Losi ProMoto MX First look and first run
Рет қаралды 4,140
Жыл бұрынSorry not sorry about yet another detour from the ongoing projects but this kind of just happened and I am super excited. I got yet another RC and this one is unique and possibly one of the most high-tech land vehicles out there! The Losi Promoto-MX is here, and I am in love with this thing.
I blame Brice from @jack-o-trades for convincing me I needed this in my life, and I am glad he did. It was really fun, and it does have a learning curve to it and I am still figuring everything out! I give you my thought on it and I take it out for a run in the yard, it is not the best footage as I had no idea where to put the camera and it took a while to figure it out.
You guys are all awesome and I appreciate all the great comments and questions from everyone. Really enjoying talking to you all in the comments section.

@AddamsPlayground Жыл бұрын
Thanks Brent! I had a heck of a time staying away from that tree!! I think the super fast gyro makes it more attracted to small trees but I'm no scientist!! LOL! Seeing it in person running around and riding wheelies is totally different than watching on video! It does take some area to run it in, I am hoping it will run around the track but I may have to take it up to the park and run it around to really open it up! Flying Fortress said it best, it is like a RC version of the Evil Knievel wind up bike!!!

Well Addam you have just floored me, your wife is a wonderful lady to support you in your hobby. Just listening to the two of you laughing and having a wonderful time is great. Yes get the first scratch out of the way (accident). Looks like you have a handle on the ProMoto MX. Great unboxing and explanation (short/brief) hope you enjoy the new addition to the fleet. I'm hoping you will have more fun with this in the yard. Take care and keep the fun coming. 💯💯💯💯💥💥👍

Thanks Al!! Most of the laughing was one of my kids! The wife was not so quick to laugh as she knew the price tag of this one! She did not care at all about the tree, just as long as the bike was ok! It is pretty easy to drive around and get going. It does take a little to figure out the turning and I need to play around with the settings and the brakes going into the turn to tighten up the turn radius! It is the perfect new addition to your big field and new track! Not the giant speedsters you normally run but I think you would not stop laughing driving this!!

Yeah when you turn it on it spins up and keeps going and going and going.... That flywheel is cooking in there but it really makes it to where you can drive really slowly is you wanted to! It can easily drive and a quick walking pace on the grass and probably slower on pavement. I am very impressed with the engineering in this thing!

Thanks Mike! It is a big one and I am not really sure where to put it! It is standing on my work desk down there as it won't fit on the shelves or in the bookcases! I will have to let the bike take credit for being able to drive it right away! It is very forgiving and it really wants to stand upright! It is a little harder getting the turns down but I think with more practice I will get much better at it! I plan on getting it in the dirt this weekend either on the track or out at the ball field. Not sure if I am ready to drive on the track yet!

Hi there Addam, oh wow! What a great 3k subscription present from Mrs W 😊😊😊😊I’ve seen this in the UK online retailers, they retail at around £530, which is an a lot of money indeed. But like you mentioned, a lot of R&D, electronics went into this being a very highly detailed and easy to master RC. So, so, nice to have one featured on Addam’s Playground 😊😊😊enjoy the awesome Losi MX and a huge congratulations again on 3k subscriptions, so well deserved. Best wishes to you and the family 😊😊

Thanks John! It was a very nice surprise when she came home with it! I was not sure if she was or not!! It is pricey but way more worth than say a black edition Tamiya Avante kit! At least this is a fully RTR kit with a ton of features in it. The wheelie mode is the best fun! To see it pull and ride a wheelie with no more effort than squeezing the trigger is so cool and fun to watch! The video does not do it justice, you have to see it in action to really appreciate the size, speed and fun it is! I will git it out in the dirt soon I hope!

Thanks Bud! I had a ball with it and It has been sitting on my work bench since I got it both because it is so cool and I enjoy looking at and I am not sure where else to put it, it won't fit on my shelves!! LOL! I think the flywheel effect makes it more attracted to the tress than a normal RC is! At least that's my story!! My kid was laughing so hard at it but my wife was not so eager to laugh as she knew the price of it and did not laugh until it was determined it was all good! She cared less about the tree and was more worried I broke it in the first minute of driving it. To be fair it has happened more than once so I understand the concern! I was surprise on how much grass/plant wrapped up in the so fast! I think I made it 5 feet of grazing the edge of the flower bed before it fell over into it. It could really start melting things quickly!

Hey there David! I appreciate you checking it out and glad you enjoyed it! It is such a cool bike and I am in love with the tech and engineering in this thing! It is also huge, video does not do it justice, which is also a pretty big wow factor! I am not sure where to put it to be honest! It is too big for the shelves! LOL! I had not really planned on getting one this soon, I figured since I did not pre-order it it was going to be months and months before I would be able to grab one. Thankfully my wife understands the RC market enough to realize this too and picked it up! It has wrecked my RC budget for a bit but it was worth it! I'll get it out in the dirt soon I hope!

Yeah, My kid was cackling at the crashes and stuff! My wife not so much as she knew the price tag on it! LOL! If you don't turn the flywheel off it takes a long time for it to stop spinning. It isn't going to hurt it but it stops way faster when you turn it off. I think this is definitely THE release of the 2023 for sure! I hope so at least, I don't think I can afford anything cooler than this!!! LOL!

Don’t think I would have the same success jokingly nudging my wife to pick up one of these at the hobby store for me while she was picking up some paint for me! She probably would of come home with just a picture of it, and the price tag, as well as a message stating ; “are you out of your mind?”🥴 😂 I’ve been following this on many channels! They’re awesome! I’ve got a few Rc bikes, but none so awesome as this. I can only hope that some budget version of this comes out on a smaller scale. I heard to add a few drops of cA glue on the muffler cap and it stays on reassuringly so. Great tips and advise and a truly amazing wife brother!👍🏻😎
@AddamsPlayground Жыл бұрын
I found a great lady for sure, she is very good to me and I am admittedly spoiled! LOL! I think the problem with the muffler cap is looked lubed to be able to press in easily so it may pop off easily too! I am going to clean it up and a few drops of ca sounds like a good idea to not loose it again. Losi really did their homework and created an incredible machine. I don't know if they would be able to shrink it down much more, there is like zero room inside this thing! They have stuff stacked on stuff inside to fit everything in there. Who knows what is next from them but this one is a hit so far. My only worry is the longevity of the flywheel bearings. Take care Robby.

There is a lot going on with this RC! I love all the cool features and design of it all! It runs well and runs into trees to! LOL! The one 4 inch obstacle out there and I hit it twice! It takes some time to learn the steering but I was able to drive it right away and had little trouble with it staying upright. The wheelies are the best part and they are so easy as the bike controls them for you. Occasionally it can snap up faster than the gyro can self correct but that was my fault usually! I will get it out on the dirt very soon, either on the track if I can navigate it well enough or out to the ball field like the rally cars!

It is a great looking bike and a lot of fun to drive but I do need more practice with it. It does very well at driving at low speed it is just the turning that needs to the right amount of speed to get right. I will get it out on the dirt, either the track or the ball field!

I can only imagine what he is working on over there in the creation cave!!! I am not sure what the run time was on this first pack but I feel like I was out there running it around for 15 minutes if not more! I think that is not a lot in todays standards but more than enough to really enjoy it and get a good feel for it. A few minutes rest to cool off everything and another battery and you will be right back into and really running well! I think if you are not going full speed the run time increases, most of the time I was 1/2 to full throttle and it lasted decently.

Yeah it is a pricey one but I look at it as something like the Avante Black edition was pretty much the same price here and that was a remake of an old kit so this being all new, unique RTR with this this cool tech and engineering I felt ok with it. I still can't pay the $1100 for the giant SCX6 even though I want one! Maybe if I lived in the mountains! LOL! I was good fun running and yes, my kid was laughing at my skills, my wife not as much since she knows the price tag for it! LOL!! It is all good and I hope to get it on the dirt this weekend.

This is a great innovation in the r/c world. I don't think you would've been able to run the r/c motorcycles of the past in grass. It's very seldom you see people like yourself so excited. Thanks for sharing your review. I think you may have to take your wife out to dinner at her favorite place. I am sure we will learn about any weaknesses. I have seen one video where they bent some spokes and broke one plastic piece. It's going to be interesting to see if other companies can keep up. This is more technologically advanced, but when the RTR T-Maxx came out it changed the industry as did the Slash. We use the word cool a lot, but this is cool.
@AddamsPlayground Жыл бұрын
Very true! It is not too often something comes along that is both unique and good! So far this seems to be both! I am sure parts will get broken, they always will! My biggest concern is that flywheel and the bearings on it. They are taking a punishment the whole time and I hope they worked out all the bugs with them in their testing. If they fails then the bike is bricked until it is running again. Overall I am very impressed and yes very excited to get something with this much tech and engineering and I was also taken back by the size. It is all very impressive and I can see classes for these opening up on 1/8th scale tracks across the country!

You can turn it on while its on its side too so you dont need to carry the stand just as long as there is no movement in the bike for that first 5 seconds as it calibrates. I agree its not for small yards the turn radius is huge. Its actually better in the street despite being a dirt bike. My Spektrum battery doesnt even get warm.This is so different you really have to plan ahead as to where your going there is no reverse to get you out of a situation so plan on walking a lot lol.

Yeah, I found out after recording all this it does not have to be upright, just motionless for the calibration. It is super cool but does take some room! It was terribly hot and miserable out there when I was running so I was not surprised everything was really warm when I got done with it! Yes, you will get some steps in learning how to drive it! You are right as well that route planning is much more critical with this and finding yourself in a 'oh crap' situation means plowing on the brakes and walking to go get it! I am excited to see what else come out for these in the aftermarket. I am also curious if they are going to release a street bike version.

I am sure they will be doing a street bike version of this as well. It just seems like a natural thing to evolve this into one. Geometry is a lot different on them but they do have the advantage of a lower CG on a street bike though which would help stability.
