Fantastic find Earl, not only the find but also showing the step by step of the quick and easy fix for it. I love the concrete curb sandstone, make due with what you have around you. the Airplane reference also key, one of my all time favorite movies. Great Video and thanks for the heads up and tutorial, I know this is something I'll look at right away when I get mine......eventually hehe.

Yo Earl, after inspecting this bike when i first got it, something told me the most problematic part on this bike was yup the front breaks, when arrived home after my first run, i grabbed the cleaning duster and blew all the dirt out that area, i must of used a quarter of the can. I believe you can't allow any accumulation of dirt. A tiny application of some form of lubricant may keep that spring loose so it functions properly.

Adding a little more clearance will help as I notice the plastic gets deformed over time as well specially if it gets impacted 👌

I use lock lube on that kind of stuff.. goes on wet but dries into a graphite lube.

After I saw Amain had a problem with this I have kept an eye on it mine only seems tight if you really move it up but I will do this to be safe so great info thanks and I think you can do this and not pull the caliper off that might be easier which I know you were just inspecting everything just a thought for those of us that will try this as well. Btw the stand has a front and a rear if you look the lips on top are different the longer one goes to the rear a least thats how I find works best for me it seems to hold it better

I got the new Venom Pro Duo charged Earl. It’s an excellent charger. Just lipo storage charged my current lipos about a week ago. I’m gonna just buy me some newer ones and charge those up instead. Just want to cover all bases. That dirt bike is really cool I might buy one lol.

been watching lots of these motoX video's and everyone's showing the driving and how they feel about it and if there happy , was it worth the hype and so on but not many that i have seen that are actually going into the maintenance side of things like what you have been doing and showing/sharing these important fixes so people can continue to have fun , i think Losi and some other RC production companies would gain way more positive feedback if they send you the products straight up for the amount of knowledge and effort you put in they cant get else where 🙂

Hey Earl! Nice little hack on sanding that break shaft on the sidewalk! I would put a little dry lube maybe Graphite power and that being sealed that would work out Great!
