It was, the first runs were without the flywheel on. You can hear it spinning when it’s on. And, it’s like night and day when it is on. I can try to get footage again.
It is a very cool platform with lots of customizations available. I was blown away with how stable it is at slow speeds. Losi has knocked this out of the park!
Thank You! Dude, this is a killer ride. It begs for large open tracks! I just got back from running in the dirt and have the batteries on the charger itching to go back out. Super fun, durable, just plain awesome.
Good luck in getting your's soon. They are a blast. I would recommend reading through the manual and understanding everything. I have a habit of trying to figure things out by trial and error but that's not necessary the way to go with this bike.
I know the feeling of waiting for something cool. My only recommendation is ready through the quick start manual. it will help ensure you have a good experience with those first runs.
Thanks for watching. I'm not an MX rider. I do ride but I think there is a little here for everyone. I spent the day "Bashing" on all trains and I think it works pretty well as a basher. It managed to stay in one piece the entire day that would have otherwise sent other RC cars home in pieces.
Thing is awesome Brice. Must be such a different experience to run. I have seen a few videos on it and you definitely need to find some dirt and jumps. Looks to be epic.
Thanks Keith. The more I drive it the more I am amazed at what it's capable of. I did get some proper footage of it running coming up in the next video. I don't have any dirt tracks near me. I need to find some local BMX tracks. I agree, I think this could be one of those epic RC's that has the potential to be iconic.
this is shocking Former biker (now paralyzed and in a wheelchair) but he could feel the cold again I hope the day you can buy it in Japan will come soon
That's awesome you already got it! You are right about Tamiya too, I am still waiting for a couple kits from them from pre-orders from months and months ago! It looks super fun to drive and I am sure I will get one at some point. I did not jump on one right away, I wanted to give it some time to make sure it was not going to me something like the Axial Ryft and look and seem super cool but turn out to be a nightmare! I will be looking forward to your thoughts on it from both the fun aspect and the engineering side of it to how it does!
Argh, my original reply didn't get posted. Thanks Addam. I spent yesterday getting some proper runs in on the bike and I can unequivically say that it's a winner. after a day of bashing, running into things, tumbling, crashing, and just general bad driving and mayhem it's held up like a champ. It might be just me but I feel like the flywheel might be getting noisier. I seemed to notice it get load after running into a parked car (the car totally jumped out of nowhere). But there are no perceptible vibrations from the bike so I wonder if the flywheel bearings are wearing due to the tumbles/crashes. That being said I put that one on me and it hasn't prevented me from running. It does need some space to stretch its legs but it doesn't have to be pretty. This seems to suck-up what ever terrain you throw at it as a 1/4 scales should. It does go through batteries. I'm getting about 15 minutes of run time on each pack. So be prepared for that. Once I get all my hop-up parts in, I'll tear into the bike for a more critical look. Cheers!
Yep, *bows head in shame* I remember thinking I should read the instructions and then got caught up in the excitement. For this particular ride, the instructions are critical to have a good experience.
There are some really cool videos of this running on big dirt tracks hitting triples like the big boys. I could easily see this bike creating its own racing class. They’ve worked out quite a few bugs with the rc moto’s. But it’s kind of a weird statement right. Is it really a gimmick, to what ends? This a hobby to have fun with. And, I can unequivocally say this is a fun ride. I just got back from running two pack in the sweltering heat and was bummed that I ran out of batteries. I was just getting into the bike, getting a feel for how it handles. With RC there is so much diversity that everyone can find their own niche.
I am so glad all the youtubers get everything before paying customers get there stuff and there customer service is crap wont answer on my missing body I ordered and no clue on the items I pre-ordered it is criminal at this point
Waiting sucks. I preordered mine from tower hobbies on the day I discovered it (6-22). I wouldn't stress too much it's been less than a month since it was announced. I have pre-ordered Tamiya kits that took more than a year to ship. Good luck with your order.
Yes, yes, yes. It was late and I couldn't wait to try it out. Next video has it running on all terrains. And they do have street tires available for order. I plan to build up a couple of different wheel sets.
your rolling back flip was because you did not have it on the right mode, dirt mode will do that on pavement. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are probably right. I’m a little slow on the uptake and still learning.
I did not think the bike was run without the flywheel on

Awesome video! Lol. I’m glad I’m watching all these promotox
There's lots of cool videos out there. I'm amazed at some of the jumping and track videos.
Amazing what LOSI has done. It's a game changer so much potential
I agree, a game changer and I think it will get better from here on out. Once people get their hands on these it opens a whole new world of coolness.
I owned that Ricky Carmichael rc as a kid. This is super nostalgic!
That's awesome. How did you like it? I am super tempted to get my hands on one just to see what it's like. I also need to dig out my other RC moto's
Awesome Brice! The blue looks amazing.
Thanks! It is a really nice looking ride and seems to be holding up well to tumbles.
Cool video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to seeing it run on a track.
Great bike Brice. I like the colour options. The run's great, too. Even on slow speeds it looks very stable.

Great video Brice.
Thank You! Dude, this is a killer ride. It begs for large open tracks! I just got back from running in the dirt and have the batteries on the charger itching to go back out. Super fun, durable, just plain awesome.
Congrats on the new unit. Good news on ordering yours on the 22nd and getting it today. That means mine should be here soon as well 🤗
Good luck in getting your's soon. They are a blast. I would recommend reading through the manual and understanding everything. I have a habit of trying to figure things out by trial and error but that's not necessary the way to go with this bike.
Can’t wait for my Big Red to show up! Probably better I get to watch all the videos, so I can look like a pro when I get mine. Lol great video
!
I know the feeling of waiting for something cool. My only recommendation is ready through the quick start manual. it will help ensure you have a good experience with those first runs.
I ain’t gonna lie, I really want one of these.
It ain't a basher, Mx riders will know the feeling

Maybe a titanium skid plate for the ol spark effect. Lol.
this is shocking

Will it go on grass? Can you do a clip of that...even if its bad. No one shows that.
Yes, it actually does well on grass. It kind of tames it down and is more forgiving. I’m editing the footage from the run and will have it up shortly.
That's awesome you already got it! You are right about Tamiya too, I am still waiting for a couple kits from them from pre-orders from months and months ago!

@@jack-o-trades awesome thanks for the update!! I assume I will be asking for one o f these in the very near future if there are any left to be had!!
First view yea me
Nice How much Bro
$550 or $600 with the battery and charger
no one read instuction for first run ....
Yep, *bows head in shame* I remember thinking I should read the instructions and then got caught up in the excitement. For this particular ride, the instructions are critical to have a good experience.
Learning curve.. ya read manual.
Yes, you are right
16 minutes of taking 2 minutes of running ☠️
LOL, it’s an unboxing video. Thank you for sitting through 16 minutes of me yammering. There’s definitely better running videos out there.
Short lived gimmick.

Would love to see a 4 wheeler 1/4 chain driven would be 🔥🔥🔥
i think it was kyosho that used to have a nitro quad with a chain. It wasnt just a truck with a quad body either.
Yeah, they had the quad and go kart. 1/4 scale anything is huge.

since it is a dirt bike take it to a dirt rc car track as a fair test. they need to have super motard street slicks also
Yes, yes, yes. It was late and I couldn't wait to try it out. Next video has it running on all terrains. And they do have street tires available for order. I plan to build up a couple of different wheel sets.
