I've been watching most of the reviews on this, and yours is right up there with the best. I think this is going to be the hottest selling RC in years , and they will not be able to keep up production. I will be getting one for sure, but I'll wait for the second batch. I never buy first run of anything. The coolest RC in years, IMO.
I really appreciate that & totally agree. This is definitely release of the year and probably the hottest release in many years. I’m loving everything about it.
Great advice on the rubber exhaust tip. I glued mine and glad I did . Because I noticed that the two screws that hold the exhaust on , were stripped from the factory. All the plastic threads were on the two screws . So I had to apply crazy clue around the inside of the holes and the re-tap the threads . If I had not checked it after watching your video. I would have lost the whole exhaust not just the rubber tip . Thanks for all your videos.
Just watching this - you came to the exact same battery solution I came to as well. Shorty with flat bullets and notch in the side. Video literally scheduled to come out tomorrow. Great minds think alike! :)
Hey Matt Tim again. Trying to share something with you before they are gone . Today VITAVON released an all aluminum front brake caliper for the promoto. It looks awesome . I knowca lot of people I've seen on UA-cam have had some Trouble with the stock one sticking . I believe this caliper will be a nice upgrade. I know their swing arm is second to none on the market now. Best design I have seen . Anyway just wanted to put it out there. Stay cool 😎
It also seems like one of those easy to learn but hard to master type deals. With some better understand of the tuning and leveling up the riding skills these things can probably be so smooth and fun on a track.
I got my green bike last week and finally ran it on Sunday and man it is so much fun! You put out a few tips I appreciate and look forward to more videos on it since I hit the follow button.
very good video, could you use a dx5, to see exponentials, launch control, telemetry and more configurations? You just have to update the dx5, great channel, congratulations
I think so! I actually got rid of all of my spektrum transmitters so I really don’t have the option to try it but maybe I’ll end up with another dx5 to test that out. Great idea for sure! Thanks for the watch and comment!
One day we’ll have full on races and tournaments, tricking and stunt shows, maybe trials bikes stuff. Everyone will have painted or decal customized bikes and riders. Gonna be 🔥🔥
Horizon definitely screwed the pooch on these preorders. I ordered mine from my hobby shop. They were told they were getting 6. Order came and no bikes. They have no idea when they are coming in. So there’s a few of us that are pissed. Great review dude!
Oh I’m sure man! I’d be totally pissed if I were you. I honestly feel like they should’ve honored the hobby shops first. I think they kinda did some but not others which is messed up also. Idk how I got lucky enough to get mine shipped. I did order form horizon as soon as preorders went up and paid for 2 day shipping (like always) but I’m still surprised it came as quick as it did. I keep hoping some good news will pop up for everyone that’s still waiting. Really sorry you haven’t got an update at least. Hopefully you hear something soon!
As soon as you said you were in Kentucky I hit the subscribe button! I also live in Kentucky. Louisville area, what part of the state are you in. If you don't mind me asking. Thanks!
Heck yeah! I actually work in Louisville! I’m only an hour south. Down past Elizabethtown. Really appreciate the sub! We should run some RCs together sometime 🤘
Dang, i figured the se kawi would be the popular one, got my honda red one on the 5th, supposedly the next shipment will be coming mid july, hope you get yours, youll love it!
My wife said you and I would get along great because we are both big dorks lol. I said the world needs more dorks because the world would be a better place. Everyone would be smiling, laughing and just having a good time. So don't change I'm not dorks rule lol😅😅😅
I really wanted blue but I pre ordered green at release because I didnt have any smart batteries and it seemed like a nice feature and then I know the batts would fit,I ordered a couple extra batts too,now I got batts but no bike or eta
Wow! I really hate it for ya. I know I would be ticked. It’s really not fair. I think horizon should do something extra for people just like you who ordered at the same time as others but got shafted for basically spending more money! Hopefully it’ll ship soon.
Which mode are you in on the jumps? Do you just hold the trigger at the top of the ramp or do you just let off the trigger like on a RC car at the top of the ramp?
Try a (generic) 2s HV pack. IF the gyro/flywheel doesn't increase, I believe 3s would work. IF it increases ANY, don't try 3s. BUT, as I tell newbie rc pilots from day 1, 'gyros don't make a better pilot'!🤷♂️
I forgot to mention. You can backflip off of a tree trunk just like the XMAX. Just hit the base of the tree like you're going to climb it and then hit full throttle.
@@2fmrclol. I’m not sure the total luck, out of control, looped out wheelie-tap actually qualifies as a backflip. Any chance you could repeat it? That was basically a crash that landed on it’s a wheels. Still a great video. 😃
I have the same type of street to run on and I cannot get my bike to wheelie at all. It will wheelie in the grass, but that's the only place. Any thoughts? Thanks!
FYI they sell elbow pads for GI-Joes and other action figures that would work on the rider. Go to a local toy store or Walmart. 19t pinion IMO gives it better performance on grass and while turning to hold RPM better. Stock is 20t. I can't wait for the SuperMoto wheels. I have the blue one and ordered the green one and it said June 12th and looked at it today and now the ETA is gone. I also ordered the black jersey and black plastics that shipped. I went to go order extra blue plastics and now nothing is even on the website. Losi doesn't even have the green one on their site anymore. WTF is going on? Amain had an ETA and now that's gone too. They should have known something this unique was going to sell. The same thing happened when the DBXL came out. They hyped it up and knew it was going to sell like hotcakes and rather than postponing the release to get more inventory they shafted us for 5 months on the pre-order without any notice. The Losi division has some of the best R&D departments of all of RC but they need to fire and hire a new logistics department cause they suck. lol, I also agree the Pro moto mx is the most fun I have had since my first 6s XMAXX. It was huge and gnarly. The XMAXX still puts a smile on my face to this day when I drive it at the skate park. I took my Promotto to the skate park and it was so freaking fun doing the upside-down tubes. You need to go try a skate park with your promote mx. You will laugh like a crazy person, lol.
Haha! I have been thinking about hitting our skatepark with it. The park here is pretty weak but has a nice hillside that I could use for a downslope. I may have to play around with the pinion for sure! I figure eventually something will break and I’ll have to pull it apart. Then maybe I’ll start some mods. But so far it just keeps going lol. Definitely checking out some clothing options and maybe those elbow pads. I got a couple hoodies and a leather jacket ordered. Hoping it all fits! If so I’m definitely ironing on some 2FM logos to those hoodies 🤘
Videos of this product do not impress me at all. They need to get the bikes expedited to the people that have put up their money. Anyone can make an edited video of how great this product is. These videos don’t make anything real to how the product performs for a pro. It’s all hype until we find out for ourselves. Fill the orders. No offense, but come on, don’t tease people for something that’s this overpriced and then not deliver.
I totally agree! I just got lucky that my order shipped. I paid for 2 day shipping (always do so I can get it asap for vids) so luckily I got mine in the first shipment but I definitely feel for the ones who put up their money and have to deal with these wait times. I’d be ticked myself. I’d probably already have canceled my order honestly. I hope you get yours soon so you can see how amazing it is for yourself!
@@2fmrc It’s good you received yours so soon. It seems you did get lucky. I picked your video to say something about shipping wait times hoping more people would see it because your video has many views. I like your video by the way and its not your fault that Losi and Horizon Hobby can’t get these orders filled. It seems like bad planning on their part.
@@appgamer3106 all good! I’m glad to have the comment. Really appreciate the view and comment. It all helps the channel be more successful! Come here to vent any time lol. I really do hope most of these start shipping soon though. Lots of people spent their hard earned money on them.

They already can't keep up 😂

The counter steering on these is what amazes me, Love mine, I may just get another for a buddy to run.

Having only just got mine last week, I found this video very helpful. Great job, well done. 👍
Really appreciate that! Hope you love yours like I do mine!!!
The more i watch the more i want one. Like everyone else. I love my skyrc dirt bike but this is the ultimate to date. Wow great review, thanks.
very good video, could you use a dx5, to see exponentials, launch control, telemetry and more configurations? You just have to update the dx5, great channel, congratulations
I think so! I actually got rid of all of my spektrum transmitters so I really don’t have the option to try it but maybe I’ll end up with another dx5 to test that out. Great idea for sure! Thanks for the watch and comment!
Dammit, I didn’t watch this first, and lost my exhaust tip. Lol I’ll cut one out of the foam that came with the chain adjusters. Great video!
One day we’ll have full on races and tournaments, tricking and stunt shows, maybe trials bikes stuff. Everyone will have painted or decal customized bikes and riders. Gonna be 🔥🔥
Heck yeah! Can’t wait!
im gonna dremmel a larger wire hole on that battery compartment!
Looks like that parking lot get wild, the skid marks are dark.

luuuuuv this vid, thanx sooooo much for posting these vids. thanx for all the info
That's it brother, that's the one I'm gonna get. I believe I could go to the park and run it all day. Keep up the awesome videos my fiend
Heck yeah man!!! So much fun. We will have to get together and you can try it out
That's a dardevil death ramp for huge jumps!😆😅👍
Thanks for the video. I have enjoyed ours so far. the availability of stuff really sucks and always worry me on new releases.
Yeah I dread the minute mine finally breaks 😆 I know it’s coming lol
got mine on the way!!! Can't wait!!! 💯
Nice!!! Hope you love it!
@@2fmrc bro, I already do!!! 💯
U could try a kicker, bang on the break and this could possibly get a front flip out of it. Good effort.
Oh yeah it’ll front flip with ease! Most of the time on accident lol
I remember the old tyco rc dirt Ike that damn thing was all over the place.
love ya have the GPS on the handle bar haha. nice scale look :) ... too bad these bikes went so well that there hard to get now ughh. great vid
Lol appreciate it! Hopefully they’ll be getting the next shipment quicker than expected!
Great Vid!!, Waiting for mine
Great video!😊 I want one now!
Nice video Matt! I'm still waiting for mine😂
Thanks! Hopefully you’ll be riding soon!
I noticed your muffler tip missing before you said something as I had the same issue LOL
I got lucky! Lol
Ordered the green on the first day. Patiently waiting for it to ship...
Dang, i figured the se kawi would be the popular one, got my honda red one on the 5th, supposedly the next shipment will be coming mid july, hope you get yours, youll love it!
Yeah that’s rough man. Hate it for ya. Hopefully they’ll be shipping soon!
@@2fmrc getting by on your awesome videos!! Thanks
same here 🤷♂
Holy smokes that was cool!!!
On aliexpress and others..it has lots of GPM parts..not all but the main ones that break
Great run!
Subbed. VA/Tn line. Used to drive a truck hauling dog kennels from Kingsport, tn to Ky. I know the state well!😅
Awesome! Really appreciate the sub! I’m in Western Ky
My wife said you and I would get along great because we are both big dorks lol. I said the world needs more dorks because the world would be a better place. Everyone would be smiling, laughing and just having a good time. So don't change I'm not dorks rule lol😅😅😅
Heck no! Never change! Dorks have more fun 🤷🏻♂️
I agree 👍
Can you do a video in Wheelie mode changing the ms6x rate so we can see how different it is.
What’s the $50 difference for the green one. I haven’t figured that out yet
I really wanted blue but I pre ordered green at release because I didnt have any smart batteries and it seemed like a nice feature and then I know the batts would fit,I ordered a couple extra batts too,now I got batts but no bike or eta
Wow! I really hate it for ya. I know I would be ticked. It’s really not fair. I think horizon should do something extra for people just like you who ordered at the same time as others but got shafted for basically spending more money! Hopefully it’ll ship soon.
Great review. Thanks,😀
I wonder if gi joe uniforms would fit, might be a good alternative until the aftermarket provides
Yeah I ordered a couple different things to try! Hopefully something will work lol
Great review / vid 😃👍🏻
Good job brother. Great video
Thanks! Really appreciate it.
Someone should make a mini chest protector like the pros use . It would provide protection for the elbows as well 👍
I thought the same thing! Would be killer!!! Plus add the protection lol
Which mode are you in on the jumps? Do you just hold the trigger at the top of the ramp or do you just let off the trigger like on a RC car at the top of the ramp?
Pretty much any mode you can almost just stay on the throttle. If you let off it really wants to nose.
Does a 3s lipo work.... ?
No it’ll burn up the flywheel. At least that’s what they’ve said. I’ve been scared to try it due to being warned it may lol
Try a (generic) 2s HV pack. IF the gyro/flywheel doesn't increase, I believe 3s would work. IF it increases ANY, don't try 3s.
BUT, as I tell newbie rc pilots from day 1, 'gyros don't make a better pilot'!🤷♂️
Big shout out from Ohio brother. Not far away either
Nice! Definitely not far at all. We are up in Cincinnati area now and then for my sons Dr. aptmnts. Appreciate ya watching!
@@2fmrc absolutely man!
They should use the same technology n make a street bike
Yes!!! I was surprised how much fun I had just running it on the pavement.
Street tires/wheels are in the pre-order list.
I forgot to mention. You can backflip off of a tree trunk just like the XMAX. Just hit the base of the tree like you're going to climb it and then hit full throttle.
Yeah I pulled a couple of those off a tree at work actually 😆. I wanted a straight on flip though.
@@2fmrclol. I’m not sure the total luck, out of control, looped out wheelie-tap actually qualifies as a backflip. Any chance you could repeat it? That was basically a crash that landed on it’s a wheels. Still a great video. 😃
@@videditorEB1 yeah I’ve pulled it 3-4 times like this. I’m counting it 😆 If the ramp wouldn’t move it would be a lot easier lol
@@2fmrc lol. 🤣😂🤣 The bike is ridiculously awesome!! Can’t wait for some racing. Thanks for replying. 🙂
I have the same type of street to run on and I cannot get my bike to wheelie at all. It will wheelie in the grass, but that's the only place. Any thoughts? Thanks!
Have you tried tightening your slipper clutch?
@@2fmrc not yet....but that's a great idea. Thank you!
@2fmrc thanks for the help! A smidge of a turn on the slipper clutch and she's riding wheelies all the way down the street! Thanks again!
@@davidconaway2830 nice! Glad it helped
Ky. Support!!
Does that just not look like “On Any Sunday”!
I knew you was going to lose that muffler cap glue it down next time😂
Oh yeah! Definitely glued that thing down
@@2fmrc 💯🔥
Who's gonna be the first. 3s. Lipo. Speed runs. ??????
I'm gonna put a different action figure on mine I'm thinking a red Raphael ninja turtle or Ken from street fighter
It's gonna be epic
