At 6:33 that save into a wheelie was so sick. Thanks for running it without bars for us curious!
the wheelie is way over at 6:33
yes thanks
Nice vid Greg. I noticed that when you removed the broken piece, it still looked ok. There's a product that I use that's better than crazy glue, you may have heard of it it's called "Q-bond" it comes with a very powerful glue, black powder for plastics, and grey powder for metal repairs. I think it's great to repair RC plastic parts in case of an emergency.
You can achieve the same results sprinkling baking soda on the superglue before it dries. It’s hard to fathom how strong it becomes
I honestly don’t think the lean bars look that bad anyway, they blend in much better than the hoops the other brands ran👌 great vid mate
Now THAT is truly a body clip.
LMAO right? Ias thinking the same thing. Cheers
Great video! I think we have all been craving more content on these. Glad they got you the part fairly quickly. Thanks for the vid.
I agree this release is a big deal in the RC hobby. LOSI did their R and D on this product, and it shows. I'm going to wait for the second batch and buy one for sure !! Great video, you seem to have the go to content on this, and you are doing a great job of real world RC testing !!
I am superimpressed that it is actually driveable (rideable?!)!
I want one, but i figured I'd wait till prices come down a bit or a good sale.... and maybe they will have made a V2 with eventual bugs sorted out...
I allready have too many RC, so for once I will try and restrain myself! :D
I agree on waiting on the next batch because I think the next batch go be faster and 3s ready I believe this one is 2s I haven’t seen nobody run 3s with on this
@@lamontpaynes389 It's not out of the box ready for 3S, it would burn it out, according to a review I watched.
@@lamontpaynes389Earl Moorehead put the Vendetta 3s ESC in one. Has a video of how to do it.
This new machine is unbelievably cool...I really hope they come out with something sport related like Kyosho.
Killer shots. Nice to see it without the lean bars, but for practicality I think they are good.
Thanks for the video! Seems easy enough to replace and honestly looks like a good "fusible link" to prevent damage to more expensive or harder to replace pieces.
One tip I use on my bikes... get some stiff nylon rod say 3mm (like brushcutter line) and use that as a lean bar. Bend it rearward so it doesn't catch.. Doesn't look too out of place and does a great job of keeping the back wheel on the ground if you tip over hence throttling out and away.
Plenty of RC race bike action on YT to see what I mean.
Nice, thanks for showing all the details and functions. Can imagine this will bring a lot more people in to the hobby 👌
This is exactly what I wanted to see someone test on this thing. Bumps without the bars. Looks awesome, thanks !
What about two little servos to stretch out the legs ....or linear rails...just an idea😉
Thank's for Sharing the Repair Greg 🏁 Question about the amount of room for the plate and a possible reinforcement 1/8 inch thick aluminum plate attached to it?
Nice Run without the stability bar's but I'll be using them allot because of Sharing this Model with young Family members and My old self LOL 😆😂😆
✌🤠👍 Having Fun Laughing Playing and RCing
🙏 Stay Safe and Play Healthy My Friend 💯
These are going to be everywhere! Bunch of these bashing around would be sweet!
not soooo many people got 600 dpllars to spunk on 16 mins playtime.............
Love that turn, and wheelie out of it at 6:30! Awesome!
LOL, yeah, I watched that one a few times myself. 😄
Losi did a fantastic job with the R&D. We got to play with the sample model at my shop and man is it unreal. So easy to drive and also easy to work on. Every offroad RC enthusiast needs a Losi ProMoto. It's just bad! I have 7 different RC bikes. The Exceed RC dirtbike that has a brushed motor-powered flywheel we converted to brushless doesn't even compete with the Losi ProMoto. My Thunder Tiger nitro-powered rc sport bikes are so hard to control. Losi hit it out of the park with this one.
There was a smaller version of these a number of years ago..I think it was the Jeremy McGrath ones on yamaha. The kids had them
I like the layout and how everything fits into each other. More RC vehicles should be made like this.
This is a very useful video. I think most people will want to use the bars, so you don't have to constantly put it upright and prevent damage to the bike. This is a great release and it will be interesting to see if the competitors try to catch up.
Agreed! Well done, Losi!
Totally doable... it's new, we will have to figure it out😅 Looks so sick with out them👍
Nice to see it running without the leanbars. Looks like the bike is fairly wrench friendly too.
It is. I tore it down in my first video too and reassembled it without the manual and didn’t wind up with any “spare” screws. lol Keeping the wires neatly sorted after a teardown is the one area that might take time. I haven’t torn down the forks either. But everything else
seems good.
Nice to see you got it back up and running.
I had the old Ricky Carmichael rc bike. I took off the lean bars and that would pop right up with 5 min of practice. That thing now is 6s 70+ mph brushless.
I'm so glad Losi put this bike out
When it falls, keep giving it throttle and quickly go back and forth with the steering. You'll get it to spin and lift
Thanks for all the videos on this release, they have been very informative.
Happy to help!
heck yes ordered mine and cant wait!
probably could have been better plastic. i beat my stuff up pretty hard, and the RPM parts on my Cars/Trucks hold up well. i wonder if RPM will consider making parts for this
Man! I sure thought u was going to show us in this video how each of those tires responded on the bike.
Brings back memories when I had the tyco Harley Davidson RC and later got the RadioShack one which was so much fun. I think I had a blue fork bike one also.
5:20 super awesome it does not just sink in the sand :).
I think this would be a great race set up this will give riders tome to work on their driving skills for racing
I will consider the lean bars like training wheels....as I learn the ins and outs to the driving experience I will lean them up little by little till all the way up....
Awesome bike, can't wait to get mine
Been waiting for this.
Great video and information on the bike. Out of the box, my bike would not wheelie. I thought it may have been the cheap/weak battery I was using but that wasn't the case. Another RUclipsr suggested tightening up the slipper clutch which worked for about 2 batteries, now I'm back to very short (5 foot long) wheelies or no wheelies at all. I've continued to tighten the clutch until the nut has bottomed out---but my lackluster results are the same. I even took the clutch apart and lightly sanded the discs with 1000 grit sand paper. I run on very coarse asphalt so traction isn't a problem. Just curious if you or any of your viewers have had similar issues. Otherwise the bike is a hoot to drive. Btw, I tried to contact Losi and Horizon with zero success. Thanks again!
What a great combo vid... repair job (much easier than expected), no lean bar demo.and tire/wheel options. Thanks Greg, always enjoy the content! As you said, LOSI really did a great job. I'm curious what they do to improve on what seems like perfection in the future.
Yeah, that repair is an under 5 minute job. Glad you liked the combo vid!
reducing the price would be a start .....................
@@raymondo162 It may come down in time, to be fair, it's pretty revolutionary. I see a lot of RC's that seem way outta their price range, but that comes with the hobby. Right now this bike has no real competition if any, so they can reap the rewards.
@@raymondo162that would be nice, but, I haven’t seen a decrease for popular Traxxas rc cars. This is going to be in demand for awhile. I think this is the cheapest it’s going to be for a few years.
A company that puts in the work to develop what looks to be a “game changer”. Should be rewarded financially. I hope they sell 10 times the quantity they forecasted and develop more versions. GP? WSBK? If they are what they are appearing to be I do t think we will see the prices come down anytime soon.
The attention to detail on these "toys" is simply amazing.
I've already seen complaints from some that it doesn't turn like a car. But of course it doesn't. I think part of the fun will be learning a new skill.
That’s exactly right. It’s a 2 wheel bike so it’s not going to turn like a 4 wheel car. It’ll be a learning curve for some.
Could be cool with extendable support wheels, they could incorporate it into the heel of rider, but that would be quite a bit of kit, dont even want to know waht the bike would cost then. But damn that thing is suprisingly stable without the helpwheels. :D
I can't wait until mine arrives, I ordered the green one so I know it'll be a while
Maybe there could be an aftermarket minimized part, similar to the Kyosho NSR bike’s wire, that might be a good balance of functionality and aesthetics?
This thing is so cool....its really got my attention
I like the tire combo's already available....however I hope our friends at proline give us a rear paddle option. Us sand riders could really use them 😅
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for you. 😀 Paddles would be awesome!
I was thinking the same thing!
I think a more streamlined boot cover/saver thing, like an extended bash plate might stop the feet grabbing. Riding on softer watered tracks with ruts in them would be so cool without the lean bars.
It’s looking like Losi nailed it! This is going to be an awesome RC, I’m stocked on it. I’ll be subscribing to your channel with the added bonus that you are a fellow Gladiator owner, love the color man 👍🏻 and I really love the Rubicon wheels, I have the Mojave 👊🏻
Thanks! I was pretty excited to get a Gator Clear Coat JTR, it gets some attention even though it’s pretty much stock. Mojave’s are pretty sweet!
Wow great off-road racing, nice bike 💯👍😊
Ditched mine yesterday and won’t go back. 👍
It used to catch and flip constantly in the dirt even with the bars tucked.
Good stuff Greg!
Love this bike
Another great vid and this amazing bike. I can't wait until these start shipping. Those Supermoto's look like a winner.
Thanks again! Yeah, a lot of people seem to be getting excited for those Supermoto tires. Looking forward to trying them myself.
Yes! And it looks like some people are already getting them.
@@mgscheue 🤞Mine comes soon.
We’re gonna slide his jersey up *laughs* lol 😂 you the man
I can already see pro RC Racing on these little bikes and without the lean bars for added skill
Excellent vid bud! Hope losi makes a road bike soon.
Man, this thing looks so epic! That fix looked really easy, how much was the part?
Awesome without the bars👍👍👍
Super nice video! I (like most) am very excited for this release!
Does Proline have Ray Charles over there gluing??? Wow!
They'd get sent back if I got wheels glued like that, wtf 😂
No doubt!
I was smiling ear to ear as soon as you started the speed runs. I want one NOW, but Santa is 5 months away. 🤑😞
It is a good practice to put all screw in first, and then tighten all the screws.
Got mine ordered!!! 💪💯
Enjoy!
That's what i wanted to see, a camera mounted on the bike. Amazing.
I would think a thin wire with a strong spring rate would work well.
I think they use them on the street rc motorcycles
Just an idea for gluing the Holeshot to the 2-piece wheel. Instead of using the usual thin CA glue, use a thicker CA that takes longer to dry. Put the tire in the wheel, but NOT in the 'grooves', and screw the wheel together. Next, using a Q-tip (or similar), lay down the CA into the groove on one side of the wheel, coating the bottom, and both sides, and then 'pull' that side of the tire into the groove. Once that side is done, repeat the process for the other side. Once both sides have dried, do a light coating, using the usual thin CA, around the edges of both sides, essentially "sealing" the tire & wheel together. Just an idea worth trying. 🤙🏼
Good thoughts. I’ve been thinking of all the different tire gluing scenarios I’ve encountered. Lots to think about before I fire up the camera to show it. Might have to make another call to PL to see what their procedure is too.
@@rcdriver not sure why they don’t just make them premount to be honest 🤷♂️
I cant wait till mine shows up for personal experimenting as well 8-)
Great video! What's the model of the Makita screwdriver you're using?
Awesome👍🌟
Looks much better without the bars!
i really like it. 600 is too steep. gotta get this think closer to 400. maybe 450. 600 dollars gets you so much in the RC world in regards to cars/trucks. i just dont see this thing taking off at that price point.
Hey bud witch mode do you prefer to run and witch one is the fastest. I cant imagine running a 3s in there cause its decent on 2s already.
Liked and subscribed 👍 Cool video and cool bike.
Thanks Greg
Def use the slow set CA glue and not thin CA glue or getting those tires to sit nice will be very tough!
Realy cool
Awesome video Greg cant wait to see those new tires in action!!
I’m dying to try them but it’s going to rain for the next 3 days. 😭
@@rcdriver yeah here in upstate ny as well
Game changer, for sure.
how about testing and tweaking front brakes for more stopping power?
Alright, now I need to see this thing do backflips and whips!
I’ve been working on it…
Hey, how do u adjust the lean bars?
I wonder if there's a way to use 3S lipo thing would be rowdy
What drill are you using?
It will be great if after market or losi introduce headlight for bike in place of front number plate 💡❤
Amazing video CNC part on its way to be produced
Thank you. I sure we’re going to see some cool aftermarket goodies for the bike.
OMG you killed Kenny 😂 you split him in half 🤣 hood video! Thank you!
I think if u put the tire on the rim first and pull both beads to the middle of the rim. Then aply the glue into the rim slot on 1 side then push the tire into the bead and do that to each side 1 at a time would be alot better way to mount the tire to the rim
Think i would keep the lean bars because they will protect the riders feet and legs 👍👍😀
Crazy the techmology today
Great video. Great bike :-) I will be looking forward to your try out with Supermoto tires. Looks rad indeed.
Thank you! The PL videos have me pumped to try them!
@@rcdriver Hopefully soon 😁
Something I wondered as soon as I saw the bike I figured it'll work great till you crash
It's like taking your training wheels off I have a feeling I'm gonna be doing that then if you keep that thing on two wheels it's a real testament of skill
Can the size of the front and rear sprockets be changed?
4:26 that was awesome highlights
cannot wait for all the aluminum upgrades.
Same!
Can use a HV-lipo battery?
If and When they come out with the Street Bike versions, That's when the sales will skyrocket. Guaranteed.
At 1:30 do you know why the receiver has a ground connection to the chassis plate?
Pre- ordered my RTR in green, why? Because the others were on back order on Horizon Hobby.
Waiting on the crotch rocket street version! Ya know it's coming!
That's going to be amazing
nice. running without the training wheels makes it a skill.
Exactly. The more I ran it, the quicker I got at reacting to the bike’s movements such as punching the throttle when a foot caught the ground, to get the bike to stand back up.
I appreciate your editing I find it difficult to sit through long installs lol😂
NP! lol. The actual swap would probably take someone under 5 minutes to complete.
@@rcdriver great content 😎☝🏽
I’m thinking instead of upright wheels perhaps a molding plate on each side beneath the drivers feet. Bet it would work and look nice.
That’s similar to what I was thinking. I bet the 3D printing guys will come up with something.
I hope they make a street bike version as well. A scale r1 or something
What about low foot peg mod/ support bar
