Mine will or supposed to be here tomorrow at noon...can't wait for this... been waiting since July 2nd. I've been very patient..Anyway.. cool video and thanks for the heads up on some of this. Thanks 👍
Of course man, I appreciate the feedback! I’m planning some more videos when it’s not 100 degrees out, until then I have some smaller things like temporary replacement tires and things to do for a chain solution that will be out Tuesday, stay tuned! Some other content will be coming out as well 🙂
The breaks don't bother me as bad as the lack of parts available!! If you're going to offer parts then make sure to have them in stock before the bike hits the market,
I haven’t dealt with that yet, but the nitro chain system I’m running will make easy changes a lot quicker due to the master link. I was kind of disappointed that Losi didn’t have one on the OEM chain
@LifeOfParc Well, I have gravel rock on my street, and some of the rocks go in the cover and stop the rc down, and i have to open up the side to remove a pebble.
Nah there isn’t anything structurally wrong with the bike, main thing I’ve done is taken the graphics off due to the way I clean my RC’s (Windex+compressed air)
Yeah the whole lack of replacement parts is actually why I decided to sell it. I had proline Supermoto wheels/tires ordered back when I first got it, but I never got them.
I bought two Zee 6500mAh 120C from Amazon. I paid $53 dollars. Yes, they actually fit in the bike. I have a question for you. I found out that the range on my stock radio. Is very limited. I ran my bike on an open field. And I kept having range issues. To around 100 feet or so. Is very disappointing. I wish Losi would give us a better option for a radio. Anyway, has anyone had similar problems with range on their radios? I wish I could use my RadioLink link radio. It has tones of range.
Out of the three cars I’ve had (Arrma Typhon, this Losi, and a Lasernut) I haven’t had any range issues, I’ve ran them all the way down my street and they haven’t been out of range at that. I’m glad to see the 6500 120c’s fit, my thing is I’m not wanting to go that high on “C”, I think that’s why people are burning up their flywheels. I’ve seen some people changing their receivers out to other spektrum ones, but I don’t know their results.
That's very likely a broken or damaged antenna, most likely in the receiver. In an open field, it should easily make it far enough that you can't really drive it anymore because you can't tell where it's pointed. If it's not the antenna in the receiver, then it's the transmitter.
@@LifeOfParcESCs or motors don't burn up because of lipos having high c ratings. That's nonsense. The batteries are always supposed to be the largest bottleneck or rather no bottleneck at all. The esc must deliver what the motor needs and the batteries must deliver what the esc needs. Motor
@@AsurasWrath164 A high c rating will kill an esc quick, Think of a c rating as amperage and the ESC is only designed to handle so much flow. esc according to how much current they can handle, so your statement is factually incorrect. You cannot throw any old battery in your ESC.
@@jgrc73 just shut up if you have no clue of electronics. A battery doesn't force its current into an esc. The esc just takes what it demands from the battery.
DUDE! Your a pro basher and nothing less! The damage to the rear wheel and front spokes says volumes about how you think these are driven... I don't drive mine like it's stolen...
It’s a little scuffed but I’m wanting to get a black set of plastics and a different jersey set when there are more available. I don’t mind the damage since it’s all cosmetic and shows I mess around with the bike quite a bit. It’s one of 3 RC’s I currently have as well
It's weird how people beat on toys and then find it necessary to itemize every little scratch or problem, like they shouldn't really be there. Would you buy a new Corvette, thrash it round a track like a hooligan and then complain about damage on that too?
@@LifeOfParc i don't think zeees charge all the way in a soft shell spektrum battery when you pick it up when it's full it feels firm but in a zeee when it's full there's some wiggle room it's like a 5200 is actually a 4800 or something i'm still gonna run spektrum stuff when i can but never the g2 s
@@skijump25I use zee power lipos soft case in my 3d rc helicopters and planes and they peak charge every time & have great power for price! HRB are the best performance to price.
It's an awesome bike but a little over priced and the wheels and tyres are more expensive than my X-Maxx's wheels and tyres which i think is an absolute rip off from Losi.
@dirt5547 ive had rc bikes for nearly 20 years, nitros and electric, on road and offroad, I've heard alot of people bad mouthing them simply because they dont know what they are doing, same with rc helis, What exactly makes the promoto junk? Mostly everyone's raving about it with very few criticisms..
@@mark675 as ive stated it’s one of my favorite RC’s, the literally biggest complaint is lack of parts availability. That said I traded mine for another RC, solely due to that reason though. When I know parts become more available I will be getting another. As of now I have a whole new lineup of RC’s and I just need to work out kinks on like 4 out of 5 of them 🤣 only current one that works is my crawler

Plastic fix super glue and baking soda.good luck. Thank you. SANDSHARK Racing 512..
Good, informative video.....thanks so much!

I agree, I ordered some of the Supermoto tires quite a while ago and I don’t think they’ve even shipped, it’s honestly ridiculous.
@@whocares228 Whoa calm down there skipper
Think Losi were shocked by how well recieved this bike was and were overwhelmed by the preorders etc
Fantastic video.
Great info🤠👍looks like a blast 👍👍👍
i agree with everyone else, great review.
great video amigo
i'm glad it fits on the stand like my other bike does lol
Don’t think this bikes over priced look what everything else cost 550 plus battery this thing is crazy fun
i dont think its really overpriced either, rc bikes is a whole another level of rc, alot more tech to get to work together in a reliable way
With this rc I do deal with rocks getting stuck in the small sprocket gear.
I haven’t dealt with that yet, but the nitro chain system I’m running will make easy changes a lot quicker due to the master link. I was kind of disappointed that Losi didn’t have one on the OEM chain
@LifeOfParc Well, I have gravel rock on my street, and some of the rocks go in the cover and stop the rc down, and i have to open up the side to remove a pebble.
Interesting, I’ve done the same thing with my nearby roads, I must not be noticing it or the bike is just picking up the huge rocks?
@LifeOfParc ya small rocks get wedged inside the sprocket gear and does stop the rc down.
It looks choppered out. Did something bend?
Nah there isn’t anything structurally wrong with the bike, main thing I’ve done is taken the graphics off due to the way I clean my RC’s (Windex+compressed air)
Agreed, it does look like something is off in the front end?
2nd version at christmas !!!!
id take the bodywork off when new and put replacement stuff on. too bad theres not white bodywork, it would hide the scratches better
a big greeting from team marlon r/c
I wonder how they would race?.. you can get a wind up toy to flip over at a Goodwill.. I would wat to race with it.
I wish they had replacement parts available for this bike.

Maxamps! Best lipo batteries!

Trashed the dirt bike by riding it on the street..

If u had a real size one would you abuse it same way ,..u upgrade that bit that breaks u put streets to folks , giv it a try.
I’m more biased for quads when it comes to off-roading, I have a video of my old YFZ450 and I plan to get another shortly

Those people should stop bashing arround, pick up a Nuova Faor csf 411 (no Gyro), and learn how much skill is needet to drive a RC-Motorbike!
You should have bought two. You have to replace a lot of parts. What have you been doing running it into walls. Ride on.
Barbie doll time.
3wks and so much damage you either have more money than sense or just do not respect things
bro you gotta quit buying g2 s they suck they last like 30 cycles
I’m not planning to get any more spektrum batteries tbh, I’m likely gonna start running Zeee’s in everything.

It's junk.
I wouldn’t say junk, it’s been one of my favorite RC’s. Main thing that sucks though, is parts availability.
In other words you can't afford one and are salty about it 😂
