It actually is quite different than all the bikes out there. Every single one has a flywheel on the actual rear wheel including the Sky Rc. Exceed Rc was the first to do a powered flywheel on the rear wheel. LOSI put the flywheel in the center of the frame which is brushless with a governor to keep a constant speed. They also put a gyro for the steering and throttle control. All the others are manual control. I have the sky rc, exceed rc, thunder tiger, Kyosho, and a custom German-built Ducattil dual-sort RC motorcycle. I was a fanatic of RC motorcycles. The LOSI is 10 times better. IMO it is revolutionary and the best RC product to come out in years. It rekindled the RC dirtbike for me. I bought 2 other LOSI. One is going to be my Super Moto hoping to mod it to hit 100+ mph. It's going to be easy peasy as it tracks really straight on the Airport Runway. I hope they come out with a race quad that is actual scale. Not an rc car with an ATV body but a real quad frame design with a rider that shifts weight for turning. That would be sick
My thoughts are that this release has opened an entirely new RC category. Epic.
Takes me back to the 90s when TYCO released their dirtbike.
I always wanted that bike. At the time one was never availible at Toys R Us. They jaf about every other tho. That bike stayed sold out. They had a mortorcyle too.
I had the purple sport bike Tyco made. That thing was tons of fun!
Awesome video, its good to see how well it does in the thick grass and how good it can turn cause most videos make it look like it needs a football field to turn around in.. I can't wait to get my hands on one. Look like a ton of fun.
Really appreciate that! It turns much better than I expected. The thick grass just catches it now and then if you turn too sharp. It still does amazing imo
The Promoto MX definitely needs a Ronnie Mac livery
Heck yeah!
Excellent Video! Thanks for sharing the fun with your Family, beautiful scenery and your property. I think I need one of these!
Right On!😎👍🏻
Seems like a lot of fun! Everyone took a crack at it and was able to drive it. That says something doesn't it? After all those jumps nothing broke? We have a local 1/8 track I am hoping we can convince to make a losi bike night! There seems to be a few locals getting into them. I have to wait a couple of months before I can order mine.
No breakage yet! Hard on battery leads cramming them into it. Sorted that out a bit with a couple shorty packs I had. Can’t believe it hasn’t broke yet honestly lol
Man so good to see you guys just having fun that's what it's about just enjoying each other having a laugh I love your channel bro cuz it feels like I'm with you you know what I mean God bless you my brother
Appreciate it man! I absolutely enjoyed making this vid and just running with the kids etc. I’m probably gonna be doing more vids like this for sure. Bashing and rtr reviews. Way more fun than the usual test this chassis, test that part etc lol
I just got mine in today, things awesome, havent hit any jumps yet but its really simple to drive as long as you understand how to turn a motorcycle
It’s amazing huh? I just can’t get enough of it!
Yeah that is pretty sweet Yep I’m here watching
Always appreciate ya!
Just need 10 of these on a scale supercross track, awesome looking machine 👍
Yes!!!
Good product what about jumps did you set the first Mode on the radio ? It’s easy to do jumps ? Take care
I actually started out jumping in wheelie mode and it jumped so well I left it there. I may play around jumping in other modes on my next video to see what happens.
Awesome video! I raced motocross all over the U.S when i was a teenager in the mid to late 90s, so i am interested in these. Man i could build and finish a ton of my crawlers with that much coin though!
Ahhh that thing is awesome!!!
I'd like to see you full send it metal malicia style of that huge barn roof in the background....lol
Also does it feel like if you throttled it or break really hard in mid air that it could do back flips and front flips?
This feels like the first authentic, non-sensationalized review I have seen on this product.
Really appreciate that! Definitely what I was going for. A real first thoughts review. Not an infomercial lol
@@2fmrc thank you! The other ones floating around are so obviously biased.
Hello Matt nice video very entertaining have a question the spokes on the wheels have you had a problem with those bending or breaking RC driver had his and his were bent up and he wasn't doing half as what you were doing with jumps yours look fine?
Hey! Thanks for the comment. I do have a couple on the front wheel that look to have a slight bend but nothing that looks like it would hurt anything or even any real stress marks like they would crack or break. I’ve definitely been hard on mine but so far it’s taking the abuse. The main thing that isn’t going to last is the clothes lol. First run on blacktop (a few mins ago) and I ripped an elbow out lol. I’ll definitely be doing an update vid soon!
@@2fmrc sounds good, be waiting! 👍
you have lots of kids!!! i bet they love having alll your rc stuff around!! i know i would but kids are different these days my sons like them a littlle bit but not like i have all my life i have loved Rcs just like you
Just two for me lol. The others were just visiting. Everyone enjoys hanging around and running the RCs for sure.
@@2fmrc hey just two for me too!! Ahh ok cool cool
What a beautiful lawn.
Thanks! I work hard to try keeping it that way lol
As far as the technology goes, they have done something new for RC motorcycles. While gyro's and flywheels have been around for years, none has been put to use specifically for RC motorcycles. It's years ahead of any other motorcycles. I have an old nitro Ducati motorcycle, that thing was a piece of junk 😂 I haven't ordered this one yet, I'll get one eventually though
You need to get some Evil Kenevil colors going on!!! Especially after that crazy jump!!!🤘🤘🤘
I’d love to have a set of Evil colors! I’ve already been thinking i need to jump the garage or something cool 😆
This is probably the highest I’ve seen anyone jumping this RC. You sent it 😎🫡
Yeah I think I can get a little more out of it 😆
@@2fmrc 😎😎🫡respect
was really hoping to see you review this i love it thanks for sharing also i love the shirt
Holy sht. Wonder how the flywheel likes taking hits like this
The beginning of the video looks very professional! I like seein you in front of the camera like this
Thanks! Gonna try doing that a bit more. Glad you like it. So far it’s taken the beating. I’m very surprised it hasn’t broke something yet lol
@@2fmrc you gotta take it to the track! I have faith with this nice camera that we’ll get some good footage… most people record their videos with GoPros and iPhones that end up looking terrible by the time it’s edited
Matt, good morning . Could I trouble you for two measurements of the losi promoto mx? I'm wanting to set it on a shelf that I already have up in my hobby room . And still no word from Horizon hobby about my pre-order. I need the length from center to center of the wheels . And the width from outside to outside of the lean bars . And I'll divide by 2 and will see if I can keep the shelf, or have to by a large one . Whenever it's convenient for you . Thank you . Have a great day .
Hey! No prob at all. The length from wheel nut to wheel nut is about 14 1/4” and the width from outside to outside is 10”. Hope this helps and hopefully you’ll hear something soon on the shipment! I think they’ve been bombarded with orders on these things lol
@2fmrc Thank you, Matt . I think I'm buying a new shelf, lol . As far as getting one soon, I think that's just wishful thinking . I contacted Horizon Hobby by their stupid live online texting crap yesterday. And some guy named Chris c. He told me that there is no way to tell how long it's going to take . That it depends on when I ordered mine vs. When the other ones were ordered. But would not tell me when the date of the first ones were ordered and how many have been sent out or what date they are up to now. When i asked if for an estimate, if it would be a week , month , year , or decad , he ✂️ off our conversation. So I called my local hobby shop here in Vegas. Friendly hobby. They told me that they have only received 10% of all the pre-orders they have . And that they can not get any information from their suppliers on when the next batch will come . Do you know the date you placed your order, Matt? It reminds me of the Playstation 5 pre-ordered fiasco. It took a year for my son in law to get one . No one could give any information in that situation either. Do you know who is doing the manufacturing of this losi promoto mx ? ... is it being manufactured in China. Or is it in the US? Anyway, buddy, thank you again for taking the time for the measurements. And making that short with the big air . Man, that is so funny 😁 . Have a great weekend. 👍 much respect.
Land speed record running : TWEEK wheel opposite direction wanting to turn ,wheels go out from under motorcycle causing opposite direction turning emidatly (WHEEL edge is what causes turning when leaning)
Great video and well said losi gave us something new and I’m excited about this release can’t wait to pick up mine up soon..
Yeah it’s definitely something that was needed imo
S'weeeet !
Now I know why you didn't get the mashigan... Ida made the same choice .
That's the coolest rc in a long time.
I love the "internal" flywheel versus the rear wheel design
Yeah I think it makes it much more scale looking when running. I’m having a blast with it! So glad I held off lol
Lmao 🤣 you sent it so hard !!! NO you can NOT run it on 3s .... the motor can handle it but they say the gyro will not . I have mine on pre-order . And I have a question for you . Did they notify you by email when it was being shipped? Because mine still says on backorder. And I can't get an answer out of horizon hobby. I suggest you watch all the great videos they have from losi on how to do all the upgrades. So well done and informative. I ordered the blue one too . Any buddy nice to see you again . I just finished building my new granddaughter a crawler. It's pink. I'll have to shoot you a couple pictures of it . I think you would like it . She just turned 2 and loves it . Great video, Matt
Thanks! Yes I got an email from horizon saying it shipped and giving me tracking info. Hopefully yours will ship soon! I really wish they had thought ahead on the gyro for running 3s but it’s pretty crazy on 2s honestly. Probably don’t need 3s. It we always want more power lol
@2fmrc from all the videos I have watched over the last 3 weeks . 3s would be a waste of power. It would be impossible to hold down the front end . Honestly Matt I am still lmao at the big air . I'm sending it to everyone right now . I have a lot of people here right now for a pool party and have everyone watching the TV out in the backyard. Thanks so much for the joy . That image is burned 🔥 into my brain 🧠 forever lol 😆
@@think2cre81 haha! I love it! Hope you guys are having a blast. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy 4th!
I wonder if you can back off the slipper clutch so it wouldn't pop the front end up . Nobody is making adjustments to the clutch.
If they loosen it up some what would happen. Will the front end stay down more or not. Thanks for video
I would say so. It definitely loops out quick if it’s not in wheelie mode and you punch it lol. I think the pavement mode is supposed to really help keep the front end down but I haven’t tried it out much yet.
Man that’s beautiful piece of property mah boy. Cool bike too
Thanks! Really appreciate it. Lots of hard work to call it home but it’s well worth it.
Losi hit it out the park with it. Great video
You said parts and things are available for it the are NOT yet ! A whole lot of people are getting pretty pissed off at losi and horizon cuz we can't even get order !! It was ordered it on July 22nd , no communication from Osceola rising just playing back ordered in fact their site says available June of 2023 what ?? it's July !!
Yeah when I made this video all the mess hadn’t completely unfolded yet lol. The parts were up for preorder which was to be expected for the first wk or so after launch but then it all went south lol
Very cool, and best of all everyone looks like they was having fun 💯
Yes! Everyone has enjoyed it for sure. I had a lot of fun making this video. It was much needed lol
It's always funny to me when non-motorbikers find out about counter steering, one mod anyone could do to make it turn easier and more consistently is to put more weight on the front wheel to exaggerate the gyroscopic counter steering effect.
does the bike straighten out when you put the steering wheel back to neutral? or like an airplane, do you have to straighten out the bike by maneuvering the steering wheel??? like the SR5 super rider i have. thks
It basically straightens itself out. You kinda find yourself going back and forth a bit at slower speeds for sure but it pretty much centers back up. It absolutely feels & looks like you’re riding a real bike imo. I just got my first run on blacktop with it and watching it dive turns and kick the front wheel out is just amazing.
@@2fmrc do you have to keep the steering wheel turned for turning and it straightens up as soon as you return to neutral like a rc car?
1930, that roof looks like a lot of fun. Lol
We think alike 😆
How come nobody is mentioning that it doesn’t have reverse? LOL. Nice run in the Kentucky Blue And Launched!!!
Lol that’s what my son said soon as he ran up next to the house. Where’s the reverse? Haha!
Man, you are killing me! I pre-ordered the Green one and it turns out that one is delayed compared to the Red and Blue ones...
Yeah I kinda want a green one as well! Thought about getting the green plastics but we may just need another to race each other with 😆
@@2fmrc glad to hear you are enjoying it enough to want another one!!
HH had only the green one available when I ordered. The other two were on back order 🤷♂️ I guess I’ll just wait
Should put it on a trailer behind your scx6... Love the videos💪
I was thinking the same thing! Just need a trailer for the scx6 lol
These look so cool but i idk if i would spend 600$ on one. i really want to see what the price looks like in a year
Black Friday deals could be awesome in a year or two
Wow,that was awesome 👍
The steering is exactly how a 1:1 motorcycle turns.
Yep the only time you turn normal is at very slow speeds. Like 10mph or less
Yeah it’s awesome that they made it run that way. Actually makes for some super scale looking riding!
I never understood what people meant by this… I see the RC turning is opposite but when I ride a bike I don’t turn the opposite direction? See people riding dirt bikes at all speeds… turning just like you would would a bicycle? They turn the handle bars right, the forks turn right, the bike goes right… not the opposite direction like this? What kinda dirt bikes is everyone else riding wtf🤔
@@V8chump Go ride a 1:1 motorcycle at anything over 15 mph and you will find out what everyone is talking about. Its called counter steering. When you get a motorcycle up to speed you actually push your handle bars the way you want to go and it makes the bike dive into the corners. Its hard to explain to someone. Once your a semi-experienced rider you will understand counter steering on two wheels and how it works.
@@jhawk1985 100% i let my passenger steer from the back seat on my bike one time, she tried to muscle it and point the wheel the direction she wanted to go and was surprised every time the bike went exactly opposite of what she was trying to do. Lol
Well done.
Good review.
Subscribed!
Really appreciate that! Definitely let me know if you need anything. I try my best to answer all comments and share the best I can. Means a lot to me you’d hit the sub button!
It is waay cooler than I first thought :D
I think with a dirt track if you have the room this is a no brainer purchase
Oh man! On dirt it would be a blast! I may at least build some doubles or something for it. It would be so fun timing jumps with it.
@@2fmrc no doubt maybe triple lol
They're on backorder ,not available , only a select few got them brick-and-mortar stores and some UA-camrs....
Yeah luckily I was in on the first shipment. I ordered mine the minute they were up for preorder and paid for 2 day shipping lol. I have the green ordered as well through amain and no word on it yet.
What's the average run times you're getting? Curious cause it's running two motors..
In the thick grass I’m probably getting 20 mins. I feel like it would easily get 25-30 on packed dirt or blacktop. It’s pretty amazing how long it runs with all of the stuff it’s powering. I’m sure it depends how much you’re on the throttle etc. I’ve been running some 8000mah packs but they got some age to them so they aren’t getting full run time I’m sure. I think most are getting 20-25 mins or so on the spektrum g2 battery. I ordered one to test out and see how it runs on those vs the cheaper packs I’m using. Hope this helped!
@2fmrc thanks for they reply!
I definitely want one after watching this video 👍awesome durability test 😅
Awesome! Hopefully yours holds up as well as mine. So far no breaks! Just all fun lol
Counter steering (turn left to go right, right to go left) is how all motorcycles work, so this thing is functioning like a real bike.
Yeah it’s amazing they made it work so well. It’s part of why it looks so realistic when cornering though!
Thanks!!👍🏻 I was wondering what mode everyone was doing jumps in. Stayed so straight in the air!! Really impressed and saving my pennies to get one!!🤙🏻🤘🏻❤️🔥🔥 btw. New sub here, lovin the content 👋🏻😁
Awesome! I appreciate the sub so much! Honestly we just started jumping it in wheelie mode and it was jumping so well that I didn’t even bother changing it lol. Maybe if I was on a dirt track I would want more control to nose into landings etc but the way I was hitting this jump I just stayed in the throttle and it did it’s thing lol
Forget the bike! Check out that green grass!!
Haha!
Nice ! I’m still waiting for someone to make a scale motocross track instead of just bashing 😢
That would be a ton of fun! Also a lot of work lol. I’m sure it’ll happen eventually
I think the best review on the tube so far bud💯🇬🇧🥳🥳
Thanks for sharing you and your family’s joy🤩🙏🏿
The way your kids rode the bike makes it looks so easy
I wonder if you’ll be angling off your edges so he’s a smooth transition from concrete to grass😁😀
Really appreciate that! Means a lot. We’ve definitely been having a blast with it so far.
Awesome Video !!!
Thanks! Really appreciate it
let me know if it breaks jumping that high
I’ll definitely update if it does! So far it’s good!
What about the best RC bike and most scale? The Atomic MM450, look it up.....
Yeah if you could still get them. It was a B. Deegan bike tho….. there is none better 🤘
@@2fmrc Yes, the Metal Mu
lisha MM450! I have 3 of the still running and spare parts enough for a while, plus 2 brand new gyro/rear wheel kits in the box!!
I seen few videos on that thing is it just 2s or is up to 3s
Only 2s. Neither the main esc or the flywheel esc are rated for 3s. It rips on 2s though!
Top speed run?
Yeah I gotta take it out somewhere I can open it up. The huge launch off that jump was at full speed but it’s hard to stay consistent in the gravel.
42. They all seem to run 42
42 just like every other review on UA-cam
@@polstery not everyone can set around and watch UA-cam videos all day. Loser.
I want an on road street motorcycle to out run all the traxxas slash at my local RC track
0:38 first look & what,s included
Man I want one!
My grand parents have a big garden and I’m gonna build a big supercross track in it
Not over priced 🤣
Heck no! I would’ve paid a lot more for this thing after running it. I’m having as much or more fun with it as my xmaxx which was $900!
Awesome ,but too expensive for me. 😑
Tam's other half
Just buy the battery 50 to 100. And a 300 dollar charger. Then it fits. Rip!!!
Already got 3-4 chargers so I’m set on that. I would recommend most people buy the battery they recommend. I found my zeee 6000mah shorty packs fit really well. I just have like 20 2s batteries from my track days that need to be used anyway so I decided to hold off on the batts lol. I did grab one to run in it and compare.
Good to see another vid of ppl aware that this isnt as groundbreaking as is made out. But just like you said losi just perfected it.
Yeah they definitely made the technology much much better but it’s not really a brand new idea. I didn’t mean to play down what they did but I had a few people who were just amazed of a self righting Rc motorcycle and I was like well…… 😆
2s is heaps
YOU WILL BURN THE GYRO UP IF YOU RUN IT ON 3S BROTHA
Yeah that’s what I’ve heard. Be fun for a bit 😆
how break a rc model
Maybe next time. Didn’t break this time around. I’ll go bigger 🤪
1/4 scale.That makes the guy on it about 4 ft tall.ok lol
He’s also a jockey! Lol
It’s fun but not $550 fun🙄
I actually would’ve paid quite a bit more for it. Most fun I’ve had with a new release in awhile. It’s just so unique and different from anything I have.
So the only people getting these have a channel..I preordered on June 22. So they shut everything down and select few get them. I’m done here. I am canceling as soon as the site comes back on. The thing is looking like a money pit and it drives like shit. Not worth the 1000 that will be spent right out of the gate with all the crap that should have installed on it in the first place. Plus proline. It does not preform well enough for that kind of money
I ordered mine from horizon. Only reason I have it is the blue shipped first and I PAID for 2 day shipping. If you have an email I can send you receipts? They had no idea I have a channel. Horizon won’t recognize my channel because I don’t put out infomercials like all the others. I will say this thing is the most fun I’ve had with any Rc in awhile. I already placed an order for a green one as well 🤘
The bloke on the bike is to big it doesn't look quite right .
I think it looks slightly better than most of the other bikes available but he does seem a little large at certain angles to me.
I don't think your good enough to build a landing and land the jump properly .... 😉
Who needs to build one? I have a roof with a downward slope on the other side of my house 😆
Where the heck do you live? Beautiful man!
I’m in Ky! Lots of nice land in the area. Appreciate it
