EASY! Chain Tension Adjustment on Losi Promoto MX

Рет қаралды 1,918

Күн бұрын

When the RC has a real chain - it has real chain stretch! :)
After a number of packs running this Losi Promoto MX, I started to notice some stretch. The chain finally dropped enough to hit the swing arm.
Good news - adjusting the chain tension is super-easy.

I'm so glad I switched to the hot racing swing arm. I don't have to take anything apart just loosen the main shaft and adjust the chain with the chain tensioner. Super easy. I'm not sure why all the other app and market ones went with the stock system. They had a chance to improve and hot racing took advantage of that like they always do.

Exactly!

I’ve seen some videos where they have already gone through every chain tension that comes with the RC which tells me that buying chains is going to be like buying tires.

I thought that might be the case as well - but it has taken me A LOT of packs to get to this point. Perhaps where and how folks drives makes a big difference.

I’m so tempted to pull the trigger on one of these

My best RC purchase EVER, hands down, no debate. My first run didn't even require the usage of the stands it came with. I simply held the rider's head with my right hand and pulled the trigger, and this RC is huge, the tires are wider than the ones on my Arrma Mojave. Your jaw will drop when getting thing out of the box, these videos dont do it justice, its a fking big ass MX motorcycle.

This is still a sleek process, but I’m surprised that they didn’t just use a slide and tighten process like a real dirtbike, instead of having to fabricate those inserts. Still though, not a hard application to mess with. Nice job on the step by step!👍🏻👊🏼😎💯

I'm guessing it is exactly so folks didn't screw it up. Hard to get the wheel in crooked this way!

But what do we do after it starts to get loose when you’ve gone through all of the pieces?

@RoadsideRC 3 ай бұрын

Time to buy a new chain!

@thomasblair7996 11 ай бұрын

Easy enough, but if you run it alot how often are you gonna have to tighten and restock on adjusters?

@RoadsideRC 11 ай бұрын

Not sure how often this will be. This is the first time I have had to.

@JeepsCafe 11 ай бұрын

My chain is tight no slop. Should there be a little bit of droop?

@RoadsideRC 11 ай бұрын

It needs to have a little play, yes.

@spenn2007 11 ай бұрын

Is there ANYTHING their R&D team didn't consider? wow. My first run last night was awesome, these things seem to be extremely durable, and everything important is positioned in a protective manner, the poor rider takes a beating lol. My guy just has grass stains, i dont run my offroad RC's on the pavement because concrete curbs are undefeated.

The amount of work that went I to these bikes is staggering. Truly impressive!
