Unfortunately the losi pro mx is not the first bike to offer front brakes, that would be the Thunder Tiger SB5. Micro servo with carbon fiber brakes. Altho I would say they are the first to use a cable on their front brakes. Love watching the channel keep it up!
The fact that Losi offer a graphics template is pretty cool. Can’t wait to see everyone make them look like their favourite brands. This is about the only thing that would tempt me to buy one.
I've been procrastinating leaving this comment for a few weeks. I ran into Nate and Abbie at their booth at HorizonFest 2023. They are some of the nicest people you will ever meet. I mentioned I was a subscriber and Abbie immediately grabbed an RC Saylors t-shirt and handed it to me. (Thank you so much again!) I feel like they are doing great things for our hobby/hobbies. I also mentioned to them the appreciation I had for everything they do, the time they spend, even the bad news, tough break videos, where planes get damaged because, well... that's part of the hobby too.
The old venom bike had a functional front disk brake & chain drive, losi wasn't the first. A lot of ppl have forgetten about that. The main difference is basically the location of the flywheel. The losi is still badass but it hasn't got as many firsts as is being made out.
Thank you for the info. I'm glad someone explained the steering servo direction. I've seen so many videos with wrong info and people reversing servo. I'm guessing they never drove a real motorcycle to understand how it works.
Just got mines and mannn I’m soo impressed with this thing I recommend it for anyone who knows how to take care of expensive toys I might get another one
Ive ridden street and dirt bikes for 54 years, and you actually counter steer a street bike above about 20 mph. It’s counter-intuitive, but that’s how the physics works out!
Many folks don’t know - full scale bikes turn left to go right and vice-versa at any speed the bike is capable of balancing. Move the wheel the opposite direction of the turn and it pushes the bike outwards of that direction making the turn automatic. Right turn: Handlebars left, bike leans right from inertia, then handlebars naturally go right afterwards completing the turn. Folks do this without even knowing they do it.
I learned about "Counter steering" for emergencies, when I started riding 50yrs ago, from some Cycle magazine article. When you want to go right immediately, you give the right handlebar a shove. This forces wheel to left, but bike immediately goes right because of gyroscopic effect on wheel. It was a funny thing to practice, but saved my life from a head-on collision. I did it automatically(actually closed my eyes for impact), but bike leaned, and avoided car. Buddy of mine saw the whole thing from behind, and thought I was dead also. He couldn't believe the bike leaned over, car went by, and bike came back upright, and was going straight down road again. All this @ 60mph! Someone was looking out for me!
It’s not the first bike to have a front disk breaking system. My thunder tiger nitro Ducati had a front disk break with a “metal “ disk. And that was over 10 years ago. But I am excited about this bike.
Something I haven't seen mentioned is the downside of the spektrum internals and battery. Gotta buy a special charger for them..... and the reviews on the charger that come with the green one is extremely slow and junk according to reviews on it. Please address this. Only reason I haven't ordered one. I have a traxxas live ID dual charger and don't want to have a special charger just for one vehicle.....
Great vid Nate, is good to see it off road and dam its jumps well...love it..Am really thinking about getting my son one(Good excuse to get one for me really as son is just 1year old and wife wont mind if i say its for him, Of corse we will really know who its for...hehehehe.
Thank you guys for being so informative on the product and of how the remote works.Some other channels have no idear what they are doing and not even watched a single video on it. but doing a review with no idear how to start it or operate it correctly giving people a false impression on the product. keep up the great work guys .
Ok so you have convinced me. So I used your link to order mine. Was going to wait till it was at my local store, not thrilled that the RTR green was the only one not on back order, but hopefully it helps with the content I enjoy.
I see at 2:48 you have bent the front wheel spokes. See other channels have done the same. That jumping and landing on the front wheel first !!!! Bet Losi sell a lot of wheels.......... Keep the fun videos comin'
Really GOOD stuff to know, but at 4:53 I got confused (that's normal for me)!! Yesterday I received the battery and charger, woot, woot!! I WILL be watching this video again!! Thanks Saylors for keeping me updated!! 💟👍😘
Nice vid mine arrived 2 days ago, but you are wrong on one point. RC bikes have had working disk brakes for decades literally. Have had 2 front and 1 rear on all of mine.
Spokes on a real dirt bike's bend the same way as the ones on this RC bike its from jumping it to high an hard landings! Just a heads up cause i see you have bent spokes!!!
Can you possibly gear up on the pinion gear? Does this bike use a regular pinion setup? I changed the pinion on my X-rider BX4003 bike. And put a 3S Lipo in it. I have not clocked its speed. But, it is very fast.
FYI, this is not the first RC bike with front brake disc. This Losi bike is quite impressive. I prefer my Venom VMX 450, the quality is higher than this LOSI. Did you know that in 1:4 scale there was a ton of offraod RC bike ? The AR RACING ARX 540 (a fantastic model), the NUOVA FAOR CSF411, the RADIOSHACK CR250R (Ricky Carmichael), The X RIDER BX 4003 and 4004, The SKY RC Super Rider SR5, and other models more rare.
I was ready to pre order until I saw the price for the spares and upgrades in the UK. New plastics and a rider outfit is £100, alloy hubs are ridiculously priced too and I'd want to buy them all so I'm holding off.
Same here, but we are a little luckier here in the states, so I pulled the trigger. Saw all the CNC aluminum parts, and was happy and sad at the same time! Like you , I want them all, but probably only can only afford the footpegs! My drone and crawler budget just went all in on the motorcycle. Might take 6 months to save for the swingarm! Lol
I need this RC ! I’ve actually modified a couple of the old Ricky Carmichael Rasio shack and installed all 3S electronics. The gyro system on that one is old school mechanical - inside the rear wheel .
I have the radio shack Ricky Carmichael one to. Steered into a fence and now it only steers one way. Do you know where I can get a new steering servo for it? Thanks
100% correct,and its not all new ground breaking,its just a what one might say refined version in some ways of the vmx 450... shame the review people don't read comments before making claims.
It's because of your video that I now own a Losi moto dirt bike. It was impressive in your video but it's even more impressive in person. What's the biggest 2s battery we can run on this bike?
Make the esc deliver 7.4 volt to the receiver and make the gyro pull power from that the esc and motor can take 3s but the servo is a unknown for me but when i get my promoto mx home that the plan for me 🤗
Good question… OK, I do not have this model in hand myself, but out of technical thinking/judging about the construction of the bike, I am quite sure, that the bike technically is capable to make front wheelies, respectively front “stopies”… 😉😂😊…don’t know, what the correct word for this stunt is… But I am also quite sure, that this would need programming a new mode from ground of, because I assume, that status quo you can not individually use/control the front brake separated from all over braking… and this is, what would be needed for this particular stunt move… Because I am personally not a real motor-bike person or “expert”, so I say this only out of my understanding for physic and dynamic… 😉🧐 I think, since all the mechanical and electronical (ergo the hardware… 😉🧐) features are already in the bike, it will be possible for the “makers” to offer such an update (ergo programming/software 😉🧐) in the future… Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! 🍀 Thorsten 🌞 RACER - Budget RC Fun Team Germany 🍻 😉😂😊…
Hey Nate, Great videos on this bike. But they're only supplying 5000mah 50C batteries for now, because they don't have enough 5000mah 100C. They are on backorder, and HH says they will be supplying the recommended 100C battery at a later date. I ordered the red one, so I could buy my own 100C battery. Keep up the great work!
In a perfect world a set of Evel or Robbie Knievel leathers and a red white and blue color scheme on the bike would be awesome to the max. 🤔 guess someone could make that mod!! Thinkin’ of hittin that buy button. Thanks for all content on this revolutionary rc cycle.
Well done… 👍 I know, you can not change the RC world, so it is of course not your fault… but I am more and more sick and tired of the topic speed, speed, speed, speed-run, speed-run, speed-run… This blasting up and down a straight line again and again for measuring the top-speed again and again…Sorry… 😉😂😊… OK, speed is important, but as long as it is feeling good while driving, it does not change the fun and performance level of a model, when it runs a few kph more or less… 😉😂😊… OK, the top-speed of the LOSI bike is 👍, But for its obvious MAXIMUM FUN and performance level the speed is definitely not the key-factor… at least in our opinion… 😉🧐 Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! 🍀 Thorsten 🌞 RACER - Budget RC Fun Team Germany 🍻 😉😂😊…
Genau!! Fully agree, much rather have longer duration / cheaper price and 20% slower I have the SR5 which has same top speed, it really limits where u can use it, and dont expect it to turn tighter than a cricket pitch on grass at full speed! I fitted an electronic add on gyro and wheeled mini olio style stabilisers to mine a few yrs back and was in process of fitting electronic front brakes (good enough for 'stoppis'- didnt get around to it They both need better front end bite as speed increases to reduce large washed out, speed limiting turns The Losi takes the SR5 to the appropriate next level, incl better wheels and rider + more stabilised in flight Can we see you tune the front brake and demo progressiveness on grit and if powerful enough to stand bike on its nose on tarmac? Price is a significant hurdle for most and the reason the SR5 was forced to halve theirs. I see this better Losi version at £395 UK (incl gyro taming 'stoppy' when braking hard and better front end bite, feel free to lose 20% top speed to cover any costs)
Hi, Fully agree with you there, A bit more variety and not all about "speed" and how "cheap" a model is, I've got nearly 20 cars and never have i bothered to check how fast they go.
Glad about the additional information. Definitely helps in deciding on weather it's worth the PRICE. NICE day for biking, are you going to try it without the side bars. Looking @ my outside thermometer IT IS 🔥🔥🔥112 degrees 🥵🥵🥵🥵😁😁😁. Have a GREAT rest of weekend. ⚓️⚓️⚓️👍🧡💛💚👍🔥🔥🥵🥵🔥🔥😁😁👍⚓️⚓️.
Got to wait till August in the UK 😢 For the money i think it's good value considering the technology involved and thinking back to my Mamod steam engine that cost four times as much comparatively.
I was ready to pre order until I saw the price for the spares and upgrades in the UK. New plastics and a rider outfit is £100, alloy hubs are ridiculously priced too and I'd want to buy them all so I'm holding off.
Great information on this awesome new rc mx. when jumping do you need to use throttle while it’s in the air to control how it lands? Or is it just jump and let the gyros go the work to keep it level.
On other rc motorbikes it will naturally nose down on a jump but you control bringing the back wheel down with a little throttle.for a level or rear wheel landing...👍
The question I have is about the spokes on the wheels. They look bent which I assume is from jumping it. Do the bent spokes cause the wheels to wobble and can they be fixed?
The venom vmx 450 or mm450 made 11yrs ago has a fully functional front disc brake so that's definitely not a first ...it looks like basics was adapted from the vmx 450 but certainly refined in the new losi .
@@jrmbtri got a venom vmx 450 the front disc brake works exactly the same as the losi one via servo and cable...when the vmx first came out your right it wasn't operational but later models had this option,also not sure if the atomic mm 450 had this option but I think it did from launch.
Are any of the commonly available battery connectors that are readily available compatible with the spectrum connector used in the bike? I'm not worried about the battery display on the transmitter.
I never clocked my stock kraton 4s. Does anyone know how fast it goes? It's plenty fast for me since I only have a strip of grass that is 150ft x 40ft in my back yard
Can the bike do any mid-air Corrections? Especially whips or anyting! I've seen every release of this on UA-cam from every UA-cam channel and everybody jumps the bike straight is the bike capable do of doing whips or stunts??!!. Please you guys if you could put that to the test would be awesome
I cannot get my bike to wheelie in wheelie mode. My street is a very coarse asphalt so there should be plenty of traction, right? It will wheelie in grass. Thank you for the great content over many different platforms.
@@TheRcSaylors just wanted to follow up as it ended up being the slipper clutch needed an 1/8 of a turn. No it wheelies like it should. Thanks again for the help!

I think your videos are the most beneficial for anyone looking to buy an rc dirt bike.

And, none over my modded SR5 ;)
Sales hype mate, wait for the real world reports/videos of required repairs etc around Christmas...👍
Thank you for the info. I'm glad someone explained the steering servo direction. I've seen so many videos with wrong info and people reversing servo. I'm guessing they never drove a real motorcycle to understand how it works.

Just bought mine 2 days ago off of your link.
Can't wait to see what you do next with it!

Ive ridden street and dirt bikes for 54 years, and you actually counter steer a street bike above about 20 mph. It’s counter-intuitive, but that’s how the physics works out!
Ive watched basically every video on this bike. Your the first person to mention that you can adjust the amount of lean in off road mode
Many folks don’t know - full scale bikes turn left to go right and vice-versa at any speed the bike is capable of balancing. Move the wheel the opposite direction of the turn and it pushes the bike outwards of that direction making the turn automatic.

I was ready to pre order until I saw the price for the spares and upgrades in the UK. New plastics and a rider outfit is £100, alloy hubs are ridiculously priced too and I'd want to buy them all so I'm holding off.
Sounds like many from the UK will be ordering from the states. Still worth it though. Losi has done an amazing job!👍

2S 5000mah 100c is the biggest that we have run in it. Really glad you like yours!! 👍😎💯⚓️
Couldn’t you BEC the gyro power or use a voltage limiter?
I would think so, yes! I’m hoping to do something like this, but after they are shipping 😉👍😬😅⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors yeah OEM’s never like us voiding the warranty and switching it up and making it better or blowing it up lol
Are the front spokes bent still?
Great Info Guys.

When is the next boat week?
Make the esc deliver 7.4 volt to the receiver and make the gyro pull power from that the esc and motor can take 3s but the servo is a unknown for me but when i get my promoto mx home that the plan for me 🤗
Question nobody asked, can you drive it without the rider and will it go any faster ^..^
It's called countersteering and it's the same way you steer a street bike at normal riding speeds
no demo of the brake fornt is it possible to make front whelli
Good question…
OK, I do not have this model in hand myself, but out of technical thinking/judging about the construction of the bike, I am quite sure, that the bike technically is capable to make front wheelies, respectively front “stopies”… 😉😂😊…don’t know, what the correct word for this stunt is…
But I am also quite sure, that this would need programming a new mode from ground of, because I assume, that status quo you can not individually use/control the front brake separated from all over braking… and this is, what would be needed for this particular stunt move…
Because I am personally not a real motor-bike person or “expert”, so I say this only out of my understanding for physic and dynamic… 😉🧐
I think, since all the mechanical and electronical (ergo the hardware… 😉🧐) features are already in the bike, it will be possible for the “makers” to offer such an update (ergo programming/software 😉🧐) in the future…

This blasting up and down a straight line again and again for measuring the top-speed again and again…Sorry… 😉😂😊…
OK, speed is important, but as long as it is feeling good while driving, it does not change the fun and performance level of a model, when it runs a few kph more or less… 😉😂😊…
OK, the top-speed of the LOSI bike is 👍,
But for its obvious MAXIMUM FUN and performance level the speed is definitely not the key-factor… at least in our opinion… 😉🧐
Keep on having a great RC FUN time…!!! 🍀

Genau!!
Fully agree, much rather have longer duration / cheaper price and 20% slower
I have the SR5 which has same top speed, it really limits where u can use it, and dont expect it to turn tighter than a cricket pitch on grass at full speed!
I fitted an electronic add on gyro and wheeled mini olio style stabilisers to mine a few yrs back and was in process of fitting electronic front brakes (good enough for 'stoppis'- didnt get around to it
They both need better front end bite as speed increases to reduce large washed out, speed limiting turns
The Losi takes the SR5 to the appropriate next level, incl better wheels and rider + more stabilised in flight
Can we see you tune the front brake and demo progressiveness on grit and if powerful enough to stand bike on its nose on tarmac?
Price is a significant hurdle for most and the reason the SR5 was forced to halve theirs. I see this better Losi version at £395 UK (incl gyro taming 'stoppy' when braking hard and better front end bite, feel free to lose 20% top speed to cover any costs)
Hi, Fully agree with you there, A bit more variety and not all about "speed" and how "cheap" a model is, I've got nearly 20 cars and never have i bothered to check how fast they go.
Glad about the additional information. Definitely helps in deciding on weather it's worth the PRICE. NICE day for biking, are you going to try it without the side bars. Looking @ my outside thermometer IT IS 🔥🔥🔥112 degrees 🥵🥵🥵🥵😁😁😁. Have a GREAT rest of weekend. ⚓️⚓️⚓️👍🧡💛💚👍🔥🔥🥵🥵🔥🔥😁😁👍⚓️⚓️.
Stop using the multi color hearts.....
@@michaelvoorhees5978 why
Thanks for watching Stan! Worked extra hard on this video. ❤️😎⚓️
Got to wait till August in the UK 😢 For the money i think it's good value considering the technology involved and thinking back to my Mamod steam engine that cost four times as much comparatively.
I was ready to pre order until I saw the price for the spares and upgrades in the UK. New plastics and a rider outfit is £100, alloy hubs are ridiculously priced too and I'd want to buy them all so I'm holding off.
Great video again, Have you noticed how the front spokes are bent on your bike. Take care :)
Hey guys. Does it work without the rider? Thanks.
Looks like he's just along for the ride.Would just look weird.
Great information on this awesome new rc mx. when jumping do you need to use throttle while it’s in the air to control how it lands? Or is it just jump and let the gyros go the work to keep it level.
On other rc motorbikes it will naturally nose down on a jump but you control bringing the back wheel down with a little throttle.for a level or rear wheel landing...👍
@@davidmartin1093 Oh I see.Just like the real thing.This rc bike is going to be a lot of fun. Thanks.
The question I have is about the spokes on the wheels. They look bent which I assume is from jumping it. Do the bent spokes cause the wheels to wobble and can they be fixed?
Hello. The battery you listed on the link should the cable be a short length or it does not matter on length?
The venom vmx 450 or mm450 made 11yrs ago has a fully functional front disc brake so that's definitely not a first ...it looks like basics was adapted from the vmx 450 but certainly refined in the new losi .
It had a chain but the disc up front was non operable.
@@jrmbtri got a venom vmx 450 the front disc brake works exactly the same as the losi one via servo and cable...when the vmx first came out your right it wasn't operational but later models had this option,also not sure if the atomic mm 450 had this option but I think it did from launch.
Are any of the commonly available battery connectors that are readily available compatible with the spectrum connector used in the bike?
I'm not worried about the battery display on the transmitter.
Have any of the spokes been bent with those high jumps ? Looks like hard landings. Can single spokes be replaced?
Not the entire world. The entire world of rich people. This thing is amazing but far too expensive for the general people.
Cool stuff ain’t cheap and cheap stuff ain’t cool.
Wow, didn't know I was rich. Thanks you have made me very happy.
Do you think we will be able to use our own remote? I wonder what channel receiver we will need.
4:19 ❤
Can you put a transponder on it for club racing?.. I am suggesting a new class but don't know about that.
My brother bought this rc for my nephew its a bit difficult off-road i keep tipping it over. And now i get the tuning adjustment now.
They haven’t shipped yet 😉😅⚓️
My first post of bent spokes on the front wheel was deleted and not by me why.
Losi doesn't like the truth obviously.
Great video, can’t wait to get mine ❤
Is it possible to run the bike without the front break? Broke the brake pads so I took them out.
I never clocked my stock kraton 4s. Does anyone know how fast it goes? It's plenty fast for me since I only have a strip of grass that is 150ft x 40ft in my back yard
Im curious if i can run my Spectrum DX Transmitter with this bike?
Thanks for answering the 3s question.
Nice video!
Can the bike do any mid-air Corrections? Especially whips or anyting! I've seen every release of this on UA-cam from every UA-cam channel and everybody jumps the bike straight is the bike capable do of doing whips or stunts??!!. Please you guys if you could put that to the test would be awesome
just got mine waiting on batteries
I need help my servo on my rc plane don’t work when I turn it on the servo won’t move but it making noise pls help
How the heck did you guys get a model before pre-order?
What does the 50/75/100 switch do?
Can you make an piper j3 cub hb owy red video
I cannot get my bike to wheelie in wheelie mode. My street is a very coarse asphalt so there should be plenty of traction, right? It will wheelie in grass. Thank you for the great content over many different platforms.
Start the wheelie going pretty slow, then try hopping it up on asphalt 👍💯😎⚓️
@@TheRcSaylors just wanted to follow up as it ended up being the slipper clutch needed an 1/8 of a turn. No it wheelies like it should. Thanks again for the help!
can it do nose wheelies or stoppies?
