted to make rc cars not just your hobby but also your career?
I appreciate the very calming outro!
Usually Josh ends the video but this time he left it recording as he cracks some fresh glowsticks and jams out in his hobby room/studio in the black lights. Maybe next time he'll leave the video too.
Are you preparing a replacement for the upper range of Vanquish soon?
I kinda wonder if something will drop just in time for Christmas.
Who else is wanting a Promoto street bike????
I got to see one, it looks amazing indeed.
I will be shocked if they make a hayabusa
I ordered my Promoto as well; really excited about it. Looks promising!
I had the privilege of being able to run the new bike. A buddy of mine owns a local hobby shop and got one in. First impression. It's a lot bigger in person! It is a blast to run and do wheelies. It reacts smoothly which really surprised me how well it handles and reacts. It jumps great as well. However, I found myself, I don't know how to explain it, getting bored I guess you could say, rather quickly. Don't get me wrong, it's a great looking bike, handles great and is fun. Just didn't keep me engaged like my other rcs do if that makes sense.
I have to ask, do you ride motorcycles?
You hafta ust the button on the radio to put it in wheelie mode🏁🏍
@@meirdeaph Or twist of the wrist too lol
@@meirdeaph Yes, we know how to put it in wheelie mode
@@TrokaRC I used to ride all the time up until a few years ago. I wasn't a dirt bike guy, though. Maybe that has something to do with it? I had a 2010 Harley street glide and a 2006 ninja 650R. Got divorced in 2019 and sold them both. Haven't rode since.
Did you forget to stop the video at 11:34.? Couple extra minutes of music. 😆
The Promoto opens up a whole new area of RC mods! Evel Knievel, Wonder Woman, or Ghost Rider clothing! Which one of these, or any other character, would be cool?
Evel Knievel for sure. My promoto order is already placed
What we really need is an rc snowmobile!! All the other ones just aren’t good…
Would be cool 😎
I pre-ordered the Losi Promoto right away too. I was so excited! I have a few different RC motorcycles. Exceed Rc was the first company to do the brushless flywheel. It had so many problems though. The suspension was horrible. The flywheel motor needed better bearings out of the box. The flywheel was not balanced very well. Once the kinks were taken out it actually was a really fun dirtbike. It was smaller than the Losi. I also have the Thunder Tiger Ducati I highly modified with a Nova Rossi .21 engine and a custom heavier flywheel. I have the Kyosho Honda CBR R. The Losi looks leaps and bounds over all the ones I have.
I'm already imaging a promoto mayhem video long jump competition 😂
How we look forward to the new episode of scale news OK thank you thank you thank you for continuing to put out great content.
If they could only have made it 1/6 scale. They could’ve had a bed toy for the scx6. Cool though! Q: If you were a hotdog would you eat yourself?
The Losi Promoto MX is one of the RCs Im really excited for all the releases to date. I will start saving for one 😊
Promoto seems like a great platform. What's next for it...Road bike? Drag bike?
Road bike would be sweet!
I'd love to see the tech transferred to a road bike for sure!
Enjoy all your videos.
I've been trying to hold off on big rc purchases.. but that promoto got me.. i couldnt preorder fast enough!
Love me some Holmes hobbies
The Regal didn't come out until the mid 70's. That car is a Riviera.
66-67 Buick Rivera in regal black.
I like how the thing has two brushless systems and is still, somehow, cheaper than an LMT. Spot gouging us on the LMT so I will let myself buy one, fellers.
Enjoyed it so much watched it twice matt👍😂
Thanks for all your time and effort 🚚🚜
Omg I played it 3 times haha❤❤❤
Yup. Matt killed it on this one! Keep up the amazing work, Matt! ;)
Yeah… Matt….. great job. 🤷🏼♂️
Saw it in person at Axialfest, it looks amazing gonna pre order today!
I met you at axialfest! I'm apart of the Trail Turtles group in Chicago.
Have a base scx10ii kit what are some first upgrades?
The shocks got changed out to capra shocks
Can’t wait to see a bunch of promotos racing at my local track
My question is simple how long before trucks of freedom are available again?
😂😂😂 Josh is going to dislike this comment.
@@Axial32 had it in my cart, went to pay and it sold out! 😭
@Brianfreese oh no. That's shitty. I bought 1 of the number 2. Then a week later I ordered another
More will go up either today or tomorrow. I put up some yesterday too.
@@HarleyDesignsInc I got one yesterday, while I was driving through Sacramento traffic! 😂
Will a hand-bros servo mount and rummy-axles be a direct install on my pimp-cane chassis, or will I need to do any fabrication?
My question. Why is there 2 and a half minutes theme music over a black screen?
I watched it twice to see if I missed an Easter egg. I feel trolled.
I lied. I watched it 3 times.
I stared at the screen the whole time. All I saw was Riviera Black.
Mine is on order!!!!!!!!!
Should put servos on the legs so they can drop down in the turns and lose the lame pegs.
🤦♂️
You did post nonsense before. You absolutely have no clue what is mechanically feasible and what not.
I don’t know why but I want one of those dirt bikes!😂
What got you into scale rc, and how did you end up at vanquish?
I'll answer part 1 of this question. Hahaha. My vision went (long story... I can still see decently enough to do this) so not being able to drive legally... the next best thing was to get into building and driving scale... then I got into youtube haha.
Rock crawling was always my focus, the scale nature was just a logical step! I ended up at VP after years of working with them and talking regularly. They knew my background and profession, it was just a good fit.
So wait, I have to do laundry for my RC's now?
They need to make a sound system for it to make it a total experience.
When are Nichol and you going to adopt your next Cheetoh?
What is your next shop/build related upgrade for everyone? I'm in the process of getting a fully computer controlled lathe that can handle stock up to 3' in diameter and 8' in length. Hoping to not outgrow this one.
When I saw the new short- short course trucks, I wondered if Associated was introducing an idea for a new class of truck racing. Could these be an alternative to 2wd buggy in some places? They look like an variation on the RB10. It would be cool to see how a mid motor version would do around a track if some pin tires are available for it
I wish the Kyosho Fazer 1965 Buick Regal would have been released with magnetic body mounts.
FYI that body IS a Riviera, regardless of their incorrect labeling. Strange that they'd let that get by their QC...
I'm not going to pick up a Promoto, but I think it's an absolutely awesome kit. And at $600, it's a fantastic deal all things considered.
What color should I paint my second VS4-10 Pro? It came with Matte Blue wheels & Gold Skarns to match to.
I had a Kraken Vekta 5. It was the worst RC I've ever owned. They had you putting retaining compound on bearings in the transmission because the holes for the bearings were too big!
Pro moto is awesome!!! I was able to hold it at badlands. It’s bigger and heavier then I expected. I pre-ordered one and picked up a new gens ace pack.
They had killer deals on battery's. I was there too, the cloth on the losi was a nice effect, I will get one.
@@IdiotSavantRC The clothes were so cool, I pre-ordered mine first thing that day. I'm loving all the bling parts right away.
Yeah they really did a killer job on this release it seems. Lots of pretty parts for it.
When is the VS4-24 coming out?
Thanks Harley.. couldn't find an expected date of release. Got W.R.250
That looks like a 1965 Buick Riviera that did come in Regal black.
You were correct the first time, it is a Riviera.
You know how you sit through the credits of a movie waiting and hoping for and end scene/spoiler. I did this on this video for 3 1/2 minutes. 😂
Recently purchased a scx6 honcho. Want to possibly print a body. What is the ratio to scale up a 1/10 body?
The promoto is just too cool. I think it's this generations t-maxx. Did you order any of the upgrades when you ordered the bike??
Maxed the budget for the bike! Could see the aluminum swing arm next year. Lol
Saw it! It’s sofa king Rad!!!
We’re you able to get a ProMoto? What color? I pick up the red and blue tomorrow.
@harleydesigns with today's bearings do you still recommend useing bushings on the pinion of ar60s and if you do what bushing do you use???
Great news week.
Lots of goodies haha. I love that bike, very cool.
As for my question.
What hotwheel would be the choice for you to create into a crawler.
Legacy line to average car or truck.
Go crazy and do the twin mill or do a honda civic hatch back.
Such a wide spectrum of ideas.
He needs a 911 hot wheels to go with the RC cola.
I was pretty excited about the Promoto but then seeing your excitement made me more excited lol. Street bike next, then hopefully a legit snowmobile with this dual brushless tech for us folks who have snow for half the year😂
If you could only go to one Rc event this year what one would it be?
I fully agree on the snowmobile as well! Only one event, Proline By The Fire.
will you ever make it out to beat the creek in Kentucky and for me it's how long the trailing arms are compared to the body that makes it look off
Thank you for all the great content as always. What is your favorite truck to wheel when you are just out to have some fun.
VS4-10 Pro
How do you deal with burnout, when you just don't feel like wrenching or running your rigs???
I go buy a used rc 😂
What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?
African or European?
The Promoto is a cool platform, not that you seem excited about it, lol! 😂 I'll wait and see, lots to like but these things generally lack the realism of the real deal, and don't turn very well. Here's hoping, though 🤞
How do you keep your parts organized for different models?
Good question
What is the part number for the interior for the Vanquish rtr phoenix? The Moto bike looks awesome.
Thanks again. That bike looks awesome, I would love to give one a try, but not in my budget right now.
QUESTION: All of my CAD experience is in Autodesk Inventor Pro, but my work dropped the license. Should I learn Fusion 360 or Onshape? I am an educator, so the license is free for either one.
When will Vanquish release a Zero offset beadlock wheel for our class 1's?
My question is what happened with the TOF aluminum laser ecthed plates. I saw some people posted that their plates were not aluminum or laser etched but printed plastic. I know feels like plastic.
Can you find out if they will be releasing a kit form of the promoto?
I live my life...
One tenth scale quarter mile at a time...
Family...😎
Wich rc crawler did you purchase and was pleasantly surprised buy the quality and capability....?
Ordered sat. Anybody know when back orders will ship?
What brought you into the hobby? Like what was the Segway in your life? (looks like 2 questions but it's only one 😂) for me it was static scale models, I was buulding a Lindberg 1/8 scale model T when I discovered RC4WD scale parts which introduced the scale RC world to me and it was curtains after that. I'm in it for life!
How long before you turn that Losi into a trike?
I NEED A SECOND ONE FOR THIS REASON!
If you could find a classic / vintage RC still new in the box to build what would it be? And would you build it stock or modify to the max?
I’d say it would be an Axial XR10, but I’d leave it in the box!
Chopped tow or weave for working at extreme depth?
which of the RCs that you sold would you want back.
When are you coming to Portland?
We are just up the road!
Some of our best friends live in Olympia, so we drive up every once in awhile!
What tig torch are you using at the moment
CK Flex Torch
Who is still running MOA or Sportsman (robot) crawer comps?
a small but dedicated group :)
So... Everyone will be running 3s ?
Question how many color anodize axles did VP make
Q: If there where a range between scale and performance, full scale being a doll house truck and performance being a robot truck, where would you be in that range? I’d be around 50/50 maybe 60/40 a bit more scale.
For me, I think it would be somewhere around 75/25 scale to performance. I have several line slayers but I just keep building scalers. Haven't built a decent performer in a few years now 😂
is there a website that does custom stick on stencils for painting lexan bodies in the rc world?
Where can I find a Mighty FC body for a SCX24?
Can I just swap a VFD trans into my phoenix instead of the vVFD vtwin trans? Wanted to save weight and do not need the extra shifting
Will vanguish make a panhard mount for there capra axle.
Can a phoenix portal comp as good as my sport? I can’t find anything that can comp as good as my modded sport and I’ve been up against some really good drivers and trucks of all brands with LCG chassis.
Thanks.
Vectas are like the good looking guy who wears white tube socks with black dress shoes
Properly weird looking
agreed...what is so difficult to make a large rc car good looking ??
Are you ever going to get a primal raminator ?
Do you think losi will produce a street bike soon after there promoto release??
my question to you is ..........have you already contacted losi and asked for a three wheeler option on the pro moto
LOL - " I need more bikes for the tires"
As per request. A question. Red or green salsa on your Mexican food? 🌮😅
Red most often.
Would everyone like to see a updated scx24 or see an scx18?(but like a real 18 not like the utb18...which i also like regardless)
The platform isn't very old, most companies need the tooling investment to be good for longer before updating.
@@HarleyDesignsInc True I also bet the industry is still trying to predict where the market will go post pandemic. Whether small scale rc is gonna maintain popularity or if those people are going to leave the hobby due to low cost of entry and smaller investment.
Great update
Who was at Axialfest Badlands this year?
I have the Losi dirtbike on order
He Gone!!
LoL forgot this morning
Did anyone else watch to the very end thinking there would be a secret track?
What color would you paint the origin half cab to go with matte red kmc tanks?
Dark Gunmetal
Midnight purple
The Tundra Tan color
@@HarleyDesignsInc I’m looking for a polycarbonate paint in that color. If I can’t find one I will do a coat of PS-55 flat clear and use a lacquer paint.
You hit the hammer right on the head with the Kraken 1/5. The tires are way too small. It looks like someone put brodozer rims and tires on an Baja Buggy.
You want a question, so here goes. What part of the RC hobby do you think could benefit from from starting to go in a more scale direction?
