Have you considered that by installing a MUCH stronger, UNFLEXIBLE swingarm, that that just makes FRAME DAMAGE more likely, as the aluminum swing arm will just transmit ALL the impact forces to the swingarm mount and the rest of the frame?
@robmule4647 Жыл бұрын
You're worrying about nothing, the rear shock with 21lb spring takes the force from the swing arm.
@hichkakdeemo5413 Жыл бұрын
@@robmule4647 That's a bit of a simple way to look at this. The pin that holds the swingarm is a transmissionaxle as well. That axle will take more impact with the stiff swingarm. The smallest amount of deformation will lead to binding and wear. Whatever way you look at this, there are forces and stresses which the shock does not absorb and are increased by stiffening the swingbar.......

I have two X-rider bikes. They use a similar flywheel design to this bike. They are grear bikes. But, so far, I like what Losi has done with this bike. For one, I ike the fact you can control the rpm on the bike with the remote. Second, I like the battery compartment design they are using. On my X-rider bikes, I am limited to the types of batteries I can use. Because the bikes battery compartment is meant for a cube shape battery. There are not many cube shape Lipos out there. So, I am limited to the battery that came with the bikes. I am looking forward to this bike. I will definitely be picking one up. I hope Losi comes out with upgrade parts for the bike.

It looks more like a real motor cross bike. If it would be possible at all to be able to have the rider slide back a little so if your going through whoopty doos you would have more & better control. The reason why slide back a little is to transfer some weight back so you could skip across the tops of them .
